Storm warning so I grabbed some Lillium images before a potential flattening deluge. Never happened! Just a steady soaking rain most of the night and today. Good to have a record of late November’s show. The pink and the white “Christmas Lillies” next to come.

Salvia pratensis “Sweet Esmeralda”. Returns after cutting back through the Spring and early Summer months. I will divide this after it’s first cut back. I have a space in the “Dryish” garden where a few could grow and self seed. Some Salvias can be thugs when allowed to self seed, this one is just about perfect for the task.

Alpine Aster. My “Go-to” plant for low growing flowers Spring till end of Autumn. I haven’t noticed this in nurseries for years and years. Is it rare, or just overlooked by buyers? We cut it down 3 or so times over the months and it always comes back. I can’t think of another perennial that does what this marvellous perennial does. Does anybody else know this plant and value it as I do?

Deutzia “The Magician” is always worth the wait.

15/11/2024

Ornithaligum arabescens multiplies generously and is super hardy. A Star in the dry-ish bed and very comfortable in tricky spots (as in above). #

Hydrangea anomala petiolaris has climbed up a sheer wall over the past 7 years. Never given it manure or anything except access to the watering system.

03/11/2024

Salvia “Sweet Esmeralda” fills a corner for several weeks as I am deadheading it every so often. There is variety in the colours as the hoods open and colours fade.

02/11/2024

A ridge of white and yellow Iris. They might be “Better than Butter”, but I’m not sure.

27/10/2024

The Avenue. All the poppies are self seeded.

19/10/2024

Morning light on the Peonie patch. 🌸

12/10/2024

Peonie Morning Lilac is our first Itoh to flower. Love the deep tone.

I never knew Clematis had a vase life! Been 6 days. Just cut them off because we were planting the three we bought at Bolobeck. Am I the only person who has never realised that I could have been picking them for all those years?

03/10/2024

Another light rain. Still need more though. Geranium Guernsey White is still looking good 2 weeks after I first posted this image. I love it!Hope to collect some viable seed this year. It has had a few relocations to find the ideal position in the morning shade. gardening

03/10/2024

Some Spring highlights 2024.

Was initially disappointed that I’d inadvertently combined two different achilleas. Now I quite like the variation. What do you think? Should I just have the Moonshine? #achilleas #achilleamoonshine #perennialplants #gardeninspiration #successionplanting #flowersofspring #opengardensvictoria #opengardens #perennialflowers #salvialovers #springstyle

Allium gigantium clump has been cherished in our garden for at least 20 years. They have multiplied slowly. I’m not quite brave enough to mix them in with other Spring plants. Am wondering if I should. #alliumgiganteum #alliums #alliumflowers #mixedplanting #successionplanting #gardeninspiration #perennialplants #flowersofspring #salvialovers

White garden beginning to flourish. The next 40 days will see foxgloves and white poppies in full flower. Then the Liliums in late November and December. #springflowers #successionplanting #gardendesign #perennialplants #flowersofspring #cottagegardens #opengardens #gardeninspiration #whitegardens #irissociety #perennialgarden #northeastvictoria #highcountryvictoria #highcountrygardens #perennialflowers

We are open for Iris Society tour this coming Thursday. Book in for 24th October at irissociety.com.au

Still tinkering with the “Hot Bed” but just have to place a couple of dahlias. (Or three). #successionplanting #gardendesign #gardeninspiration #successionplanting #opengardensvictoria #flowersofspring #springstyle #geums #irislove #irisgarden #opengarden #gardenwedding

Around the garden today #springflowers #gardendesign #perennialplants #gardeninspiration #successionplanting #opengardens #peoniesofinstagram #flowersmakemehappy #dutchiris #springstyle #gardenweddings #seasonalflowers

Geums are blooming well in the “Hot Bed”. Liliums showing through. I have crammed even more there this year. #gardeninspiration #gardendesign #perennialplants #opengardensvictoria #opengardens #salvialovers #springflowers #perennialborder #successionplanting #springflowers

Spent the afternoon in the “Fence Garden”. Main tasks weeding and dividing dahlias, cutting down the lemon jamensis Salvia, scratching the mulch away from the Iris (again!), fertilising the Irises and potting up cuttings of white daisy bush, dahlias and Salvia. Images are from this area. This morning was just as productive in the front area of the garden. I love September. ❤️#gardendesign #springflowers #irislovers #gardeninspiration #opengardensvictoria #perennialplants #epimediumcopperqueen #epimediums #springflowers #springgardening #springbulbs #successionplanting #flowersmakemehappy #gardenweddingideas
