Beyond the large pergola covered in white clematis at the front
& the first strings of purple wisteria at the back, behind the last pink
blooms of the camellia, the broom is bursting into flame, a welcome splash of
colour before you get to the white sweet-scented lilac & the white hydrangea.
On the other side of the garden the copper hazel is moving from
the translucent pink of new leaves to the more red-black of the mature leaves.
At its foot the Solomon seal leaves are unfolding revealing the dangling creamy
white seals. So far they are avoiding attack from the saw flies & their
hungry caterpillars.
The garden moves on a pace.
