Cette ravissante forme rose de la Grande Astrance est l'une des plus anciennes vivaces de cottage. En fleurs tout l'été, parée de fleurs historiées comme des pièces de joaillerie et d'un délicat rose anglais, elle brillera tout l'été à mi-ombre. Sa grâce toute simple et son caractère accommodant s'allient à la robustesse des plantes sauvages. Bonne fleur pour les bouquets secs ou frais.

Le stand du rosiériste David Austin au Hampton Court Palace Flower Show est toujours une grande découverte avec une profusion de roses impressionnante. Parmi toutes celles qui étaient présentées lors de la dernière édition au début du mois de juillet, Lady Emma Hamilton se faisait remarquer à la fois par le coloris inhabituel de ses fleurs et de son jeune feuillage ainsi que par son parfum exceptionnel.

" To sit in the shade on a fine day and look across to the verdure is the most perfect refreshment." Jane Austen For a change of pace, I thought that I would show you two gardens a world away from the garden I last profiled. Though it seems to hail from a bygone era, this ivy covered house in the heart of Toronto actually dates from the late 1930's. A grand set of stone steps lead down to a long, narrow terrace, and at either end of the terrace a further set of stairs drop down to a sunken garden. The steps at one end of the long, narrow terrace. An eagle watches over the sunken garden. Located near the centre of the city, the garden's high walls just barely keep out the bustle of traffic on Avenue Road and the somewhat disconcerting noises of the car park next door. In sharp contrast to its urban surroundings, the sunken garden feels magically leafy and green. Though it isn't exactly my cup of tea, I think that the introduction of a piece of contemporary art (the twiggy bronze in the foreground) into such a traditional setting makes the space feel more edgy and current. I thought that this Bottlebrush Buckeye had the most marvellous foliage. Most of us will never be able to afford house or a garden like this, but the good news is, creating a quiet refuge of one's own is something that calls more for imagination than it does for money. This is the view from the cobblestone driveway. The next garden seems to have stepped from the pages of a novel by Jane Austen. A short stroll across an impeccable lawn brings us to the wrought iron gate at the entrance to a large, walled garden. Opposite the main house, is the elegant entrance to a guest house. The flowering vine is a climbing hydrangea. Just inside the gate of the walled garden. For some reason this garden puts me in mind of a summer party. I can imagine ripe strawberries and champagne as part of an elegant, but casual afternoon tea or perhaps a more grand affair with a big tent erected on the lawn, tables laid with crisp, white linen and fresh flowers, women in flirty summer dresses and men in light summer suits. The falls of these irises look like rich, purple velvet. Behind the irises are the tall, blue spikes of a Salvia and the soft, pink petals of a peony. Aren't these deep purple lupins stunning? As in the first garden we visited, a step of stairs lead from the terrace down to a sunken garden. A wide view of the sunken garden. There is something so restrained about this carefully clipped and manicured garden that it seems to provoke an opposite, slightly-out-of-control emotional response. Perhaps I have read to many Jane Austen novels or watched too many episodes of Downton Abbey, because I can easily envision the slightly inebriated guests at my imagined summer party might begin to feel a bit giddy or perhaps even a bit reckless as the party extends into the twilight hours of early evening. Here in the garden is the perfect backdrop for a stolen kiss or the less-than-proper rendezvous of two star-crossed lovers. Have a wonderful weekend!
Ce tableau de l'artiste Véronique Masurel, évoque un jardin et donne une impression de foisonnement végétal : arbres, fleurs, tiges, herbes… En laissant une grande part à l’inattendu et à l’improvisation, et dans une même écriture que dans son décor « Les vagabondes », l'artiste nous propose sa vision d’un jardin dans la lumière de l’été.

That is— if one has the land to accommodate all of that. Alas, I am in an apartment. And before that, I lived in a Townhouse. We had […]

Ashridge Park, Hertfordshire, UK For a couple of weeks in May in each year, many of the woods in the UK are carpeted with English Bluebells. The ancient woodlands on the Ashridge Estate, managed by the UK’s National Trust, are home to one of the finest examples of massed flowering bluebells that are an icon of Spring in England. Here, the English landscape is transformed into a sea of blue – almost as far as the eye can see. For only a few days, the sapphire of the bluebells is also contrasted with the emerald green colors from the newly emerging foliage of the beech trees in the spring landscape – a natural gem from Mother Nature. Soon the foliage is thick enough to obscure the light and the blue flowers will be gone for another year. Location: Ashridge Forest visitors centre is located at Moneybury Hill, Ringshall, Berkhamsted, Herts, HP4 1LT, England. UK Map references: OSGB36 Grid ref: SP9787512526, SP978125, Map Tile Ref: SP91SE44. Some of the best displays of bluebells are located in Dockey Wood, Ashridge (see geotags attached to these photos for precise location).
