My mother says "I am so glad that you have come today - I want you to see my foxgloves. Look at them! Aren't they wonderful this year? And those irises have come up very strongly - they are no trouble, I just leave them to it. Come and stand here by the bench, you get the best view. Of course the foxgloves won't last forever but by then the rose will take over and that should last for a few weeks. Now come and see my vegetable garden..."
Your mother sounds a bit like me when I have visitors. Her garden is a delight.
ReplyDeleteHer garden is a real cottage garden - a tumble of flowers growing beside the river. Always something to look at and very charming.
Deleteso lovely. my mother would ask me to come and see the roses, and then ten minutes later ask me again..............
ReplyDeleteI will probably be like that - only in my case it will be the lupins.
DeleteMy Irises put on a marvellous display this year, and the perfume was amazing. Fewer Foxgloves but there is a lovely white one, which I cherish.
ReplyDeleteI would love to see your Mum's garden, yours too.
