My Garden

Welcome to my garden blog; we have lived in this house for 32 years and the garden was virtually bare when we moved in. I think we had 2 Queen Elizabeth roses and some Rhubarb!
The small front garden however had 9 huge clumps of orange Mombresia around the lawn's edge.
We garden on heavy clay which is challenging but over the years we've worked out what works and what doesn't.
The garden has been a playground for our three children over the years and we are not precious about it but we do know what we like.
I hope you enjoy following it through the year.

Orchid ~ August and new shoot and buds

Orchid


Indoor gardening here
This was a Mother's Day present from Kelly & the girls last year
I had flowers for 6 months and assumed it had burned itself out
I looked after it well but haven't repotted it yet
Then suddenly, over a few days this stem grew and the buds developed


Possibly 6 buds showing here


Amazing to think of the beauty that hides within


I can't wait for this to open and to see the flower unfurl
