The Bog Garden.
Look out for the exquisite Japanese woodlander Glaucidium palmatum,
and a heavily spotted form of the terrestrial orchid, Dactylorhiza.
The brick path leads up through a gateway into the bog garden.
Spring brings the bright yellow spathes of Skunk Cabbage (Lysichiton
americanum) followed later in the year by its huge paddle-shaped
leaves.
Here too are lush rodgersias , ferns, and a raft of candelabra
primulas. Midsummer brings the metre-high Tibetan cowslip (Primula
florindae), and its spicy warm scent wafts over this part of the
garden.
