Rachel's Journal

Reminds me of clotted cream :-) 

ooh what a beauty, must look out for that one, you definately got a brilliant camera can see such detail in the photos

Rachel,

I see you wrote: "The best antidote to this recession is gardening." I agree fully.

Your photos are brilliant, both the plants and the photography.

I particularly liked the Stipa elegantissima (it lives up to its name) and the Stachys.

Among the many worries in my life is the non-flowering of Schizostylis in my garden, but Helleborus orientalis is in flower.

One of my sons gave me as a Christmas present a subscription to The Irish Garden, so I am looking forward to your articles.

Definitely a 'must have' plant. Lots of primulas and primroses flowering their socks off here too. Great photo, Rachel.

Very nice!

My goodness, Mon. I think your cream has gone off!

Thanks, Michelle, Jacinta & Liga.

Noel, I hope you will get much enjoyment from your monthly magazine. I saw your journal about non-flowering kaffir lilies but have no solution. Mine are all planted in full sun, as are most things in my garden.

Rachel this has been added on to my wish list it is a beauty and I love the colour -  I am not mad about yellow in general but this particularly yellow is lovely

What a ray of sunshine to have in the garden
