Plants that Pleased at Chelsea I’ve been trawling through my many images of Chelsea and. Some are just for admiring – others I may well emulate. Orange was definitely the colour du jour with geums, verbascums and erysimums popping up in many of the gardens.
Pleasing Palettes

Pleasing PalettesIt’s always nice when planning pays off and colour combinations turn out as you’ve hoped – and equally pleasing when something surprises you. I have a bit of both in the garden. The dolly tubs either side of the front door have been planted with the dainty and softly coloured Elka narcissus, combined with Exotic Emperor tulips to make a subtle early display that tones perfectly with the paint colour of the front door. As they fade they will be replaced with the later flowering vibrant pink tulip Barcelona which I have planted deeper in the tubs for a completely different effect.
Elsewhere in the garden I combined Belle Epoque tulips with bellis daisies in a stone planter and have watched in fascination as the tulips leaves have emerged with pink stripes on their leaves that exactly match the daisies – now that one wasn’t planned.I’m making good progress with tidying the garden and replacing early spring pots of cyclamen and crocus with later flowering spring plants. My two angels always get the pick of the plants and look lovely right now with snakeshead fritillaries against a backdrop of pheasant grass.

A Pleasing Vista at Vestra’s Garden
A Pleasing Vista at Vestra’s Garden Vestra Wealth’s garden was full of great detailing – combined with some of the best planting in the show. I loved the wooden rill with water dropping into the pool below – the colour of the wood was echoed by the nearby copper box which was probably the grandest logstore I’ve ever seen.

Mr Postman Please Be Kind to Bees
Mr Postman Please Be Kind to Bees It would appear that the Post Office hasn’t got the message that bees are a good thing and that killing them is a bad thing, even when they interfere with the postal service. Walking down a lane in Suffolk we came across this letterbox which had been taped up with black and yellow tape to stop people posting letters because some bees had taken up residence. The result was frantic buzzing from inside, lots of bees trying to find their way in and many dead bees who had died trying to get into the box. We tried to poke some holes in the tape but it fell off (whoops) resulting in much happy bee activity. I can’t imagine that anyone would be daft enough to try and post a letter in a box so clearly occupied by bees, but surely the correct action would be to put up a sign saying ‘Box out of action until bees can be moved’ and then call on the help of a local beekeeper? We need all our bees.
