The life cycle of a Itoh Peony Rose flower. Spring flowering herbaceous perennial. #itoh #peonyrose #flowers #gardening#photography#australia#beautifulgardens#colourfulflowers#plantsman #horticulture #perennial #herbaceous #bordergardens

A few older rose varieties are worth the space in large borders. L - R ‘Kathleen’ , ‘Penelope’ and ‘Cornelia’. The display of flower in full bloom can stop you to take a second look. #gardens#oldworldroses#flora#perfumed#bordergardens #flowers #gardendesign

In our old garden we had a collection of 139 different Japanese Maples. The collection was planted throughout our perennial borders that added to the flow of colour, texture and form. Similar in method of planting our Japanese Iris collection. #gardens #bordergardens #maples #iris #colourful
