Nicotiana and Japanese Iris

There are always lots of annual Nicotiana flowers in the Apple Tree Garden border - they have all self-sown from my original plantings, which I grew from seed. My favourites are the pale lime green variety.

I rely on self-seeders like Nicotiana to help fill garden spaces. They are easy to pull out if they get too annoying.

Regrettably the clumps of green Japanese Irises were flattened in a winter snow storm, never recovering. In a fit of garden spring-cleaning I pulled them all out!
