Good companions The handsome, upright crosiers of the male fern (Dryopteris filix-mas) unfurl just as the bluebells are in flower. Good forms include the smaller 'Crispa Cristata' (which has neatly crested fronds) and the larger, bushier 'Grandiceps Wills'. Himalayan forms of Dryopteris wallichiana (Wallich's fern) have black hairs that look sensational next to violet-blue bluebells. As the fronds mature they cover the foliage. The nodding flowers of the geums usually flower at the same time. 'Herterton Primrose' is clear yellow, or you could use the softer, buff-coloured 'Beech House Apricot'. Both enjoy some shade. The golden grass Milium effusum 'Aureum', called Bowles' golden grass, sends out beaded awns. This self-seeds and tolerates shade, but don't confuse it with Bowles' golden sedge (Carex elata 'Aurea') which needs a lot of moisture. |

There are 720 roses in the Rose Galleries; many of which have the above series of pictures in their respective Rose Description Page. So one might avoid the disappointment that the 2 elephants had when their trunks were entwined instead of them each carrying their trunk using their own trunk, and your disappointment of buying a rose to discover that the colour you bought it for is only the case when it has its juvenile flowers; if you look at all the photos of the roses in the respective Rose Description Page!!!! |
