Summer in my Garden

The side border which backs onto the fence has very mixed plantings. There is one beautiful rhododendron in here, plus some rather squashed in roses and perennials. Dahlias grow here in late Summer, and Honesty in Spring.

Looking back along this side border in early Summer you'll see the yellow euphorbia filling up the gaps in the plantings. The photograph below was taken in the year 2000.

Many people consider this plant looks weedy and it can be a self-seeding nuisance, but it is cheerful, undemanding, and I like it best planted en masse.
