LEMONS AND LIMES
A lemon shade potentilla at the front of a border. A hardy perennial which is long flowering and will self seed around the garden.
A lime shade euphorbia, in the middle of a border. A compact, suckering variety which can be useful as ground cover. Will tolerate dry shade and looks great in a woodland setting.
Always be cautious when handling euphorbia, the sap is poisonous and irritates the skin.
Beautiful,fresh colours! ;-)
ReplyDeleteLove the colour of the euphorbia, really pretty!

Sorry it has been such a long time since I visited your garden..I bet it is looking wonderful in it's Spring clothes.
Such vivid greens a springtime almost chartreuse.

I didn't know that euphorbia was poisonous. I love the lime green shade.

The potentilla is so pretty, I don't think I have ever seen one before.
ReplyDeleteThe euphorbia is lovely too, I hadn't realised they could cause irritaion, thanks for the tip.
I am very behind with my garden, we are planning to make a big move on it this coming weekend though.
hope you have a good week

I love euphorbias, I'm somehow fascinated by the greenness of their flowers....
