This week in my garden

I have some lovely plants of the old fashioned cottage garden Agrostemma, renamed Lychnis Coronaria, blooming now. I did have the white and the pink forms but only the bright fushia colour remains. They self seed so you never quite know where they will come up next.


The next thing flowering right now is primula vialli, a similar colour to the Lychnis but much mre showy and unusual. It likes to be fairly damp so I hope it survives in my back garden where the clay is already baking well.

Lastly is Clematis Marie Boisellot which lights up a wall in the back garden. It's pure white flowers are lovely and as big as saucers.
