This was the first time I came across a Scillia 'Peruviana' it is absolutely stunning. There are many of them dotted around the gravel area's of Abbey Dore, and its on my 'must have plants' list, unfortunately there were none available here.
I love Abbey Dore gardens and have been several times this year all ready. Its one of those gardens you can keep going back to, there is so much interest here. I love all the peonies in this walled garden, its remarkable to think that all this garden is looked after by an 80 year old. And new areas are still being developed, and I'm pleased to see she has a taste for rusty reinforcing steel too.
This view of the garden is taken from over the other side of the river, where we are having the carpark for the open gardens. I find it a good place to look at the garden as its not one I see very often so get to see it as other people do.
Another view of the garden that I'm not used to, this is from over the bottom wall, it gives me a good perspective and I find areas I've not noticed before, as when you're working in the garden you just get so used to things, you stop noticing problems, and these views highlight the good and the bad.
