Sissinghurst

We followed everyone else to the White Garden

and appreciated the delicate blue Aster border

and wondered at the Nuttery

and climbed the tower to see the garden in the landscape

but it was the hot borders that we loved:

pulsating plantings of sunshine yellow and flame orange;

an extravagant compression of fiery petals.
