Having set out with a mission of tall plants at the back and small ones at the front in shades of white, I have to succumb to this somewhat jazzy firework display! After all, it is a cottage garden and the self seeded flowers are happy to take the stage!

Poached gently for several hours the yellow quinces in the previous photo are transformed magically into this wonderful warm colour - almost as difficult to define as the fragrance of this ancient fruit.
