Bit's of the garden!

Here is the 'little corner' by the gateway. I have my rosemary and sage in this corner and a climbing jasmine against the wall. The heather and lavender is going well now too. The large tree trunk was found in the woods on the mountain and is chestnut.
And here is one of the hydrangeas....didn't think it would survive as the builders cut it right down to the roots to put their crane there for the building work. But now it has regrown, for some reason there are a few branches with pink flowers and the rest are all blue. There are two other large hydrangeas and their blue too!
Here you can see some of the orange 'something or other' lilies... they are beatifull too, and as you can see they grow in abundance.
And finally the last photo is of the lemon tree and 'non hardy' hibiscus that are on the terrace. Nine little lemons so far - so who's for a nice G & T with 'ice and a slice'???? Posted by Picasa

We just bought mom a blue one because that's here favorite--but it's turning lilac!! :-(

My aunt's next door is still blue though! Must be a different type.
Poor mom--we have to try again next year!
