Exotic gardening @ 55° North: Charleville House, Enniskerry
http://fiftyfivedegreesnorth.blogspot.com/2015/06/charleville-house-enniskerry.html
Exotic gardening @ 55° North. Thursday, 25 June 2015. Charleville House, Enniskerry. Charleville House near Enniskerry, Co. Wicklow is a large private garden that occasionally opens its doors to allow the great unwashed in. It's close to the more famous house and gardens of Powerscourt, which overlook it from a distance. Nowadays the property is owned by Kenneth Rohan, a property developer with an interest in fine art, so security is tight. Catananche, or Cupid's dart. I've never managed to establish Sol...

Exotic gardening @ 55° North: The time is nigh
http://fiftyfivedegreesnorth.blogspot.com/2015/05/time-to-cut.html
Exotic gardening @ 55° North. Saturday, 23 May 2015. The time is nigh. Sadly I can hold out no longer. It's past the middle of May and the lawn must be hacked back to something a little more presentable. The garden needs tidying in preparation for planting out the tenders for the summer. However, before any of that happens the lawn (I use that word loosely as I am no slave to turf care) needs the attention of the mower. Off with their heads! Hopefully it plays ball this time, wish me luck.

Exotic gardening @ 55° North: August 2013
http://fiftyfivedegreesnorth.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Exotic gardening @ 55° North. Thursday, 15 August 2013. You could say that, but it's one that I'll admit to, even in polite company. I grow numerous types and I'll cover each of them in turn over time. The Asiatics that I've been turned on to are those with outward and downward facing flowers. They're just better looking plants, with the blooms spaced out at the top of the adequately tall stalk and hanging their heads coyly. Today I'll start of with a stunner called Lilium 'Pink Flavour'. The only downsi...

Thursday, April 30, 2015. A visit to Walter Andersen Nursery in San Diego. It looks like I'm on a bit of a California nursery roll, Tuesday we visited San Gabriel Nursery. Near the Huntington Gardens, today we're headed back down to San Diego and a stop at Walter Andersen. A family owned nursery dating back to 1928. This nursery was on my list thanks to a recommendation by the man behind this garden. I'm still not in love with the staghorn ferns. They had a nice selection, for those who are. Today we're ...
