It’s a very blustery day today, quite different to the calm of last weekend when I visited the gardens at Abbey Wood, Delamere. This is the pool garden. It’s so relaxing watching the koi move gracefully about in the still water.

Quince jelly is the obvious one, but it's a bit of a faff (not sure how that expression translates 😂)

It sounds like you've had more success with a tulip delivery than me. I have a confused clematis too.

In today's #SixOnSaturday... a 'Waterloo' climbing Rose, a Geranium, Salvia 'Icing Sugar,' a confused Clematis montana, a Japanese anemone and the autumnal foliage of a Hydrangea onemanandhisgardentrowel.wordpress.com/2025/10/04/s... 🌱
A collage of six photographs of flowers and foliage, comprising: a large cluster of small white roses resembling mini rosettes; two purple five-petalled Geranium flowers with white centres; three dark and light pink two-lipped petalled Salvia flowers; the profile of a black metal wren attached to the roof of a pale blue shed with a four-petalled Clematis flower with a furry yellow centre; two large white petalled Japanese anemone flowers with green centres surrounded by a yellow halo of stamens; green leaves with splashes of red.

A very interesting selection. The storm isn't too bad in nw England but I can see the tall trees opposite the house blowing around.

It's always a delight to visit Bluebell Cottage Gardens but also a little sad that yesterday was the last day of opening until spring 2026. Beautiful trees for sale in the nursery for the first time this year. Ginkgo and Crab Apples looking splendid.

Possibly the same as last year when I intended to make chutney, but left them for the birds 😂

I Know the feeling of having a mental block over shrub names. The calendula 'redcarlight' is super!
