My apologies folks for the lack of labels for these images from the Vicarage Gardens ... time is at a premium at the moment and it certainly was as I dashed around the gardens capturing these images.  I will TRY to improve for future postings.  :D

The final batch from the Vicarage Gardens at Carrington, Manchester.  I apologise once again for the lack of labels, but I hope some of you can enjoy the images for their own sake?

Cliff, I always enjoy your pictures, with or without names  :D 8)
Now I have to use my brains to remember some names  ;D ;D ;D
It does not really matter which name is on such a beautiful plant of the last Geranium, because there are rather many lookalikes

Oh Cliff, stunning pics.  That golden variegated grass, the blue iris (spuria variety?) and the absolute clarity of that glorious thistle flower.  Breathtaking!!!  :o

Absolutely, Paul, I totally agree and was very taken by the thistle - especially as I have just come back from Scotland - but the foliage and tree shots are really gorgeous, Cliff, and it's good practice to remember or fine the names.....an interactive experience, thanks!  8)

2 weeks ago we visited the garden of Klaus Patzner in Bavaria,situated beside a very busy street.
The elevation is about 700 m above sea level with reliable snow cover in winter.Situated in full sun
he is able to cultivate many 'goodies',even Paeonia cambessedesii since many years.
Degenia velebitica sowed itself in the rainshade of the neighboured house and flowered profusely. An enormous Rhodothamnus chamaecistus was another surprise for us rockgardeners.
This floral paradise was founded about 30 years ago.

Jim Jermyn has "tweeted" this photo from the garden :"Bold use of rocks in the Patzner alpine garden, Bavaria" he says.....



Jim, who is heavily involved with Gardeneing Scotland, is also tweeting that he thinks that "alpines could be "Big Winners" at GS this year".....  which seems pretty  likely, given how often alpine and rock garden plants have been featured in the winning exhibits from SRGC and Kevock  and how popular these plants are  !!!!
