Garden festival - British style...


Ladies and Gentlemen!
Hi folks!

Welcome to the Royal Garden Festival at Wolfsgarten Castle near Langen, Hesse, Germany.


This year's central theme of the garden festival was "English Gardening".


No wonder that Lissy, err, sorry, Elisabeth II was among the guests in the wonderful park of Wolfsgarten Castle.



 But let's focus more on the wonderful late summer florets many exhibitors brought with them.


Purple Echinacea...


...and the red variant.



These pink beauties should be of the Anemone hupehensis species.



Black-eyed Susan / Rudbeckia hirta "Indian summer" !?!?!?


Guests from Japan: Tricyrtis hirta, the toad lily.



Physalis alkekengi - and many other names for the lantern plant:
Bladder cherry, Chinese lantern, Japanese lantern, or Winter cherry; Japanese: hōzuki



Finally: a golden Echinacea and...

...Actaea racemosa, the fairy candle or black cohosh, black bugbane or black snakeroot.


Ooops...


...at the end of the festival I even discovered the everlasting Prince of Wales, HRH Charles Philip Arthur George Mountbatten-Windsor, in the buggy of this very British lady from the first photo...


Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen, for stopping by and for accompanying us straight through the park.
