At Tatton this year, colour themed planting schemes where the tones of the planting pick up the colours painted on the fencing or hard landscaping are all the rage. One of the best is the fiery red scheme of 'Red Rhythm' designed by Lee Belgrau and Reaseheath College, a design where the scarlet tones of the crocosmia, dahlia and helenium, complement the red paint used in the hard landscaping.
If you prefer things a bit paler then the yellow theme, used by Phillipa Probert in her office courtyard entitled 'Revolution'. This would be a welcome retreat for any office worker, taking time out from the stresses of work to relax among the pastel plantings of white agapanthus and pale yellow anthemis.
Sticking with the single colour theme, the bright orange colours of 'Lose the Shoes' are the perfect antidote to a grey day (and today was very grey). Here, designer Bernie Quinn has carefully woven together bright orange crocosmia, geum and dark flowered Cosmos atrosanguineus, the perfect complement to the vibrant orange walls.

How to prepare eucalyptus tea:
Take a single leave, break the eucalyptus leave into small peaces or cut it in to peaces, put in a large cup, add hot water and let rest for about 4-6 minutes - then add honey or brown sugar and drink in small zips while hot.
You can drink one or 2 cups of eucalyptus tea just for fun or as preventive medicine. If you have a cough, then you drink 4-5 large cups per day. Children drink 3-4 small cups per day.
Eucalyptus leaves are thick and if you rub them gently between fingers the strong and powerful eucalyptus fragrance is freed ... and your fingers will be sticky from the resinous nature of the eucalyptus oil.
Eucalyptus tea made of dried eucalyptus leaves has lost most of its healing power and should be avoided as herbal medicine. If you live in a eucalyptus area and need eucalyptus leaves for your herbal cough medicine - then best is to cut small branches with a few dozen leaves and keep this fresh branches in a vase with water to prevent drying of the leaves. This method allows you to keep fresh cut branches for at least a day or 2 in useful condition. Eucalyptus leaves dry very fast if stored in aircon rooms or hot car or hot ventilated areas.
If you have no access to fresh eucalyptus leaves but need eucalyptus herbal medicine - then use either pure quality eucalyptus oil or fine quality eucalyptus candy as cough medicine. Here in the Philippine islands we are blessed with both - excellent quality eucalyptus candy sold in streets all over the country, as well as eucalyptus oil of good quality available mainly at mercury drug stores are very reasonable prices.
