One of King Charles’s crowning glories must surely be the gardens that he’s lovingly nurtured from nothing at Highgrove, his Gloucestershire private realm, over the past 40 or so years. And most enchanting of all, certainly as spring segues into summer, is the walled kitchen garden, where His Majesty’s singular vision continues to bear fruit – and other produce besides – quite beautifully

The stunning views over the South Downs inspired the naturalistic and sustainable planting design of this hillside garden

Corydalis elata Starting off with a BANG! A bright blue mass of corydalis greeted us when we arrived at Branklyn, one of the finest gardens of the Scottish Trust. This was a private garden featuring many rare alpines and woodland plants first created by Dorothy and John Renton (you can read much more about it on this and many other websites). It has had a succession of horticulturists who have continued to develop this garden since the Rentons passed it on to the Trust: the current director, Steve McNamara, is shown below. The shoes he's wearing may not appear to be that big, but I suspect anyone who follows him will feel as though they're boats! Steve McNamara, director of Branklyn garden I have visited many public gardens--hundreds come to think of it!--but rarely has the weather and the season been so cooperative. I will inflict a hundred or more pictures on you from this garden (believe it or not, I have many more): this is a "point and shoot" garden where it's almost impossible not to get something lovely in the frame. I could blather on about almost any of the pictures, but I think they really speak for themselves. The captions provide a bit of a chorus: I'm anxious to get this into cyberspace now that winter still rules rather cruelly in the Northern Hemisphere (at least in America) where it should be hinting more of spring. Celmisia sp. Rosa moyesii 'Geranium' Closeup of Rosa moyesii 'Geranium' Meconopsis sp. and Primula bulleyana Richea scoparia--a pale form--from Tasmania Typical lush border with Allium in background. Closer view of Onions (several sorts) and mossy trough Geranium palmatum: surprisingly hardy here Calanthe 'Kozy grex' Calanthe 'Kozy grex' closer up a mat forming broom with ubiquitous Dactylorhiza in front View of the rock garden from above Another view of the rock garden Dactylorhiza everywhere More orchids with golden ivy Another celmisia! Corydalis flexuosa--used as an edging! @ Dactylorhizas in the troughs (probably not planted there!) A crazy Acanthocalyx--rarely seen in cultivation, alongside common pinks Iris chrysographes in the middle Cardiocrinum giganteum v. glehnii A wonderful red flowered Rodgersia Trollius chinensis Aconitum lycoctonum Lilium MacKliniae Stellera chamaejasme Mongolian form Stellera chamaejasme Southern Chinese form The rock garden from below Do I need a caption? Rhodiola fastigiata More beauty! And MORE beauty! and MORE Celmisia Dare I say, the pond? MORE Meconopsis, MORE Dactylorhiza... Wish I could come back in a few days to see this lily--oh yes, more mecs! More Cardiocrinum giganteum (Chinese forms) and more mecs.. A white Meconopsis I love steps like this. Rhodiola rosa (front) and Bulbinella hookeri (back) Of scenes like this are dreams made of: Mecs and Maples...aaah! Notholirion macrophyllum, not a common plant in gardens. More views of mecs and maples--just love this spot! Can you tell I've had a hard time tearing myself away? Aconitum lycoctonum My hostess, Carole Bainbridge, and Steve in the background Closer view of Notholirion macrophyllum Morina longifolia Morina longifolia Helianthemum cv. in the foreground--and another lovely vale Morina longifolia Morina longifolia even closer up: love this plant! Silver Saxifrages very happy And yet MORE Celmisias! Can one ever tire of blue poppies? Yes, more! And MORE Mere columbines and primulas... A choice lily--failed to note the species (possibly L. jankae?) Wonderful medley of Candelabra primulas Lilium cf. albanicum Closer view Enchanted path Great combo of hosta, poppy and dark Cimicifuga (refuse to call them Actaea) behind. A wonderful rose red Jurinea...or perhaps Centaurea...must have some thistles in Scotland! Meconopsis x sarsonsii says the label A very strange lavender pink Mec with hot orange red primulas: only in Branklyn! A bold Chinese Sibiricae: clarkei perhaps? or blue chrysographes? A Nomocharis Cornus canadensis and evergreen azalea make a great comb Clintonia andrewsiana More medleys with Mecs! Calanthe tricarinata A spectacular clump of Marhan hybrid lilies--combined so well with ferns and mecs. This is sublime gardening! A wonderful albino Dactylorhiza Remarkable color variation in this clump The path goes on and on, edged with no end of woodland gems Add caption Cardiocrinums are irresistible even in leaf More Balkan/Caucasian lilies... Imagine this pale yellow Mec in a week! Prunus serrula on the left, a bold contrast to the path and greenery Who ever thinks of Mecs with pale pink flowers? One of the large paniculate Mecs--a wonderful pale yellow one Another enchanted path with paler blue poppies and rhodies...aaaaaaah.... Here the Dactylorhiza make a great foil for the Morina in the upper left. Another wonderful combination of elements in a scree-like meadow Chinese irid of the Sibirica section (40 chromosome)--quite small however. Did I say I love blue poppies? But then again, who doesn't? The juxtaposition of cherry petals and prostrate Colchicum looks deliberate. Red fallen rhododendron flowers make great contrast to blue poppies The sort of complex harmony one yearns for in a rock garden meadow Need I say anything? Dactylorhiza coming out of a cushion of Bolax gummifera Moraea huttonii almost identical to what we grow in Denver Moraea huttonii from further away
