Garden and landscape historian researching plant nurseries. Also interested in the link between music and gardens.
Not just any old garden flowers, but flowers on a reasonably sized rock garden. I wonder where he was when he drew it. #rockgardens #alpineflowers #gardens

Looks like Iris reticulata. Perhaps ‘J S Dijt’ if they are purple?

Thank you for your company and wonderful music through so many early mornings, and especially through those difficult starts to the day during the pandemic. You will be much missed.

Wonderful image. Love of flowers in a back yard.

Thank you! Good to hear that they survived, unlike their contemporaries, Richardsons of Darlington.

Lovely painting. I wonder who the greenhouses were by. Another under-researched topic that is a vital part of #gardenhistory
