Plant of the Day

Saturday 1 June 2019

The mural on the walls of the Fan Museum conservatory, Greenwich, London, depicts the South African sub-shrub Melianthus major (honey flower). This handsome evergreen has glaucous leaves up to 45cm in length. In spring and summer there are small, tubular maroon flowers in erect racemes which I saw a few days later blooming on a plant outside the conservatory of Myddleton House, Enfield, UK.

The beauty of a #fanshape in #gardendesign is that it lends itself to small and larger designs. A #formal #plantingscheme works best, following the lines of the ribs on the fan. I created a #frontgarden design for a client who loved fans a while ago. This decorative #ironwork at the #fanmuseum in #greenwich reminded me of it. #gardendesigner #frontgardendesign #plantingdesign #greenwichmuseum #london #designinspiration (at The Fan Museum)

Just about done. We ended our visit for a spot of tea in the Orangery, a garden room cafe, with amazing hand painted murals, which also looks out onto their 'secret garden'. A splendid afternoon was spent at the Fan Museum in Greenwich, South East London.

Passing through a portico with fan shaped iron elements and a lovely moss covered garden, which, sadly, isn't used, I gather. It's quite remarkable how much history and culture can be encapsulated in a fan museum! In Greenwich, South East London.
