Nasturtiums are one of my favourite summer flowers. They are easy to grow, they attract butterflies and their leaves taste delicious in salads.

I know, I know, I know. Ferns appear quite a lot on this blog but this one really impressed me. It sprung up a few years ago in between the two ponds in my garden. It's one of natures beauty. You can design a garden but you have to work with nature too.

An orange coloured rose is not the first colour I think of when I imagine a Rose but this one points out that there are many more verieties and colours than you may think.

One of the houses on our road has an impressive vegetable patch. Amongst the veggies are courgettes/marrows. Check out their flowers.

On the way to The Tate I found this garden. What a gorgeous oasis of green. I am really inspired by the planting within these boarders.

It's Crocosmia season. This plant is in my parents garden. When I went to Cornwall last year, I was surprised to see this plant growing wild on the side verges of the roads.

The tiles in the background of this photo make me think of a Sanderson fabric that encourporates a trellis. The picture also makes me think of textiles where there is a plaid or gingham print encourporated into the design.
