    Impressive! I just love looking at that pink dahlia flower. I wish to see some of that in my own garden. Too bad I haven't started any planting of my dahlia tubers I received recently. I'll keep looking around for some useful info and tips on growing dahlias.

    I needed to walk through a garden and loved that you brought me through the seasons in Squidoo quick time! Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!

    Enjoyed my visit to your garden. Severalof your photo modules are not working, you need to re-publish and refresh.

    Beautifully structured and documented lens. *-*Blessed*-* and featured on Sprinkled with Stardust - Gardens.

    Beautiful, splendid, inspirational, lovely, stunning - it looks like my fellow Squidoo comment-ers have used all the adjectives that come to mind - so, I'll put on my best Yankee drawl and say "Awesome".

    Just re-visiting your garden...it's so beautiful! Where have you been...haven't seen anything from you lately?

    I had to revisit this stunning lens to find out where you're up to with your Year in a Cornish Garden. I see that my blessing has worn off, so here's another for the great pleasure in viewing your blooms

    What a lovely garden you have. Thanks for sharing it and for all the lovely photos.

    This is exquisite. It must have taken you ages to plan and plant the garden. I fall down on the planning side - in my garden, some months there are no flowers and other months the garden is full!

    What a wonderful garden you have! I wish mine would be a beautiful as yours!
    I've ever thought Kent was the Gardens of England but you proved Cornwall are too and I'd really like to visit the Lost Gardens of Heligan; which I also read something about in a book.
    Congrats and keep us update on how your garden's going!
    Thanks a lot for such nice pictures.
    5***** from Belgium!

    Hi Mike. Thanks for visiting Woolly Doughnut. I'm on my way to being a Giant Squid now. You were one of the first to encourage me on Squidoo. your garden is super abundant, what a blessing, also keeps you very busy. Liz

    Absolutely lovely -- thanks for the floral tour -- nothing better than saying it with flowers after all. Oh, Great Tits!!!

    Loved your lens! I was in Cornwall early July- usually love seeing Agapanthus ( I can't grow it here really- Lake District too far North), but they were only just coming out.
    Apparently stuff is 2 weeks later than recently due to cold winter!

    Great lens, love the photos. 5***** We are off to Cornwall on honeymoon next year and looking forward to the scenery since neither of us have been there much before. I am from Dorset and Debbie from Hampshire.

    I fell in love with the bluebells and poppies. Definitely two of my favorites. Your comment about not knowing the Latin names for flowers (or not even knowing names, period) made me laugh, because I choose plants for my garden simply because I love how they look. I don't know half the names for all that's growing there.

    I'm lensrolling this to my Backyard Makeover: Before and After lens. It's a good fit.

    Beautiful Garden! I'll bet the birds love it.

    Love the June flowers! My Mom had geraniums that she kept for several years and they would come back and bloom beautifully. She kept them inside during the winter months, I think. Last year I kept a begonia (inside) to see if it would come back, and it did and is beginning to bloom again!

    5** --A lovely lens. We've visited St. Ives when I was over. I hope to see The Eden Project. I have many echeverria plants (your succulents) -- commonly called hens and chicks (they are edible). I want to get several more varieties of this plant. I love "collecting" and "pinching" plants from places, and I must confess that I've even gotten a wee cutting from the herb garden of the Cathedral of St. Peter and St. Paul (National Cathedral in Washington, D.C.)--I sincerely hope that none of the groundskeepers ever reads this!!

    Wow - I love your gardens and your pictures are beautiful! I'm like you...lots of flowers in my gardens that I cannot identify.

    I have recently read that azaleas and rhododendrums (which I have in a garden) need acidic soil so now I'm giving them a drink of 1-1/2 tablespoons of vinegar mixed in 2 litres of water. I'm told not to water them too often as their roots don't like to be soggy. Plus you can put used coffee grounds around the base of the plant. Haven't seen any results, yet, but it's worth a try!

    Great lens! *****
  • janices7 May 26, 2009 @ 1:43 pm | delete
    Just lovely!!! The camellias and azaleas are two of my favorite flowering shrubs. So much color for so little effort which is always a plus on my list:)

    Your May flowers are beautiful! I've lensrolled you with my Mountain Laurel lens. They also bloom in May.

    There was a time when back home I used to know the Latin and common names of every tree and grass ( flowers passed me bye ) in the entire country ( Zimbabwe ). Sadly the old upstairs department is no longer in the same ticking order, but what I really want to say is, considering all the above. I really enjoyed this lens Mike and the photo's were beautiful.

    Considering there is fresh snow on the ground where I live, this lens was a breath of fresh air!!! Thank you! I'm going to forward this onto my Dad who loves all things cornish. I've also featured it this week... http://www.squidoo.com/squidu-threads
