Last July I wrote about my delusions of grandeur as I attempted to translate some Chelsea box clouds into my own little patch of SW19. I had only got as far as planting the box balls & all that remained of the original planting was a rose vaguely positioned towards the middle of the bed & a runty clump of sedum towards the back.
It was all planted up in the early autumn & I tried oh so hard to keep the planting fairly simple & limited. Here are some spring views taken on different days towards the end of March.
I think aa Silver Gilt for sure, possibly a Gold but I dont know if you have fulfilled your original brief!!!

So lovely - something well worth to be proud of. I will come back with my note book and 'steal' a few ideas if you don't mind.
ReplyDeleteWow, it looks great! I love the lilac crocuses with the black ophiopogon. It makes both colours sort of shimmer.
ReplyDeletePG, how very generous. I don't think I had briefs at the time!
ReplyDeleteRonnie, thank you so much. If you think there is something worth a steal then steal away - metaphorically speaking of course.
Victoria, I was so pleased with that crocus/ophiopogon combination; just perfect & that is something I don't often say. I would love to say it was planned & although it sort of was in truth it was really a happy accident!
Beautiful! Love the bright yellow. I'm really looking forward to starting mine in a month or so.
