Sudden impulse, as a garden is an ephemeral thing, ideally———
This is “wild Edric” chosen as soil conditions are dreadful, he never fails to come up with the goods, delicious scent.
-this is “army nurse”, terribly upright and correct, do not be impressed by the names, rare for me to know them.

cyclamen hederifolium, leaves later, they clearly like harsh conditions as they flower like crazy, grow vigorously and self seed like there is no tomorrow, all from a packet of SIX seeds.
–bladder senna, if you need an indestructible shrub for harsh conditions, flowers all summer.
–
zoom in for the very large, free, garden ornament in the background.
–survives in very small area that is hot, dry, south facing.

2nd flush of flowers, will keep on till killed by frost, like the wasp–
one of several things I like about blueberries, just look at the colour, mind you, flavour does not compare with scottish blaeberries.
Canadian creeping dogwood, gets red berries as well.
Just look at how wildlife friendly my garden is!

Comes from South Africa, just where they are going to start fracking oil shales!!
Is it really clever to clash? Well perhaps as winter approaches—
fuschia again, this one is practically naturalised in west coast scotland, thanks to the Gulf Stream–
“welsh poppy” supposed to be a spring flower!!
new frond of Japanese fern, remarkably for time of year–
-for the birds! Goldfinches love the seeds–
-and hope for next year, if it survives the winter.
surprisingly, today there is lots more, but enough is as good as a feast
Thirst for experience.
