It has inspired me to try it more often here in New Hampshire. The weather was stark and cold while we were at Great Dixter but the pictures came out beautifully. I think we hit the peak time for tulips.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14771120380247636617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4067804781629732627.post-52664548399942896662013-05-28T18:57:56.762-07:002013-05-28T18:57:56.762-07:00Faisal, I had always thought that conventional wis...Faisal, I had always thought that conventional wisdom said the light in England was less intense and favored a pastel palette while our light here in North America was brighter and more intense which shows off hot colors better. That seems to be the case from my experience. I would think your light is more similar to New England than England?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14771120380247636617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4067804781629732627.post-22028872841676705942013-05-27T12:32:35.383-07:002013-05-27T12:32:35.383-07:00Seeing a perennial border recreated in so many pot...Seeing a perennial border recreated in so many pots in photo #4 is stunning - it almost has me enjoying perennial borders!

My understanding is that English light - if there can be said to be such a thing - is diffuse, mellow. That allows for colour to really stand out. I wonder what your thoughts are on this, and whether you notice much difference between where you are now and what you have at home. <br />Have a wonderful time!
