Antony

As Antony has the National Collection of Day Lilies we thought we would go to see what they were looking like.  We were welcomed by the sight of some of these flowers just inside the entrance.

First we went into the summer garden, that was looking very colourful, although the colours of the plants seemed to be more muted than I remember from previous years.

The collection of day lilies were slightly past their best, no doubt because of the hot sunshine we have had lately, but they still gave a good display.

From the formal gardens of Antony House we walked through the grounds to Antony Woodland Garden.  It was pleasant to walk along the paths through shrubs, but there was not much woodland to give shade.  There was not any flowers out, except one flowering tree that was very beautiful.
