Awesome! Everything is coming to life here on your blog! Ahhhh the sun, the flowers, the trees! I just want to run naked through the forest unhindered and unapproached!

Gorgeous! I love "wild" plantings!

[this is good]

Oooh..I love that pink and red riot..would love to crawl under that bush and Live there.

LOL! Not sure you could do that "unapproached" ..... someone is sure to want to throw you down on the heather and ravish you!

It is a fabulous area of "wildness". Their herb garden is sort of wild too - though I don't seem to have taken photos of it - I think we were too busy squishing leaves and smelling the wonderful aromas (there was a sign saying we could!). They also have roses which I would describe as "rambling".

Wouldn't that be wonderful! The area is amazing - they must work very hard to make it look so natural ... no dead wood etc. I wonder if someone comes around and nips out the dead buds too because there weren't any (or not that I noticed anyway).

Hard work, but there's a job I wouldn't mind doing, with the sun and the flowers for company.

You would love the herb garden here. Like I said to Sandy above, I think I must have been too busy smelling leaves to actually photograph it. BTW - we had basil out of the garden yesterday!! And, my peppermint is really lush - just waiting for the lemonade or some other cold drink to garnish!

Oh, so wonderful. My poor basil is on its last legs, and I don't plan to buy any more herbs until we can move to a more sunny place..its awful to see plants languish.
