Red Flax and Fern

What a beautiful colour combination this is - the red of the small weeping flax, and the clear mid-green of the water-side fern. These two foliage plants sit together at the beginning of the path through Middle Garden.

Red and Green

The path gets quite slippery when flax leaves fall over it - as usual I have planted things far too close for comfort.

The ferns have always been here by the water - there are many large clumps of them on the bank of the water race.
