Six on Saturday

It seems there is still plenty of colour and interest in our gardens, if the display table at our gardening group is anything to go by.  So here are our six.

Dorothy brought a bouquet of Chrysanthemum, Dahlia, Carnation, Primula, Diascia and Rose

 Judith’s Rosa mutabilis

 Ann’s vase contained Amicia zygomeris, Salvia Mexicana and luecanthe, Corydalis ochroleuca, Persicaria affinis Fat Domino and Golden Arrow, Chaenomeles speciosa Geisha Girl, Tricyrtis Empress, Nerine bowdenii, a red and pink Hesperantha, Antirrhinum, Gaillardia, Rudbeckia and Calceolaria

James brought the annual Rudbeckia gloriosa grown from seed, Liriope which thrives under the canopy of a large tree and the heritage Chrysanthemum, Suffolk Pink, which he is helping to conserve in his garden

 Judith brought an attractive display of foliage which includes from Spotty Dotty, Cotinus,  variegated Iris foetidissima, Abelia grandiflora, Euphorbia griffithii, the silver Senecio, Rue, variegated Bergenia Tubby Andrews, Pittosporum Tom Thumb, Brunnera and variegated Laurel

On one of Jenny’s regular visits to The Hollies, she spotted this green/turquoise decomposing wood and wondered if it was from copper or algae.  The Hollies is a small park in the suburbs of Leeds which attained Platinum in this year’s Parks in Bloom competition
