No matter what they attempt it seem to turn out extraordinary. I can give away that next we went to West Sussex. Wonderful area, too. I have made a resolution to learn more about plants and when I am on it to learn their names, too. I just can't take it anymore to know only so little...<br /><br />Jana, interesting opinion about red leaved plants. I am not aware that they are used much in the USA, but I just might not have noticed it. Italy is already on my wish list for another dream vacation!<br /><br />Christinaorganicgardendreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11122516730008378516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5286710136867815403.post-71051194744749287232011-06-16T03:06:27.035-07:002011-06-16T03:06:27.035-07:00As for red leaved plants I would like also to say ...As for red leaved plants I would like also to say that it is good to use them carefully as I find them rather overused in our Central European gardens and think that if someone doesn t know how to create a good border, uses some red leaved plant. I find using plants in various green hues and textures more challenging and natural, but it is just my opinion. <br />England is being also a first station for garden lovers, well promoted and with special climate, which doesn t have to be so good for people, bur rather for plants. For climate you come from I would recommend North Italy, a secret gem regarding gardens.Janahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16683487516921314195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5286710136867815403.post-64993908420767434772011-06-15T21:07:09.080-07:002011-06-15T21:07:09.080-07:00Christina, the English are so great at beautiful f...Christina, the English are so great at beautiful formal gardens.

I agree with ...Darla, thanks for leaving a comment! I agree with you the color combinations are very unique and unusual, at least in comparison to what I have seen in my garden live so far. In the meantime I really have the impression that the British gardeners are masters in combining colors, but also textures of plants. It is so exciting to see all these striking vignettes of plants every day. <br /><br />Dani, thanks, by now my husband and I have an English Afternoon Tea almost every day. It is so good!<br /><br />Sandra, it makes me really happy that I am able to go on this trip with my husband but also that I can share my impressions on my blog with you and other interested garden and plant lovers. I am glad that you like my post. <br /><br />Jana, thanks for chiming in with names of some of the plants that I showed in this post. I am a little bit embarrassed how many plant names I don't know... Yes, I am enjoying this trip to the max!<br /><br />Christinaorganicgardendreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11122516730008378516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5286710136867815403.post-58244517445149692422011-06-15T11:05:31.224-07:002011-06-15T11:05:31.224-07:00Hi Christina, you are surely enjoying your trip an...Hi Christina, you are surely enjoying your trip and as I ve read, someone already answered what is that white flowering shrub you have liked so much. For example from others, the "fragile flowering plant" from this post is Filipendula and the "hot orange flowering plant" is Lychnis.Janahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16683487516921314195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5286710136867815403.post-88981390595288370852011-06-15T08:32:32.371-07:002011-06-15T08:32:32.371-07:00Oh,Christina!

I can imagine that they have been also very beautiful in October, even though there was not so much in bloom. I am so fascinated by the mature trees in the parks. They are so majestic and, of course, that is the case year round. <br /><br />Christinaorganicgardendreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11122516730008378516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5286710136867815403.post-3402727353974133682011-06-14T15:20:19.601-07:002011-06-14T15:20:19.601-07:00Spacerowałam też po tym ogrodzie 2 lata temu, ale ...Spacerowałam też po tym ogrodzie 2 lata temu, ale w październiku i oczywiście nie było tyle kwiatów.
