Today we ’re headed off to Cork , Ireland , to appear back at some pic from this past summer in Collette O’Connell ’s garden .
A variety show of yearly mingle with perennials , shrubs , and rocks to make a varied garden seam with a long season of sake .
A gay fleck of shining scandalmongering and orange marigold ( Tagetespatula , annual ) echoes the warm yellow-bellied colour of the leafage of the surrounding shrubs .

An sure-enough tree trunk has been repurposed into a spot to pay heed baskets of geraniums ( Pelargoniumhybrid , annual ) .
Neatly mow lawn and trimmedhedgesmake a nice frame for colorful garden bed .
Glowing pots ofannuals , including geraniums andCalibrachoa , digest against a screen background hedging made up of a arras of beautiful shrubs .

The smart yellow daisy flowers here are the petty annual butter daisy ( Melampodium ) .
Red geranium combine with a cherry - and - whitedahlia(Dahlia variabilis , Zones 8–10 or as a tender bulb ) , imperial meadow sage ( Salvianemorosa , Zones 4–8 ) , and a pinkish dianthus ( Dianthushybrid ) .
A gorgeous copious , glum - redPeruvian lily(Alstroemeria , Zones 8–10 )
