Earlier this year I posted about how to plant an Alstromeria, more specifically Alstromeria Indian Summer. It was a donation from a good pal who had divided his plant to invigorate the parent. I had coveted this plant for a long time and was delighted to be given a very good size division. It is in the blue and orange bed and is now looking its magnificent best. What is particularly pleasing is that it has, as part of the back drop, a Verbena Bonariensis which was also a generous donation. It came from an ex colleague who has a enviable knack for propagation.
Shown below are close ups of the key plants in this part of the border and despite the heavy rains of the past week are looking cheerful and summery. I even caught a little bit of the wild life in some shots!

Of course, when the camera is out a certain feline, aka Mili, just has to get in on the act.
