丹麥爺爺初夏的花園～

Hello, hello, welcome to the garden once again and one more lovely day It's midsummer and we have so much in bloom just now I have a lot to talk about and today I would like to show you this beautiful plant I know in English it's called Rose Bay Willow Herb And the botanic name is Epilopium Angustifolium And the variety name is Starl Rose You probably know this plant from the nature This plant is native to the Danish nature but it's more red You can see this is very soft pink, such a beautiful plant And the thing is that is a spiral form so it will never self seed This is a problem with the wild form but it's spreading If you know the plant you will know that it spread around But because I'm planting so dense It will just spread what you can say very gently And I think this is a lovely sight when you see all these spikes here And they also attract bees and other insects There are also still many alliums in the garden The most plant is Allium aphatonensis, purple sensation But this is gone, you can see I have a seed head here But there are other varieties, for example this one This is Globemaster and you can see so many flowers It also started to have seed heads here But then we have this one, this is Ambassador And this is the latest one to flower in the garden And you can see this plant is also attracting bees And I would also like to show you this one This is Allium negrum, a white form It's also such a pleasure that Fred and my gardener have been busy Cutting the hedges, see how sharp they are I just love when the hedges they are just clipped Because they are so great as frames in the garden But I would also like to show you some roses This is an old rose, Rose de Rest and it's so well smelling It's an antique rose, it's a rose from China Maybe the oldest rose we know And you need to grow this rose in the garden If you don't have it I just love to grow roses between perennials And I will show you a little secret Because this is a standard rose You can see here, it raised here And it means that you will have the flowers here And I think that this color is going so well For example with the Ninebark here, Physocarpus Nugget And as you know I just love to grow All these plant shrubs with limey foliage But I have some more roses to show you This one is a real stunner A rose from David Austin in England Monsted wood, such a rich red color And also such a great smell And you can see there are so many perennials around For example this geranium, this is Patricia I have this geranium, this Cranesbill in so many places It's a quite tall growing geranium But the good thing is that here all the other plants will support them Once again we have Rose de Rest here As I have shown you for a moment ago And then this one, this is Rhapsody in Blue Such an unusual color I think you can feel it's a beautiful day A little bit sunny, a little bit wind But it's quite mild And you can see the roses, they just love it We are really longing for water But the good thing is that when you don't have that much water in the garden The roses they will be much nicer If you have the double roses and you get too much water They will just rotten And see here, you can see, you really can see the hectares How much they give to the garden Beautiful frames There are so many beautiful roses See for example this one, this is Bough Beauty, an Apricot Rose Also with a wonderful smell And if you look up, you can see this is Alchemist Growing here and it's also a beautiful rose I need to say that this rose is just flowering one time per season But this is the first one to open here in the garden And I have some more to show you I have so many favourites when it comes to the roses And they are so important to my garden See this, this is Aloe And it's hard to explain the colour It's a little bit between apricot and pink And we also have the Peonies here This is almost gone But there are some fresher ones You can see, I think we have them here This is Bough of Beauty And I prefer the single ones Because they are what you can say Standing on their own legs You know, if they are too double They will just fall But see this, this is really a wonder of the world I would like to show you some of the Perennials Maybe you remember that I a few weeks ago Show you this, have shown you this one This is Geranium Patense Which is almost gone now And in few days time we will just cut it down And then it will have new foliage And here we have a Campanula Campanula Latiflora Prickles variety And there are always plants to take over here We are also growing many Lilies in the garden They will be in bloom in few weeks time And then of course because I like the cottage style We are also growing Hollyhocks And they are quite tall And I really like to grow tall plants in the garden Hydrangeas are also very useful in the border Because I grow so many varieties This is Winch Red And you can probably see when the flowers they open They are green, then they turn white And later in the season they will very slowly turn to red And in the late summer and in the autumn They are very, very dark red And do you see this? A moment ago I was talking about the Cranebill here Hydrangea And you can see it really covers the soil here And it is so airy And here we have some more Lilies When it comes to tall plants I would also like to mention this one A beautiful Umbellifer This is Valeriana officinalis It goes so well between the Roses and the Peonies See this Rose This is Citrus Isle And there are also so many beautiful Peonies in bloom Then I would like to show you this one See this form It is almost like an apple And if it had been rainy They will just, as I said, they will rot So I am so pleased that it is almost very dry See this This is Jeff Hamilton A beautiful Rose And in about some weeks You will see the Tellytrum I have different varieties And I can't wait to show you them This was a little tour in the garden See the Hedges again Aren't they amazing And yes, there is so much to look forward to And I promise that in about a week I will show you some more parts of the garden Thank you so much for watching Good bye, good bye
