| This is an alstroemeria Bomarea edulis |
First sunny day in months so we decided to garden visit along the north coast. We got to Bodnant in time for lunch and spent the next 3 hours inspecting their hebaceous plantings. The new hot border was still looking good with things like Lobelia cardinalis stopping you in your tracks. The Actotis Flame in the new parterre was still looking great. Each quarter is planted with the Chinese Malus transitoria. it is a neat little tree with trilobed leaves, white flowers and autumn berries and yellow leaves.

One border had Aster frickartii Monch with Sedum (reddish foliage) and Allium chistopheri - must get Monch. See pix for other unusual stuff.
The Cedar terrace (below) was amazing, as ever, even with bank holiday visitors. There were fewer of these than we had expected, maybe due to the storm yesterday which blew limbs off the trees and closed the gardens.
