The castle is surrounded by eight acres of landscaped gardens, including Queen Elizabeth 1st bowling green, sweeping lawns, terraces and the 8th Earl's swimming pool, that is now an ornamental Lily Pond with a plume fountain. You can enjoy the fabulous collection of roses, huge magnolia trees and scented borders, as well as other specialist plants and shrubs in the majestic setting.
Geranium 'Ann Folkard', early June. A popular hardy perennial with deep magenta flowers that bloom on long, wandering stems with bright green leaves that are yellow when young.
I went on a 10K walk, this morning, but, then, dropped by Frear Park & the Devil's Kitchen trail at Oakwood Cemetery (both in Troy, New York, USA), to see what was going on with the wildflowers. The trail around Bradley Lake at Frear Park is getting overgrown &, fearing deer ticks, I may not be going there much longer. The Jack-in-the-Pulpit are done, as are the Trillium. Mostly, all I saw was Dame's Rocket. At Devil's Kitchen, I saw a lot of Wild Geranium & one Yellow Star Grass plant--a first for me! One of three photos.
Autre géranium vivace Johnson Blue, installé près de fougères sous un arbuste. J'aime ces jolies fleurs bleues qui année après année seront plus nombreuses.
Hardy Geranium (cranesbill).
A European seedling from the well known Geranium 'Brookside', itself a cross between Geranium pratense and G. clarkei, this pretty blue flower is aptly named for the brightest constellation in the sky.
Orion is a garden delight. An early summer bloomer, if cut back to half its size, will spark a speedy rejuvenation and new flush of colorful blooms, like you see here. As it gets colder, the foliage will turn red.
Almost indistinguishable on first sight -

Surprise au milieu des champs de lave et de l'environnement minéral : des géraniums Sauvages apportent une petite touche colorée.
Wish I had an UV filter - I bet those red streaks are vivid...this cranesbill or true geranium ( I don't remember the variety,) has very deeply cut leaves...spreads well.
I thought I'd better upload the rest of the photos I have of "April's flowers" ;before May! There's a set of about a dozen...

Meadow Cranesbill. Or rather a cultivated version of that wild flower which is actually quite common in the meadows where I live. The wild ones finished flowering some weeks ago.
