The photo does not do this Azelia justice. We bought it as a very poor specimen and it's rewarded us with a fabulous display each year. I hope I can work out a way of working around it when we enlarge the pond later this year.



One of our mobile ornaments self-placed in the exotic border.


Oh, how I wish I could recall more plant names. OK, it's a clematis, blue, about to burst into flower ... i'll stop there.








Euphorbia - name unknown. Quite delightful but vigorous (a euphemism for invasive).

Paeonia mlokosewitschii Ranunculaceae. Otherwise known as Molly the Witch - Golden Paeony. We've yet to see this flower, it having been in the garden for about three years now. I wonder it's offended by the fact that we can't pronounce its name correctly, choosing to be a little familiar with by calling it "Molly". the bergenia isn't nearly so precious.

Trillium, so good in Hidcotee Gardens, but yet to show for us. We will persevere as it's such an unusual plant.

Hostas just breaking through; we've used up all copper slug barrier so have resorted to chemical warfare.

Hellebores and Corydalis Flexuosa make for a pleasant combination, from several angles.
