Love the lilies and geraniums together! What a great way to tuck in some annuals and provide a stunning contrast of color. The petunias and lupine combo are beautiful as well.
Everything looks so neat, and perfectly well behaved. Much better then the tree I bet.
Thanks so much for dropping by, and leaving such a nice comment. And thanks for the fave.

How beautiful your garden looks, today. I especially like the overview of your back gardens and would love to stroll around them. Your David Austins are gorgeous! I just planted my first, a Lichfield Angel, and I hope it does as well as yours. Thank you for the tour. Pam
What a great birds eye view of your garden. Love that Falstaff rose.
such a delightful garden and some of my favourite plants…
I haven’t seen the White Dome hydrangea before. I really like it and the tiny lilies. You have some great foliage combos too with the hostas and heucheras.
Thank you, Annlees! I have to say that many of the combos happen by accident. 🙂
