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.

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.
