This is an experiment with Mastodon threads. I post loads of plant photos here and thought that I might be able to organise them by garden using sub-threads.
Every time I add a photo, I’ll edit the head post of that garden thread, so if you like the head post, you’ll automatically get a notification.
Tumbling Ted (Saponaria ocymoides) in the gable end bed of the #Rhug garden, planted by the client. Initially I was quite resistant, it isn't #NativePlants but then, it is their garden! 😆
It’s grown on me (pun intended), billowing pink floriferousness and spilling-over-ness in the early part of the season.
Common Drone Fly (Eristalis tenax) on Daffodil Garlic (Allium neapolitanum). This is in the south facing bed by the track at the front of the house, backed by a 3m high wall.
Seriously, this edible onion has been an absolute star in the garden, a mass of star shaped white flowers in late summer
I say orchard. There are 2 plum trees 'Early Prolific' & 'Late Victoria', 2 cherries 'Sunburst' & 'Merton Glory', Blackcurrants, Redcurrants and a Chokeberry (Aronia melanocarpa), which replaced the poor Saskatoon (Amelanchier alnifolia) as it was way too dry.
In the orchard is stands of one of my favourite #NativePlants Bugle (Ajuga reptans). Makes a lovely ground cover in the right conditions.
