Its too hot to do any more in the garden for a while so I thought I would
seek advise from the wisdom of this forum.
I have just cleared this area of the garden.
http://share.ovi.com/media/Muddymike.Garden/Muddymike.10533?sort=5
I removed a bucket and a half of bulbs from here and want to plant two or
three flowering shrubs. It looked awful before and as it is situated right
outside the bedroom window of the holiday apartment we let I want it to look
better.
This seems to like it here,

so what else would do well and give colour all summer?
Four types of bulb removed. Third from the left are Bluebells but what are
the others?

I would like to re plant these in a clearing up in the woods, but the area
does not get a lot of direct sunlight.
One other question. This Hebe

Looks wonderful both when in flower and when not. Sadly it is now covering
half the path and I would like to cut it back. How/when would be the best
way to cut it back without spoiling its shape.
I have also just shot another walkround, will upload and post later if
anyone is interested.

I certainly am interested Mike, I love your shots. I'm not good at
suggesting anything to anyone who knows so much more than me!
However, I can help you on in identifying your flower bulbs,
mushroom, white radish, onions and shallot (G) Yes, I am joking!!!!

Are you sure you mean 3rd from the left? It's the odd-shaped white ones
which look like bluebells to me. 3rd from left look more daffodilly.

There were no daffs in that bed at all and I am pretty sure the third from
left were the ones I removed the remains of bluebells from. The odd shaped
white ones had tall grass like stems with a purple bobble thing at the top.
I have some more elsewhere will try to get a picture.

Grasslike with purple bobbles sounds like Allium
