Rowallane Garden - Birds and Flowers

I know yesterday you enjoyed walking around the beautiful garden at Rowallane with me so today I am about to take you into the woods and then to the Rock Garden.  There were quite a lot of small birds  like Tit and Finch that were all very busy flitting about feeding.  To enjoy this post, grab your cuppa, sit comfortable, put it onto slide mode, sit back and enjoy.

Galanthus - Snowdrops

In the dark days of winter, 

the scented flowers of Hamamelis mollis (Witch Hazel) are utterly beguiling.

One of the gardeners digging out Bluebells as 

they should not be in the Rock garden.

Pieris - 'Best form'

                                                   Semperivivum

It was lovely seeing the combination of different conifers with Heather, Succulents, Pieris and many other plants. 

Here is a little taste of the Rhododendrons

 and I will show you ever more tomorrow.

Fascicularia bicolour

Coal Tit

Pseudowintera colorata

Buds bursting to bloom

Goorse

I think this Rhodochiton atrosanguineus was last years but I was amazed to see it still blooming. 

 I think the wall must be south facing.

I thought this Sedum spectlabile looked like a brides bouquet, all wired together.

There was a lovely selection of different Hellebore's

Hypericum 'Rowallane'

Helleborus orientalis ‘Harvington shades of the night’

Varigated Iris

Mr Robin keeping a good eye on me.

This tall hedge was beautifully sculpted into a 
Yew hedge screen for this water pump

Helleborus orientalis

Helleborus argutifolius

 

Chaenomeles pink lady - Quince

As I returned to the office area, there was a lovely Quince flowering.  It was on the same stable wall as the Clematis

Now it did my heart good to see this Quince blooming especially 

when the weather has been so atrocious.

I hope you enjoyed looking at this part of the garden and tomorrow I will show you another area with more birds and a short video.

Thank you for visiting and also thanks to those who left comments on any of my blogs.
