Please join me for a garden walk on 21 06 24 when the garden turns into a jungle of growth. Starting in the front looking at the driveway plantings then moving to the back garden in it's lush early summer growth phase.
Thanks for letting us walk round the garden with you. We had a laugh when you couldn't remember the name for the Crinodendron - know how it feels like! We have a garden full of "thingies" and "What's its name". It is not unusual for either of us to shout out a name during watching TV referring to a plant name we had forgotten.

It reminded me of the late Sir Richard Attenborough calling everyone "Darling". He said that it was because he could never remember anyone's name so he always called them Darling!

Thanks Tom, memory recall becomes increasingly challenging as we get older. I am reassured when younger people have a lapse it reminds me that it is not just us seniors.

My current lapse is, I know the days of the week, but never get them in the right order. I now work on watching my neighbour's wheely bins going out. It must be a Thursday!

Bulb Log Video diary garden walk 31 08 24.
An update showing the state of the garden as we transition into autumn.
Here are some of the names that I could not instantly recall during my walk. The scarlet flower was Philesia magellanica, the orchid I think might be an Epipactis, the pineapple plant is Eucomis bicolor, the climber I didn't mention is Codonopsis grey-wilsonii.

Here is the first Bulb Log Video Diary garden walk of 2025.
On the one good day in weeks I dug out my old video camera and went for a walk to see what was in flower. It inevitably features the early bulbs where Galanthus, Eranthis, Leucojum, Crocus and Cyclamen along with others are in full flower.
