Three Years Ago

A through back picture from before the conservatory was built and we had a vegetable patch and even a sunflower in it.

Dew on Hydrangea

It's already that time of year when the flowers are starting to fade and die back just the Hydrangea's giving a splash of colour to the garden.

Pretty in Pink

I always think Spirea are a little underrated in the Garden, in fact, I think this is the first picture I have taken of this particular flower despite having it for years.

Poor old Sidalcea

Our Sidalcea flowered well initially but sadly they fell pray to our flower eating Roe Deer who nibbled a lot more flowers than just the Roses this year. 

Sidalcea or Prarie Mallows are heavy blooming, somewhat rare perennial mallows which produce bright, saucer-shaped flowers (which resemble hollyhocks) on long, slender stems. They attract butterflies and are excellent cut flowers. Sidalcea plants are true perennials that grow to 3 feet tall. Winter hardy to zone 5.
