Very slightly cooler.

An early walk around the garden is often a reminder of long gone family members. This fuchsia came from an uncle’s garden – about 30 years ago.

The original bulbs of this montbretia were growing in my mother in law’s garden. Soon the colours will be stunning and Om sure you’ll see more in a day or so. She was lovely but died in the late ‘90s
We have other shared plants too – not all from relatives who have died.

This began life as a white flower in our son’s garden – 12 or so years ago – but has only ever flowered in pink here. The original plant still continues to flower in white in his garden. Fascinating.
