Spring Garden Foliage

Every year I've remembered to take photographs of Middle Garden in springtime. Enjoy the Magnolia Stellata in bloom, and the cheery yellow daffodils.

The flax to the left in the picture is a large weeping hybrid called Tricolor.

In the early days there used to be space in Middle Border for the spring bulbs to show off, as this photograph from the Archives shows. The dull orange spikey plant behind the unfurling tulips is the New Zealand native called Libertia.

The clumps and groups of spring daffodils are still here, but I am forever slicing into them with my digger when weeding. The tulips are lost.
