Eremurus … the Foxtail lily
I love this plant!It stands proud within the bed by the pond. It attracts a wide variety of pollinators. You can see the low aeroplane humming “Rose Chafer” in pic 2. My intention is to grow another 5 or 6 to create a more impactful clump.
Flax
At times a dark heart bleeding out in perfect symmetry. At times a static ship’s propellor threatening to whirr into action. The simple, crisp, scarlet bloom makes a bold and beautiful statement that is difficult to ignore. Indeed, why would one choose to ignore such beauty. It draws ones attention, requiring you to pause, to consider, and most probably, to smile.
Foxglove (Digitalis)
“There they are at the edge of the lakeside, standing to attention, making a splash — no blushing violets these, and not in ones or twos but hundreds, proud regiments marching in the summer, with clash of cymbals and rolling drums. Here comes June. Glorious, colourful June.”
Derek Jarman (Human Nature)
