The Garden 

 that We Made 



"lamb's ear," with woolly leaves as soft as velvet; the 

 plume poppy [Bocconia cordata), a tall plant which is quite 

 easy to cultivate though its homeland is Japan — it blooms 

 in July ; Yucca Jilameniosa, with white, waxen, bell-shaped 

 flowers and lance- shaped leaves pointing upwards; the 

 thistle-like sea-holly {Eryiighcvi alpimim) ; Salvia sclarea, 

 a peculiar plant with decorative leaves, and milk-white 

 clusters of blossoms (it was formerly called Oculus Christi) ; 

 Hyacinihus candicans, lily-white in colour ; lavender cotton, 

 with its graceful, pale-grey foliage ; and many others in 

 addition to these I have mentioned. All of these have 

 either bluish-grey flowers or grey foliage, and the general 

 effect is beautiful as well as rare.
