So we started off with the Weeping Cherry tree that I have always wanted in a garden. Victor wanted the Silver Birch trees. So, the Weeping Cherry was put in the garden in such a way that we can see it from the lounge and also that I can see it from the kitchen. The Silver Birch trees we got at a reasonable price so we got ten of them. They were placed at the bottom of the garden. I always wanted Maple Trees so we planted those too. All of these we did thinking of Autumn colours. In that same thought we planted a couple of Claret Ash trees and Pear tree, Cherry tree and another couple of trees and also a Golden Ash tree. We did all this last June which is our Winter. They all lived through the Winter, the frost and budded and and put forth plenty of leaves to show they were alive.
Since then, we have slowly accumulated other ornamental plants whenever we have seen something that we liked the look of, or when a kindly friend or neighbour gave us either plants or cuttings. So far, we haven't lost too many plants.
I wanted a white Magnolia plant. Always loved them so when someone gave me someone for my birthday last year I bought myself a Magnolia plant. I wanted to be able to see a nice bed from my treatment room, where I do Esoteric Healing and Massage and also teach Infant Massage.
The Magnolia is in the middle of the bed and I bought 4 roses to put on the corners of that bed. They are Papa Meilland, Charles De Gaulle, Red Intuition, and Alfred Sisley. Alfred Sisley went to rose heaven and never did even venture into any kind of living. So in its place we have a Augusta Luis.

Charles De Gaulle
Papa Meilland
Red Intuition
Red Intuition is one of the Delbard Painters roses as was Alfred Sisley that went to rose heaven. There are several in this range I really want to get them all. They all have a main colour with another colour that splashes through it as you see above.
