Had to rescue some of my fragile babies. Wild winds knocking seven bells out of my wee city garden. There's going to be casualties. 🤨

Lovely natural combination. Tiny spurge and spiky cornflower. Delicious colour and texture. The sharp eyed will spot the foliage of a couple of pernicious weeds. If you can spot them can you name them? And come and help remove them.😆

#throwbackthursday Malvern Spring Show 2008.
I cut my show garden teeth as part of the first group of new designers taking part in the RHS Chris Beardshaw scholarship. I have never worked so intensely since or before. I learned a lot, not least of which was Drystone walling from true masters of their craft and met fabulous and inspiring people. It's sad that this and all other garden shows have been cancelled. So much preparation goes ahead of them. My very best wishes to all involved. I look forward to seeing how these shows come back stronger having learned from our experiences of the changes brought on by Covid 19 it's effect on humans, wildlife and the natural environment.
♥️🧡💛💚💙💜

Are these not just outrageous? No idea what variety, but couldn't resist them when they jumped into my shopping trolley. I can understand why tulips where traded once like diamonds. I get way more joy from them. 🌷
