My first auricula flower of the spring, early and confused, but oh so beautiful. I moved it from the greenhouse to take pride of place on my auricula theatre among violas and early primulas. Can’t wait for the others… instagram.com/p/B8bC28MAilL/…

Happy New Year to all and here’s to a healthy, happy, peaceful and productive 2020. I take this opportunity to say thank you to you all and to everyone whose Instagram posts inspire, educate, uplift and occasionally… instagram.com/p/B6yPZgjgcYT/…

Beautiful light on a little verbena flowering in my greenhouse. It has been the most lovely day, almost like spring, and I’ve been gardening all day. I haven’t done a huge amount since September so it feels so good… instagram.com/p/B6tAJuvgg_-/…

This has been one of the best value plants in my garden this year. Cenolophium denudatum - flowers all summer long, with greeny-white umbels, and then dries to these dark, brown, extremely strong seed heads that I… instagram.com/p/B5f-il8g-y_/…

New post on my website - October Garden Diary. Which describes largely how I have completely ignored my garden over the past few weeks to let it slump into autumn somnolence. Beauty in decay - my excuse for laziness!… instagram.com/p/B4lE4I_AO40/…

Rain damaged but still beautiful #cosmos #flower #flowers #theflowergarden #inmygarden #plants #growingfromseed instagram.com/p/B4DE8TYgfNV/…

Early this morning on the divine Bodu Hithi island. I’ve been learning about coral ‘gardening’ and how the marine biologists are trying to regenerate the reefs by dividing and transplanting coral. Despite some coral… instagram.com/p/B3_9WH2gyzZ/…

No gardens as such on this island in #themaldives - yet the island itself is a wild garden with tangles of jungly foliage to get lost in. Don’t ask me to name any of the plants.... #exoticplants #jungleplants… instagram.com/p/B36JHAogI3F/…

Very sad to hear that Charles Jencks has died aged 80. He was a brilliant landscape designer and architectural historian and of course the founder, with his wife Maggie, of the Maggie’s Centres that can be found… instagram.com/p/B3oUUXzgg05/…

Some sunshine on another dull day: sunflower Magic Roundabout, slightly soggy but holding its own #inmygarden #theflowergarden #plants #flowers #sunflower #plantportrait #growingcutflowers #cutflowers #cutflowergarden instagram.com/p/B3l7DRaAvW-/…

Dahlia Preference with Hebe salicifolia this morning in my garden. This hebe is such a great plant. I was given a cutting that I brought back from France a few years ago and now I have multiple plants and grow more… instagram.com/p/B3c7soogZPy/…

Pots of violas in my auricula theatre - the auriculas have gone into the greenhouse for winter. Buy my plant shelves at budtoseed.co.uk, link in bio. #plantshelves #gardenaccessories #displayyourplants #auriculas instagram.com/p/B3bp_Glnj5-/…

So worth planting Phlomis russeliana for its seed heads. #inmygarden #gardensofinstagram #gardening #gardens #planting #perennials #seedheads #autumn #autumnplanting #plantingdesign #theflowergarden instagram.com/p/B3bpTH5HwTP/…

September Garden Diary: new post on my website, click on the link in my bio. Budtoseed.co.uk As the wind howls outside, summer suddenly feels like it’s over, and these photos, taken just a couple of weeks ago in… instagram.com/p/B3AN4EZACrf/…

So much for my intention to keep the back garden subtle in colour. Penstemons and cosmos defiantly doing their thing #inmygarden #planting #plantingdesign #theflowergarden #gardensofinstagram #plantaddict #flowers… instagram.com/p/B24WqTyg8j9/…

An autumnal look for my shelves, thank you @DunsterCarolyn for the idea. Seed heads from my garden including ammi, poppies, oregano, cenolophium and dianthus. Shelves available to buy from my website… instagram.com/p/B2yXXb8gRCT/…
