Garden inspiration: Eds Garden re-visited

As You maybe remember, in April I discovered this fantastic garden center outside Östhammar here in Uppland, "Eds Trädgård", very inspirational and different!
(Eds on Facebook)

I thought I was going to pay the garden and it's owners Gerrie & Eva-Lotta another visit in the summer when everything is in it's glory.

I did go back a couple of days ago, and I was not disappointed :D

To The Garden:

The first thing You smell already before entering the garden is the amazing Honey Rose: Hybrida R.Helenae

I love to explore this garden center, there is many places to sit down and enjoy the beauty and also see the flowers grown up not only in pots, so follow me on a little stroll:

Foxtrot Rose

The amazingly beautiful Mumy Rose/St.Johns Rose, the oldest cultivated rose known.
Cultivated atleast since year 100, introduced to Europe 1902

Morden Centennial Rose

Morden Centennial Rose

 

Aspirin Rose

I Love this Danish-Italian pottery

The Pottery Shed

Thank You for a inspirational visit in your beautiful garden center Gerrie & Eva-Lotta
and for the cooling glass of excellent Elderberry Juice!

Garden Inspiration: A Wet Walk in Uppsala Botanical Garden

The other day it rained when I went to the Botanical garden in Uppsala to see the inspiring and beautiful Ikebana exhibit.

But on the way to and from the Orangerie (where the exhibit are) could I not resist to stop here and there to admire and take photos of the flowers, especially the Irises, my favorites (just now).

I love their elegance and for Sweden a exotic look.

Since my own newly made Iris flower bed probably will take a year or so to fully flower do I enjoy looking at theese.

Now it's also time for the Elderberry, very popular for cooking in Sweden, juices, aquavitae, sorbets,...

And the flowers are stunning, even the berries later.

 I really liked this Elderberry, fantastic colours, but couldn't find a name

I wonder if this would give a different colour on the Elderberry juice?

On the wall to the Orangerie did I find this beautiful Paradise bush "Kolkwitzia Amabilis"

Water Lillies, always beautiful, but maybe even more so in rain!

This North American Alliun/Prärielök follow the shapes of the rain drops

Salvia, always stunning in huge rugs, these in flowerbeds outside one of the entrances

This Yellow Gentiana fascinated me, a really interesting shape

A few different Poppies

A Stemmacantha from Siberia & a delicate Saxifraga Sancta from Greece-Turkey

A elegant Laramie Columbine/Akleja from Wyoming and a huge rug of Lady's Mantle/Daggkåpa pushed down by the rain

In the Japanese part the Funkia/Hosta looking fantastic in rain

So ALL, I hope You enjoyed my Wet Walk as much as I did!¨

Take Care until next post!
