Martagon Lilies






The Martagon Lilies are flowering under the 100 year old oaks, right through December. They really are special. So subtle compared to their bold cousins! So lovely up close when you can see their little freckles...

Lilies......



 It is that time of year when the lilies are in full song at Dursley. Judith has a succession of varieties coming through, so they go on for months. The Asiatics are just glorious at the moment - and soon the incredibly fragrant Christmas Lilies will be out. Can't wait! Gorgeous in the garden , and also filling the house with fragrance when picked for the table.




And not to be outshone - the peonies are vying for attention in other parts of the garden!
