| Wallflowers Covered In Snow |
Two months ago the planting in the 'border in the corner' was covered in snow, a blanket of white hiding what lay beneath and would eventually create the colourful display that can be seen now.

| Wallflowers and Tulips, 1st May 2018 |
The border, planted in October, see blog entry 10th October 2017 'From Summer To Spring In Just Two Days!' contains Wallflower 'Sunset Bronze', deep red with a gold edge on the petals, and the double late tulips Tulipa 'Uncle Tom' and Tulipa 'Antraciet', maroon red and magenta red respectively.
Bold and bright colours this year but this hasn't always been the case as can be seen by the previous nine years which were captured on camera for the blog. These series of photographs show the different colour and planting schemes every year from the use of tulips, wallflowers, bellis, viola and polyanthus back in 2009 to wallflowers and tulips in 2018.

You boys have cornered the market for corners. Brilliant!
ReplyDeleteRoger, after ten years we think we have mastered the corner border, looking forward to creating this summer's display
