Hiding a stump

Cutting down a leylandii hedge last year to create this garden left a couple of stumps, left deliberately high to add height to the garden. This is what one looks like now - mainly honeysuckle and climbing rose, but you will spot other things.

Hidden day lilies

Days lilies, or hemerocallis, were spotted hidden in the bog garden covered by rose bay willow herb. Stripped out, this is what they look like now. Planted nearly 30 years ago, they love the damp.
Unfortunately, so do the rushes.
