The Delargo Gardens - October.

Here we are again me dears. The nights are drawing in it's cold damp and dark but the salvias just keep on going.

 

 

The great blessing we have at the moment is that both of the massive trees have gone. Going into November the garden would be under a foot of dead leaves by now.

All in all the gardens are looking quite respectable and still provide a nice place to sit in when we get a bit of late sun.

We still have a few stalwarts giving us colour and joy. Bizzy Lizzy above and pelargonium below

Begonias are fab from May until the frosts.

I adore Brunnera this is Jack Frost it has the most wonderful leaves that will be replaced in the Spring with a mass of forget me not like flowers.

Japanese Anemone

Joy of Joys our Cymbidium Orchid has produced a flower spike.

Donny is over the moon that the orchid is going to flower again but he also wanted to mention the up and coming 'Fuchsia Fest' and this months sneak preview - Fuchsia 'Thalia' .

It will be interesting to see what November will have to offer and we look forward to seeing you back in the garden then.

But till then it's

The Delargo Gardens - September

 Hello me dears September has passed and we are slipping into Autumn - Winter 'drawers' on ! But the salvias are just coming into their own and our Nerine has decided to flower for the first time in 5 years.

 We have more Salvias in flower than I have photos but here are a few snaps.

 

 That is about it for the stars of the month but before we go off to tour the estate we have a plant I have always disliked but is looking stunning in the garden at the moment - Japanese anemone - Eriocapitella hupehensis

 Well there tiz then me darlins. Grab a complementary thermos or hip-flask and climb up into the Land Rover for the tour of our vast estate.

 

 When I see the garden in full swing I still find hard to believe that nothing is in the soil everything is in pots and in a tiny space to boot. 

There is just enough time before you head for the VIP Hospitality suite for you to have a sneaky preview of the Delargo Fuchsia fest. This month Donny has selected; Fuchsia 'Molesworth'

 That's it then me dears till next time

 It's
