Sorry about the sideways view of Rosa Ferdinand Pichard - cannot work out how it twisted whilst being uploaded! Still with gorgeous self-sown pink aquilegia and deep red Persicaria bistorta "Red Dragon"a jolly bunch to welcome Hay Festival of Literature guests to Chess Cottage.
Winchester Cathedral - lovely white rose (with hint of pink on buds) with Geranium "Jolly Bee", Blue centaura and peeping white Allium Nigrum - about to be thinned out but to the eye very pleassing - photos never do blue justice do they?
I always love the evening scent of the Hesperis matronlis - alba died during the snow but the lilac is faithfully drifting through the box ball border. The other herbs are from The Cottage Herbery - I have forgotten the name of the great blue - looks like a weed - some kind of ... wort. It's a rare open weekend on 5th and 6th so I'll drop over to Tenbury to reacquaint myself. Also to see what Maggie and Kim have in the way of dye plants to add to my collection. Another good reason not to wash that fleece ... actually its been pretty chilly and damp so it's still propped ominously in the garage watching the swifts dive in and out.
Ok so I give up, why are photos that are correct in My Documents loading sideways? This lovely cat applique resides in Chess Cottage - sewn by Anne Bebbington - a real treat. Do look at her blog her work rate and skill is phenomenal. quiltingbebbs.blogspot.com
