Re: Botanical Garden 900m altitude
What a wealth of colors (and surely scents), it is true that with me it lacks a little color.

At home, honeysuckle is a martyr plant: its first suckers are often covered with aphids (but not this year!).

Perhaps the larva of the Little Peacock moth ...

There it is true that the honeysuckle smells.
Otherwise for the rest it is difficult to account for it in a photo.
Since we haven't cut anything for 18 months now, we end up with a carpet in the free portion ... which I compare to the Avatar garden: it's very surprising.
The moss plus the thyme thyme plus tons of grasses, thistles in shambles, other unknown ground covers, clary sage in abundance it makes a funny effect.
And I think it's not over because yesterday I discovered 2 unique and unknown copies ... (photos to come)
Anyway, as soon as we let nature do it ... it becomes divine again
Isn't it that I make Rousseau myself

Is that so? This one was unearthed and taken away during the move and even before I never saw it aphids.
But it must be said that we lived in the middle of the vineyards and that the sulphate plant was running at full speed .... replaced here by the beetles ... phew

It's on very young shoots ... But as said, not always. Gray aphids. Not the black ones (which are on elderberries, at the same time; ditto, on the first tender shoots, well before the flowers).

No problem, I would pass see take a closer look at one of these four

Re: Botanical Garden 900m altitude
I need information ... finally those of your experience on these two flowers: sowing, resistance to the cold ... etc
"Spontaneous" - The different stages of a clary sage
before flowering
flowers appear
a flower ... heavy that bends the stem (human interpretation) ... unless it is just the natural development of the plant
then once blooming the stem straightens
Accommodation
in the background the violets are common vipers (spontaneous of course, there are everywhere) but so decorative: obviously those who mow their lawn will never see them
A tuft goes from 1 stem to several on 1m of easy diameter and ditto for the height
The quotes on the spontaneity of these increasingly invasive clary sage refers to its semi-industrial culture which develops on the Valensole plateau which is not so far ...
However we never sowed them, they came out alone last year and even more in number this year
THIS SAYS
They only thrive in the pleasure garden at the moment.
Outside, that is to say at 10m there is hardly any
Why?
How?
Mystery.
I haven't seen one in the valley either.
A seedling of our predecessors ???
That would surprise me the house was abandoned
Completely parched ground
But who knows were they dormant
No idea.
It's very beautiful (from my point of view)
Imposing but not always ...
From 30cm to over 1m high and in circumference.
It resists very well in winter contrary to what we read everywhere.
