ieuneBecause I did promise ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
amamama that I would. Here are four plants currently flowering in the garden.
It's taken me some time (2 years!) to identify this. I'm pretty sure it's Magnolia liliflora Nigra, going off books and the internet trawling. The top note of the fragrance is citrusy; I have yet to christen other notes ;) but it's very pleasant.
My tree paeony. I have no idea what this one is, only that it definitely isn't what Kelways sold it to me as! (Kelways is a very famous paeony nursery in Somerset. In the flowering season, they allow you to walk through the fields where they grow; flowering paeonies as far as the eye can see...) When fully open the flower is larger than a dinner plate.
Camassia bulbs. They need to go in the ground, really.
And now for something completely different... Bonsai! This is one flowering branch on the chaenomeles to show the form of the flower. So very Zen... ;)
And that's all for today! À la préchaine!
