| a David Austin rose- have lost the names of this & the next. One may be Sweet Juilette, & the other Heritage? Both smell gorgeous |
There are many lovely gardens you can visit in the southeast of Ireland, & Trail Kilkenny is in the process putting together a garden trail. One of my favorite smaller gardens near to us is Coolaught in Co. Wexford- they've a great little garden centre full of plants for plantaholics who are looking for something different. They are a friendly family business on a family farm- go visit them!
Lovely pics as usual. Are'nt flowers just amazing if we spot and ponder on them!
