From early Spring the hellebores begin to flower. Some of the evergreen species such as the Argutifolius seem to keep their shiny leaves in pristine condition throughout the year. Others reappear in Spring, sometimes even in Winter, as if by magic. Among the photos, Tutu, Foetidus Westerflisk, Blackthorn, Niger, Orientalis, Sternii, and Argutifolius.

During spring and summer, the irises are at their best. Others included in the photographs are Siberica, Foetidissima, Yellow, Bronze Beauty, Pallida Variegata, Kent Pride and Salonique.

The garden will alway have quite a few lilies on the top level beds during the start of summer, some in pots some in the ground.

At various times of the year there are poppies everywhere in the garden, but especially in the middle and bottom areas. May has even managed several different types of Mecanopsis although the garden soil is not really suitable for this species. The photographs include Papaver Orientalis, Californian Poppy, Snow Poppy, Mecanopsis Blue, Mecanopsis Napaulensis,and Welsh Poppy.

The photos include Aquilegia, Centaurea, Pansies, Sweet Peas, Bluebells, Campanula persificifolia Primula vialii, Crocus, Himalayan Honeysuckle and Campanula glomerata.
