The blue and violet garden
Is more about shape than color. Some of the most dramatic plants in my garden are in this bed.
It's also the wildest and most random part of my garden.
The yellow garden
In Summer:
Late Spring:
The yellow garden is much more an all year round garden. I did put in some more grasses this spring because I want it to look slightly more delicate.
Now that the wild fennel is in full blossom it looks great but this plant is biannual and I don't have any to blossom next year.
The pink garden
This is almost 2 m high by the way
The pink garden only shows his real potential in summer. But he's never been more beautiful than this year I think. Maybe you remember last year I picked some flowers from the garden to take home and they looked so nice together that I decided redesign the pink garden a bit - according to that bouquet.
I'm quite astonished on how close I came in one year only. Most importantly I divided and replanted al the pinks echinachas this helped a lot to bring the whole bed together. My budget for new plants was very tight this year since we wanna go travel and the bed could use more chocolate flowers and more sanguisorbias which I so far did not succeed to propagate. But the real star in this garden is this long haired sanguisorbia which I got "smuggled" into switzerland from london. I certainly need more of this, it goes particularly well with the bergamotte we brought back from Irland ( first picture ).
Earlyer summer :
Blood drops
I don't even know what they are really called - we call them blood drops. I haven't seen one for ages. I actually though they are extinct in Switzerland.
When I was a kid we used to go camping at the "valle maggia" in Tessin. There we would sometimes see them. They were our favorites and my childhood love always brought me these when he found one - still a very special thing to me.
I guess you can imagine how excited I was when I discovered this one in my garden!
