Kella said...: Lovely flowers.

I suppose they are growing the lemon grass as an annual, since its not frost hardy.; 20 July 2009 at 15:02

Maureen said...: Thanks once again for all your comments. I am feeling better, but still not 100% and lacking in my usual energy. My son has it now, so that's all of us apart from my husband (so far).; 20 July 2009 at 17:39
Scattered Gardener said...: Hello Maureen, looks as if your grandson enjoyed his trip to Wisley! Last time we went my youngest (then 13) took his video camera into the shrubberies to make a film with friends, they keep enjoying the gardens in their own way for years to come.
Thanks for sharing your lovely photos, we must visit again this summer, get some inspiration and plants to excite my autumn borders.; 21 July 2009 at 16:41
