Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

Primrose

This primrose has established itself in the grass under a pear tree. I carefully avoid it with mower and it has gradually got bigger over seversl years.

That's very pretty.

I've had a colony of primula vera that has established itself and includes plants producing flowers with a range of colours. I also have some very attractive Carr's Hybrid as marginals in the pond.

And is that a 'Bowles Mauve' perennial wallflower behind it? I've had a couple of these and they are very good value - they keep flowering for much of the year, but after a few years get too leggy for my small garden and need replacing.

I trust you've been to visit Myddleton House Gardens in Enfield where the eponymous E.A.Bowles grew his rare plant collection?
