The Playground Garden

I love the fact that on a forum like this you can chat about gardening...!

I thought I'd create my own space in The Playground for a little garden where we can share our favourite plants, tips and gardening exploits.

What is your favourite plant?

Beautiful hellebores! I love them for winter colour.

My favourite is probably a climbing rose, wonderful colour and beautiful scent

What a lovely flower!

I wish I had pictures of my Bleeding Heart bushes and my Lilac bushes! I'm sure the new owners are enjoying them as much as I did, they were beautiful!

Did you take pictures of them while you were there?

Are you a person that likes mucking about in your garden? Do you like visiting big houses and gardens?

I look around the big gardens wondering if the plants would look great in my garden! Usually to big!

I love visiting gardens - I'm a member of the RHS. I love getting ideas and especially if I can buy plants there.

When I was younger, my folks were members of the National Trust, so we went round a lot of houses and gardens. We had our notebooks out writing down all the plants we like.

That one is in the wild.
I'm finding photos of my garden. It's pretty spectacular.

This is in the garden of my hotel in Italy:

When I saw it I was immediately reminded of a strelitzia as Aussie showed above, although it's way less colourful and the whole plant must be more than 30ft tall.

Here are the flowers in situ:

This is so beautiful. We had nice flowers in Illinois before we moved to Flroida. Now we are back and only have a few in pots at this latest home.
We can't believe the owners had this place built in 1961 and have almost no flowers.

What a lovely garden. We miss the flowers in Florida, even in the woods and Everglades.
