More blooms are appearing in the Vicarage Garden. Since this blog got tweeted yesterday, lots of new people have been visiting the Vicarage and I’m hoping that some of them are gardeners.
So, after success with the last identify-a-flower game, here are some more mysterious plants that I’d love to know the names of. Once they have a name I think they are less intimidating. Though I still only really get gardening when there are so many kids in the garden that I think there’ll be an accident unless I supervise.
Yesterday I failed to go out and my kids had a major blow out with each other cos the trampoline was full and the Queen wouldn’t let her brothers on. And there were only seven children in the garden – this is a low number for our garden. Ten is my must-supervise number.

- Pointy pink spikes – still unidentified from the last quiz

- Purple trailing things – these are everywhere

- Trailing yellow – low lying

The white shrub is a double Philadelphus (mock orange), the traily blue is a Campanula and the pink is a polyganum, which is mad, as that means it is related to the “mile a minute” climber.
Hope you get a chance to enjoy the garden some time, a womans work is almost never done.
Hello Henri and a warm welcome to the Vicarage.
Thank you for your identifications. What is the ‘mile a minute’ climber? I do enjoy the garden from time to time, normally whilst supervising local kids playing in it. I suspect that my work is almost never done because I spend too much time on the internet 🙂
