Red and Green in my garden.

Well these certainly seem to have appreciated the rain dear LGM

I love this splash of red in your garden, Amelia. Kindest regards, Joe

une plante très décorative et facile de culture

Looks wonderful, Amelia !

A lovely combination it's a nice flower so long as you don't let it seed :(( The only time I have seen a Humming Bird Hawk Moth it was feeding on Valerian

Yes - I take out seedlings every year, and try to contain the valerian to two areas.

The red flowers against the green foliage works brilliantly. Super sharp too!

Lovely cetranthus ruber, nature often does complemantary colours:-)

Beautifully captured Amelia. They get everywhere in my front garden, along the wall. I have to pull a lot of them up. They make a lovely picture though.

A lovely colourful garden scene, Amelia.

This is very beautiful and Centranthus makes a wonderful garden perennial. We cannot grow many flowers, though, because the deer eat everything. If they are hungry enough they even eat the lower branches of the conifers and the bark off the other trees. My wife sprays the plants with a mix of soap, raw eggs and milk, but it does little to deter them.

A lovely contrast.

You have a wonderful garden
