I have no idea who and for two pins would remove them in the depths of night. I noticed yesterday that they've even cut back the natural growth around them (there are two) to focus on the incongruous pink lavatera surrounded by natural grasses. I like the flowers and 'in the right place' etc etc but, as you say Jane, it is a thug and should never have been planted by the side of a stream amongst native flora.

I would give it houseroom! I have no sweet-peas this year, yours are wonderful. If you pot hydrangeas in a different soil they revert to their original colour, I believe. Ericaceous I think?

My hydrangea is just coming out and it's a bit early to figure out if it's colour has changed but it doesn't look as blue as it was, I don't want it to be pink, I want it to be the beautiful blue it was when it arrived.greenrabbitdesignshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12562034074399686544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5266224907043302947.post-2031684404449315552014-06-30T02:55:47.158+01:002014-06-30T02:55:47.158+01:00Your garden is beautiful.

I thought at first it was because it was too warm, but I noticed on a walk with my youngest the other day a fence with masses of sweet peas that looked like they were growing wild. I may get brave and ask the owner if I can have a pod or two. Your lavender is lovely too, I was amazed ours survived the bitter winter we had.

I planted a perennial sweet pea last year and thought it died, but it's back, very tall, and has some buds on it. I hope it blooms! <br />I enjoy visiting you here.
