Below - for comparison - this was what we came home to in 2017:

Did you know....

Anthophilous derives from the Greek word anthos, which means “flower” and as an adjective refers to “feeding upon or living among flowers”. Thus, a lover of flowers is called an Anthophile.

To repeat myself, I wander ‘the grounds’ several times a day exclaiming at the vision of particular plants and congratulating vegetables on their progress! The problem is as soon as I plant it in the ground I always forget what they are! I do label them and make notes but nothing sticks!

It is looking particularly fabulous at the moment –and here are a few images of all my hard work!

Wow Rosie....you’re definitely doing something right. Your lupins are amazing compared to mine. I think mine are hemmed in and over shadowed by lots of other plants... I must be an Anthophile too.... can’t get enough in my garden and always want more! Think I’ll be digging bigger borders soon xxx

Unbelievable Rosie! I can’t believe the difference one month makes. When we came to visit, buds were ready to burst and wow haven’t they just done that.
