Just back from a lovely visit to a friend who runs a garden up near King's Lynn. The Wicken is a privately owned garden (open sometimes for NGS and special events) and expensive shooting lodge. On a sunny day in May it is simply beautiful.

| Rose arch flanked by two Pyrus salicifolia |

How's this for a lairy combination?
Dark purple tulip and bright yellow Molinia (of some sort) |
 |
| Ed and Paul strolling along the (extremely effective) Ha-Ha. |

Hosta 'Praying Hands' in the newly planted stumpery.
A tiny, unusual Hosta with narrow, tightly folded leaves resemble hands folded in prayer |

A glimpse of the startling yellow Oilseed in an adjoining field.
Damn I love this time of year. |
