carnations, clary sage, Darsham Nurseries, dianthus superbus alba, June, pinks, Suffolk

I just had to share this with you, Clary sage and Dianthus.

I love the colour contrast especially against the grey table top.

I love the shredded paper like quality to the white petals of the carnation.

Seen today at Darsham Nurseries, Suffolk. D.

In a Vase on Monday: cottage garden bounty

Alchemilla mollis, cranesbill, fox and cubs, hardy geraniums, in a vase on Monday, June, Knautia macedonica, lychnis, perennial sweet peas, poppy seed heads, roses, Suffolk

It is always interesting to visit someone else’s garden don’t you think? This garden is delightful, loose, free, the epitome, if you like of a cottage garden. Consequently todays vase is the same.

There is an unknown variety of a pink rose and five different hardy geraniums. They are pink ones, white and purples. There are perennial sweet peas in soft pink and a dark pink lychnis. There is Alchemilla and the wild flower known as fox and cubs.

Dark claret buttons of Knautia Macedonica repeat the strength of colour from the lychnis.

The garden planting scheme was created by designer Laura Arison.

The jug is a complimentary green colour is stamped “Mersey” on the base and most likely will have been one of the owners finds. The colour repeats the poppy seed head colour. Pleasing.

Joining Monday Cathy with this vase.

Have a lovely Monday and thanks for reading. D.

Tuesday view: 27/6/17

Dryopteris filix-mas, English country garden, perennial sweet pea, poppies, poppy seed heads, succulent planter, Suffolk, summerhouse, Tuesday View

Today I am sharing my Tuesday view but it is not actually mine. Going against the spirit of the meme Cathy hosts, I hope I will be forgiven, this is my view today.

A long narrow garden with brick and pebble paths there is no grass to maintain. Instead the whole garden is packed with plants. There are half a dozen trees, including a couple of mature apples, a beech and an ornamental weeping pear.

There are rambler roses and honeysuckle clambering around. These predate the new planting of white foxgloves, poppies, evening primrose, perennial sweet pea and knautia macedonia. Valerian, fennel, alliums and geraniums to name just a few.


There are lots of grasses including Stipa gigantea, stipa tenuissima and stipa arundica. Through the planting there is a stepping path of sleepers set in the ground to enable easier access for maintenance and for complete immersion through the plants. Low growing thyme and vinca minor have been planted around the timbers. 

It is a delightful sight especially as I do not have to work on it, I can just enjoy its prettiness. Further down the garden there are a number of ramshackle buildings including a summer house, log store, studio and shed. Yes this garden has not one but five buildings. In the first photo you can see the exterior of the brick built studio. This is the approach to the summerhouse.

How sweet is this.


At the top of the garden which is shadier there are ferns and hellebores. I like this combination, perennial sweet pea and fern Dryopteris filix 


I hope you enjoyed this view, I think it’s super. 


Poppy seed heads. 

Another look at the succulent planter.

In a Vase on Monday: Christina’s flowers

garden flowers, in a vase on Monday, Suffolk, sweet peas

I have just arrived for a few days break in Christina’s cottage. Her garden is a picture and the house was full of little pots of flowers. As there is a hay fever sufferer in our group I have put the flowers outside.   The sweet peas are deep purple, the quiet version of that name. 

All so pretty. Then outside the door is a large jam jar type glass vessel and I really like how it is strung up. 

What a good idea unless the wind gets up I suppose. 

So these are my borrowed in a Vase on Monday to join Cathy. Have a good day all.
