  • Need help from you clever Grapes!

    I have been watching bits of the Chelsea Flower Show and really liked the garden designed by Chris Beardshaw.

    I especially liked the orange flower amongst the different purples and have been trying to figure out what it is - even tried looking up those on the planting list but to no avail!

    Can any of you clever Grapes help!

    Thanks

                  Thanks Bren - I had looked at the list and searched the names but nothing was coming up that looked like the orange flowers!

                  I thought about Geums but they looked really tall so wasn't 100% sure - I might just need to right to Chris (via Beechgrove) and ask the name (or if he wants to go for a drink sometime) as IMHO he's gardening eye-candy!

                          Think you could be right Bren - and unfortunately on seeing the flower up close in better pic's I'm no sure i like it that much anymore

                          I'm so fickle lol!

                          Thanks for all your help/suggestions - I knew I could rely on you clever lot!

                            I just caught up with yesterday's chelsea coverage. If it's the one in this snapshot it's definitely a Geum.
