This is the
South East corner of the back garden. Mahonia and dafodills.

to the left of the mahonia in the picture above. You can just make out
the grit Sue uses to discourage the slugs and snails which create havoc
in the garden.

In the middle of the Eastern border is the pink camellia.
Behind is the lilac. You can just see the ornamental weeping cherry in
the bottom right hand corner. We are overlooked by several houses at the
back but as the years go by they are becoming less and less noticeable.

The white
rhododendron under the right hand side of the eucalyptus tree. On the
left is the variagated leaf plant, phormium veriegatum, and above it you
can just see the acer. Above the rhododendron is the yellow garryia elliptica

back of the garden, Eastern edge.

This is the Northern edge of the lawn and a comparatively
recently made flower bed, well about five years ago. Mum calls this Michael's
garden because I created it. There are heathers, a minature rose, a yellow
azalea, euphorbia polychroma and a couple - male and female - shrubs,
skimmias. In the centre behind is a tall tree heather which smells lovely.
You can just see my 60th birthday present from mum, a beautiful naked
black woman statuette. Behind this is the summer jasmin.
