A wonderful virtual visit, thanks to you Brian  :)  I shall go back over your photos as the plantings and associations are truly artistic and it looks as if it is a garden where wandering is encouraged to enjoy a surprise planting or beautiful vista - what a fabulous experience to see Glen Chantry for real!

Brian

very much enjoyed your pictures. We visited this garden  about three weeks ago when on a visit to London but I never got round to putting up any pictures. We had a lovely afternoon there and bought some nice plants from the nursery. It is a wonderful garden and beautifully kept.

Always guaranteed to give you a good idea for moving plants in the garden for better effect, I shall really miss visiting in the future.

Brian,

A second thought on that white flower which we thought might be ornithogalum. Might it possibly be Paradisea lusitanicum or P. liliastrum? 

Given its height, I think mine might be P. lusitanicum. It is the higher of the two.

I am thrown too Paddy, it was about 3 foot tall so may well be the Paradisea lusitanicum...we shall have to ask!
