Quote of the day:
“What wondrous life is this I lead!
Ripe apples drop about my head;
The luscious clusters of the vine
Upon my mouth do crush their wine;
The nectarine and curious peach
Into my hands themselves do reach;
Stumbling on melons, as I pass,
Ensnared with flowers, I fall on grass.”
~ Andrew Marvell

What a beautiful image, are they fragrant too?
Not as stong as bedders like ‘Blue Delft’, which I’ve used in the borders and make any excuse to pass, but they seem to last a lot longer.
Wow, how beautiful they look like this. Are you the lucky owner?
Sadly not. These are at the entrance to the pleasure grounds at Wimpole and they get more numerous with each passing year. I will be adding some to my meadow area though to see if they work any better than the camassias which are only lasting a year or two there.
They look positively happy to be with their friends. Lovely.
Thanks. They seem to shimmer in the sunlight don’t they?
