Because we have a season ticket we are able to visit
Great Dixter much more frequently
and can observe the modulations in their planting plan
as the summer progresses.
One plant in particular caught our eye.
It could hardly fail to for it was so massive -
a veritable forest of Inula Magnifica,
with flowers like raffia fringed yellow sunhats
covered in bees and Peacock butterflies.
Oh, that's a garden I would love to see some day.
ReplyDeleteYour description of raffia petals is perfect, and that butterfly is quite a beauty.
Late summer does have its charms.

Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI too just posted bees.. love them.

ReplyDeleteI should love to see Great Dixter, you are lucky.
ReplyDeleteThank you for posting Eddie, he does make me laugh so!
What a very 1950s flower ...it's like those hats Bathing Beauties wore with their two-piece swimsuits !
ReplyDeleteExactly like those. And nearly as big.
