The studio in summer



A flashback to last July, and my new border alongside the studio. The climbing rose, lovely but blowsy Madame Gregoire Staechlin, has now been replaced with a Pineapple broom, Cytisus Battandieri, on the advice of a friend of a very knowledgeable gardener friend. She was right. Pink flowers against pink brick is not a successful combination. The geranium 'Wargrave Pink' will have to go too. I am planning to plant a Clematis Armandii, which has white flowers in late winter and is evergreen, behind the broom.
