Use a system to select your plants using flower colour

 

When the sight of the flowers without identity for 50% -

  • 4 Permanent Herbaceous Plants,
  • 1 Other Permanent Plants and
  • 1 of your Bedding Plants -

out of 12 plants including the hedge in this part of the Mixed Borders, I think that some plant selection process should be followed to

  • create a harmonious colour scheme instead of a potage of Cream and Peach, White, Greenish-Yellow, Violet-Blue, Pinkish-White, Sulphur-Yellow, Lavender-Pink, Lavender and Purple, with
  • not having the plants in front either hiding the whole of the plant behind it or its plant label.

 

 

One method, which can be used, is a top-down hierarchy for selecting plants with the 10 levels being as described below and in the Plants Topic:-

 

 

A second method is to choose flowers from different plant types with the same flower colour from 53 colours using

 

A third method is to choose flowers from different plant types with the same flower colour from 12 colours for the months required for flowering using

 

A fourth method to add a plant type to your beds is to choose flowers from that plant type with the same flower colour for the months required using

 

 

Whichever method is used to select your plants, it would be useful to look at Companion Planting to see

  • if the plants selected would be friendly to each other
  • whether there are any plants which could be added to aid the health and growth of your selected plants, and
  • whether pest deterrent plants could also be planted to deter those pests

and to the cultivated poisonous plants with the wildflower poisonous plants to try and not poison yourself, your dog, cat or horse.

Phlox paniculata 'Nesperis'

Emailed RHS for data on this plant in March 2013

This RHS reply sent on 13 September 2013:-
Dear Mr C H Garnons-Williams,   
Thank you for your enquiry to the Royal Horticultural Society's Members' Advisory Service. 
On investigation, I have concluded that the phlox labelled as 'Nesperis' in the garden is in fact: Phlox x arendsii 'Hesperis' . 
A search on the internet will generate a great deal of information on this cultivar.
I hope this information is helpful.
Yours sincerely,   

Tony Dickerson

In the late 19th century, it was introduced to temperate regions of North America, South America, and Australia as an ornamental plant, and is now considered a major agricultural and wildland noxious weed. I would not recommend growing it in your garden, orchard or fields.

Solution to Unemployment in Britain:-

"The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in Auckland, New Zealand, have taught 3 rescue dogs to drive in an effort to encourage people to adopt and love shelter pets."

Besides the trained dogs who aid Blind People in walking, these other dogs could be trained to drive in Britain. Then, when a Blind person wishes to be driven, an unemployed person could earn their benefit by being in the front passenger seat giving directions to the dog who is doing the driving, but not to the dog who is sitting in the back seat alongside the Blind passenger.

The Blind person gets social interaction and the unemployed person - in aiding this blind person to go further than that person can walk for shopping or to visit friends - increases their self-esteem and self-worth.

The cars are maintained and operated with the dog driver during 8 hours each week by these unemployed. The running costs, cars and car parts are paid for by the local Government Employment Department.
