Flax & Berberis Plantings

This photo was taken in late spring, before I ripped out all the forget-me-nots. The red flax sits proudly at the corner of this part of the border, with a seedling berberis behind.

 Small red flaxes are a repeating motif in the garden symphony

There is a patch of yellow polyanthus back near the fence, and some variegated Apple Mint by the stone edge. The lovely yellow and white poached egg annuals self-seed in here and flower in Spring.

Below is a more recent picture taken in the summer of 2003. The Berberis has got bigger and bossier, and the small red flax has got smaller and more squashed in - of course this results from the gardener not pruning her shrubs properly!

 The top flax is a big bronze hybrid.

The roses on the fence are climbing white Iceberg, Phyllis Bide and Graham Thomas. And so much for the seedling Berberis - you can see the poor little flax struggling underneath!
