You've captured the essence of the way I felt perfectly :)<br /><br />Petoskystone - I showed this picture to some friends I bumped into later on that day. It was enough to persuade them to go on a visit the next day<br /><br />Lorene - yes, totally lucky. We had to dodge some showers, but they left with the kind of sunshiny dampness which made the light totally magical<br /><br />Janet - sometimes it's best not to think and just be. This was one of those times<br /><br />Robert - I bumped into one of the garden's creators (David Wheeler)at Chelsea on Monday. He told me (and Victoria) that they have Anemone blanda there doing something v similar (though much lower down) earlier in the spring and that the seedheads of the Iris also look v good later on in the year<br /><br />Aund Debbi - good to see you :)VPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732971362066784175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-66864454889266547812011-05-21T17:43:09.578+01:002011-05-21T17:43:09.578+01:00NiceNiceAunt Debbi/kurts momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05663049154538571378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-6105057803195228672011-05-21T15:39:12.808+01:002011-05-21T15:39:12.808+01:00Think the the song was Ive got the music in me by ...Think the the song was Ive got the music in me by Kiki D!<br />Lovely post.<br />Briefly beautiful is fab - the intensity makes up for the rest of the year.<br />In large gardens not everything has to be in flower all the time and you can have areas you visit once a year. Using snowdrops and alliums would I think give you a long season. Seem to remember they use somnething else to extend the season. But I forget what!<br />Thanks for the post.<br />Best<br />RRobert Webberhttp://www.hegartywebberpartnership.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-76943561122698841032011-05-21T13:10:39.650+01:002011-05-21T13:10:39.650+01:00I think the sight of all those irises would make m...I think the sight of all those irises would make me dance too! Or want to... Just your photo made me grin like a mad woman. And yes, OK, there is a voice in my head saying "but what on earth does it look like when they have all died back?", but that's not really the point - at least, not when it is somebody else's garden ;-) <br /><br />PS Word verification is "swetti", so maybe I have been dancing...Janet/Plantaliscioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15605580157193047780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-85628127650696141282011-05-20T16:00:30.630+01:002011-05-20T16:00:30.630+01:00fabulous that you lucked upon that moment in the y...fabulous that you lucked upon that moment in the year with the irises in all their full-bloom, impractical glory!

I don't set out to look at them - though I notice some when I pass. I don't go to shows and I think I've only ever been to one garden where you have to pay to go in. (Though I have been to Kew a few times.) Mostly, I'm peering at my own garden on a sort of micro-level.<br /><br />But this? This is wonderful. I wish you hadn't enthused about it so much. I hadn't expected that to be your text when the picture came up because you are usually more reserved. I was about to go overboard with enthusiasm but now all I can say is I can imagine a bit of how you felt.<br /><br />But why didn't you sing and dance when you were there? I suppose for the same reason I wouldn't have run up and down the avenues with my arms wide open, pretending I am an aeroplane - but that is what I would have wanted to do.<br /><br />EstherEsther Montgomeryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05412078991551799972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-14295017400654050312011-05-20T11:04:46.407+01:002011-05-20T11:04:46.407+01:00Ah, that garden really sang out to you, didn't...Ah, that garden really sang out to you, didn't it?
