Purple iris, Persicaria and Centaurea add acme to a baby bed of Bowles' aureate bracken and hosta abreast the patio. A anfractuous aisle of bean chippings beyond by board planks leads to a carefully corrective shed. In the foreground, active Miscanthus sinensis 'Zebrinus' punctuates a bed of slate by the pond. Iris laevigata adds colour.
