There is the Delphinium collection at Temple Newsam and it was beautiful so I thought I would show you a few pics and also some of the border displays. Hope you like them.
The Delphinium borders are on both sides of the paths and were beautiful. I guess with the blue flowery dress I could have blended in quite well
This is the long path up to the rose gardens and further along to the Delphinium border.
The next two pictures are in the walled rose garden. The flowers are bordering the whole walled gardens and lead up to the top where there is a hothouse where they have bright tropical flowers.
I noticed that I have quite a few of these plants in my garden so I was quite pleased (not that I can remember any of their names now though ) I think if it is good enough for Temple Newsam it's good enough for me
Temple Newsam is only a matter of minutes away from me and has a Stately home , Rare Breeds farm, open air amphitheatre where they put on free plays - mainly Shakespeare, ponds, woodland and open fields and hold pop and opera concerts and last weekend had the 'race for life'. Sometimes we don't appreciate what is on our doorstep. It was lovely to see it all.
