I don’t think there is a more “giving” plant than a foxglove. Tiny little seeds but, dear me, they self seed so easily…and everywhere! It’s all so effortless. I like to let them flower wherever they self seed because they ensure that your garden is different every year! Every year a new surprise 🤗
I totally agree - a delight to see them ‘do their thing’. The four that flowered together in the ‘tropical bed’ have been fantastic. 👍
Hi Paul . Your garden is shining at night . I also take pictures and video to my garden at night , of course the pictures are attractive and bright . Have anice day .
Great to hear you take lots of pictures of your garden Lina. Enjoy your weekend.
Thank you,Paul,you make things look so easy and pretty
Thank you Suzie 🌻
I also wander through areas of the garden at varying times of day. Often, a particular vignette stands out which is perfect for a photo.
I do the same - light changes and the plants always surprise - mobile phones are so handy because we always have them with us.
Beautiful ❤️ I love wandering around my garden in late evening. Even at night it is just amazing. Thank you Paul! Keep the videos coming..
So relaxing isn’t it Judy! - I woke up this morning at 3.30 - the birds were singing so I went outside and joined the hedgehog that was running around. Light in the sky so everything visible.
Glad you enjoyed the video. 🌻
Hello, dear Paul! Not only tips and inspiration for our gardens, but also for how to photograph all it. You're absolutely amazing, my friend! Thanks from the heart for sharing your experience with us!
Have a great weekend and a huge like! HUGS from Milan! Renata
So nice of you, thank you Renata. Judging from your videos you certainly know how handle a camera! Best wishes to 🇮🇹 🌻
@@paultsworld 🤗Www...Thank you so.much, Paul!! You're very kind!! Big hug from Milan! Renata
Greetings from England!
@@paultsworld Ciao, Paul and nice Summer Sunday!!
@@renatalimarzi Thank you Renata - sorry I was so late in replying to your other message!
Gorgeous garden Paul! I love sunsets and their magical colors🥰💚💚💚💚🪴🌵
Thank you Saya, there’s something about a sunset isn’t there? Love those colours. 🌻
Я тоже снимаю видео или вечером или в пасмурную погоду, тогда в саду виден каждый цветочек. А сейчас у меня чудесно цветут розы.
I also shoot video either in the evening or in cloudy weather, then every flower is visible in the garden. And now my roses are blooming wonderfully
Thank you, that’s a really good tip - a cloudy or overcast sky gives nice light and you can shoot from any direction - no shadows to worry about.
Your garden must look fabulous now your roses are blooming.
Garden looks Beautiful on summer 🌼
Idea of the filming of own garden is very relaxing and memorable 🍁😍
Thank you - Summer has now arrived as temperatures have gone up a lot 👍
Hi Paul. Thank you for the tutorial on photography in the garden. I learned quite a bit and clicked the save icon so I can review your tips. The other part of the equation is to have something beautiful to photograph and your garden certainly meets that criteria. Everything looks so beautiful and lush. Thank you.
Hello Douglas, glad you found my little video useful - that’s true, good subject in nice light is a winner. 👍
I'm going to have go out and try this. I've never thought about photographing my garden, but it is a great way to journal. Thanks, Paul!
Absolutely Fredi, it's a really nice way to see the progress and changes in the garden over the years - and it's fun to do.
We’re so blessed by all you show us in your garden ❤
So nice of you Jill 🌻
Thank you for sharing Paul. That was lovely and peaceful, beautiful evening 😊
Thank you Lil 🌻
🙋♂️PAUL,JUST NOW COMMENTING,AND YOU ARE SO RIGHT ABOUT THE EVENING LIGHT 👍 AND …THANKS FOR SHARING YOUR THOUGHTS ON HOW TO MAKE GOOD PICTURES AND VIDEOS FOR US 🤗💚💚💚
Cheers, glad you enjoyed my evening photo tour! 👍 📸
You're a good teacher! Thank you for sharing.
I really enjoyed all the bumblebees on the foxgloves.
Thank you Anna.
Wasn’t it interesting with every foxglove having its own bumblebee - amazing.
Wow those foxglove are huge! Such beautiful plants.
Thanks for the good information on taking photos and video!
The foxgloves have grown well this year!
hava güzel bahçe herzamanki gibi sanki cennetten bir köşe kusursuz çok çok güzel kamelyanın içinde yemek yenir çay içilir harika bahçeye vermiş olduğunuz emeğe değmiş vlog için teşekkürler türkiyeden selamlar size ve ülkenize😀
That is very nice of you Kayra. Yes, I do like to drink tea on the patio when I am relaxing.
Çok güzelsin Kayra. Evet, dinlenirken verandada çay içmeyi severim. Türkiye'ye selamlar.
Thank you Paul. I will try to get some photos this evening. My father was a fantastic photographer. No matter the weather he would bring us to the arboretum or a lake nearby. He especially liked taking pictures of his rose garden.
Taking photos of your garden Jacqueline, is a lovely way to carry on your family tradition and add to the collection. Hope you have some nice light this evening.
Thank you, Paul for that informative I instruction. I'll give it a try!
Thank you Joanne - let me know how it goes!
Good afternoon Paul,
I love to walk in the late afternoon around the yard. Fantastic photo shots of your garden! Stunning 😊yard! Gorgeous maple! 📸 📷 📸
Thank you Maria, nice maple isn’t it! 🌻
This is a timely video Paul I also have a Phlomis in flower so this evening I shall be photographing it along with other plants thankyou for the tips on taking pictures.
Touché! I don’t seem to stop talking about phlomis - it’s my first one - given by a neighbour - and first time it’s flowered. Enjoy your garden Elizabeth this evening with your camera. 🌻
I've discovered your channel yesterday whilst looking for eng lavender. And I'm so love with how beautifully and calmly you give info out. Really enjoyed this video too. You've a beautiful garden ❤
Thank you so much - I appreciate you letting me know - it's very encouraging....and welcome to my channel!
Great information. Thank you.
Thank you! 🌻
Your sunset is an hour later than mine right now, we'll be a couple weeks before it's getting dark at 9. Your foxglove by the shed looked 10 feet tall, my favorite flower, just wish it bloomed all summer. I love taking photos, just this morning I took one of my poppy, still with the bud hanging, I can't get over that skinny stem will lift that giant bud.
Poppies are amazing - I also am fascinated by how they straighten up at just the right time. I like the foxgloves more every year - the small ones for next year are already dotted about the garden.
Longest day in 12 days time!
@@paultsworld
12 days...say it isn't so.!! I hadn't even thought of that. For some reason I already feel like summer is about over. It's been so unseasonably cooler where I am, so many flowers are yet to open.
@@itsmewende I’m sure your plants will respond quickly once your days warm. I do love the long, long days of June but I have a tinge of sadness on 22nd knowing every day till 22 Dec will be slightly shorter. Our battle now is water as it hasn’t rained in ages.
@@paultsworld
Yes 2 mins a day less sunshine. Same here no rain for so long I don’t even remember when it did. I put the sprinkler on every other day for 10-15 mins. Moved 2 small plants afterwards this morning, the soil was still really hard. Hope your weekend is going well.
@@itsmewende thank you, we’ve just had some rain in England! Maybe a thunderstorm tomorrow as temperatures have just risen dramatically.
Thank you for the photo and video tips. I have been late for work taking photos in rare beautiful light! or when you look out the window and drop everything because the light in the garden is so stunning. I will adopt the video tip of starting low and panning up to reveal the whole landscape. I can do this zooming into the ice crystals and deciduous trees at the moment.
You are like me - don’t miss lovely light when you see it - it’s never there that long.
Gone a bit warm here - 29C today so thoughts far from ice crystals but they are very photogenic.
29 deg C !!! Wow. You ARE having a high pressure system and no rain. So the hose is out!? Surely it will rain soon. It is nice to have blue skies and sunshine as well though. We are having the most glorious sunny days for The King's Birthday weekend. (Frosts in the mornings) I planted 2 Malus trilobata ( Lebanese crab apple) today. Just have to pray the cockatoos don't destroy them. They usually turn new trees into a pile of sticks...you gotta love Australia... gardening is challenging!😂
It rained last night - yay - thunderstorm came through - we’re saved!
Ring-necked parakeets are now just a few hundred yards from my garden - not looking forward to them discovering my little oasis.
Enjoy your glorious sunshine. ☀️
🤣 Ring necked parakeets, are they in a neighbour's aviary? or are there escaped ones? Glad you had some rain, but with those temps you might need to water by Wednesday! Nice photos after rain!!
Sometime in the 1970s they either escaped or were released in the SE of England - since then they've bred like crazy and are marching (well probably flying, and squawking) their way over England and have arrived just 200 yards from my garden. So yes, we have 'wild' parrots in UK.
More rain last night so garden looking green again.
Thanks so much for these tips for photographing our gardens Paul - I will definitely try these with some late evening light. Your garden looks gorgeous in the evening - I love the mornings too, it’s so quiet and it’s wonderful to listen to the birds.
Absolutely Lindsay - early morning and late evening are the two best times for enjoying the garden - and the gorgeous light. I was actually listening to the birds at 4 this morning- you could hear them from each of the trees going off into the distance.
Perfect motivation! Thanks a lot ❤
Glad you liked my video 🌻
I have a Samsung phone and it has a feature where I can say "cheese" and it will take a photo. Helpful for selfies or when you want to keep your phone very stable to get closeups of flowers.
That is a great feature - very useful, would be good if every camera had that.
Lovely garden even the evening! 😍😍😍
Thank you. 🌻👍
Absolutely awesome Paul. Glorious 😊❤️
Thank you Vicki! 🌻
Great photo tips and garden tour. We in coastal BC have also had an extended period of high pressure and are so enjoying all our colourful shrubs in the sun. Garden looks so beautiful right now so have been taking many photos.
What a lovely place you live Doreen - I love living near the West coast of Britain - If I were to live in Canada, I’d head straight to BC right on your West coast!
Good for you taking lots of photos - it’s great looking back over the gardening year.
Super nice video, Paul.
It’s all about the lighting. :)
🌹🪻🌸🌻🌺🌼🌷💐
Thank you Sue. Nice light is certainly the key. 🌸👍
Can't wait to try. I always take photos in the morning but perhaps the light is too harsh. Many thanks for sharing and have a great weekend 😀
Morning time is also a nice time for photography - I like to take pictures at all times as the light falls on different plants at different times.
Try back-lit pictures in the late light this lovely weekend. Let me know how you get on Kim.
@Paul T's World I dashed out immediately, and to my delight, my one peony had popped open, the sun was in the perfect place 🥰. I took the same picture this morning and the result is not the same. There is a soft loveliness about that summer evening picture. Thanks Paul and have a great weekend 😀
Well done experimenting and getting a lovely picture of your peony - mine are just coming out as well.
You have inspired me to to take back lit images! Thank you so much. BTW it’s 7:00pm here and the sun is hiding a little
I do love back lit subjects which give such a beautiful rim light.
Thanks for a wonderful instructional video - your garden is so beautiful
Glad you liked my video and garden Rondalynn
Great garden tour.
Thank you!
Thank you for the wonderful tutorial. I've been sharing pictures and videos with my friends and family, and could never seem to do my plants or garden justice. Hopefully applying your tips, and with much practice, they will have an improved view. I love your channel. Thank you for all you do to share your expertise with us.
Very nice of you Colleen.
That’s lovely keeping family and friends up to date with your garden. Pictures never match the real thing but we can try 👍🌸.
gracias, por compartir toda esa belleza de jardín q usted le da vida 🌱🌺⭐️bendiciones
Gracias Tomasa, Es un placer. 🌻
Hello Paul. I just love the light during the golden hour and always try to take a walk around my garden at that time.Just as the bumblebees were visiting your foxglove, I could see one on a penstemon I just purchased 2 days ago. It's called "dark towers" and it's stunning. Thanks for the great tips. eileen
I’ve just looked up ‘Dark towers’ wow, it is a stunner! - just love the light flowers set off by the dark leaves In complementing colours. Glad you liked the warm light and long shadows Eileen.
It is a lovely garden !!!❤
Thank you 🌻
splendid fdoxgloves u got this year......i had a lovely grouped foxglove..but no 1st year plants so not lookin good for next summer..however i sowed seeds in summer direct in the gound to get a jump start on spring...
Some of your grouped foxgloves might have young foxgloves amongst them which will flower next year.
@@paultsworld i looked today and i think u are right..2 very small plants..and they look like foxys
@@ThePegasus101 excellent- they will develop and flower next year. 👍
It's a great video! Thanks a lot.
You’re welcome 🌻
Paul, I used an ND filter to take white Astrantia behind geranium Johnson’s blue into to sunlight, not a bad result.
Glad you got out with your camera and are pleased with the results. White & blue sounds a nice combination.
Thank you Paul for all the inspiration you give us. Seeing an image of a flower as you describe is something that doesn’t always come naturally, we need guidance such as you offer. Thank you so much.
I am delighted my video has encouraged more photography of our gardens. Thank you for letting me know.
Truly wonderful..
Thank you Zaleha!
@@paultsworld You are most welcome..Sir!
Say HELLO to all beautiful Flowers in your great Garden...Sir.
Good night from North Borneo.
Thank you - I will. Greetings to North Borneo.
Paul, Thank you so much for making these for us. If you see this comment I have a question on your Foxglove. 2nd time I’ve watched this. Seems they grow right out in the open sun and anywhere they please. So I bought some! Will I be able to put them in full sun here in 7a Oklahoma? It will be early evening before they get shade. I do appreciate you!❤
Hello Cindy, I am very pleased you enjoy my videos - it's very encouraging.
I believe technically they're a woodland- glade type of plant, so probably prefer dappled sunshine or part shade. In England they will grow readily in full sun - particularly if they have enough water. Having said that I've seen them grow out of old walls!
Your sun in Oklahoma is much hotter and stronger than ours so you'll have to see how they do.
Is there any way they could be put on the shady side of shrubs? Once they flower they will then produce 1,000s of little seeds so you can shake them off into your hand and cast them wherever you like and see where they thrive.
if you have bought a foxglove as a plant then it might well flower this year but they are biennial which means the seeds produce little plants one Summer/Autumn and the following Spring they shoot up and flower in early Summer - so it's a two year cycle. As you saw from my garden I am 'in' the cycle so have lots of little plants right now which will flower next year.
Good luck, let me know what happens!
@@paultsworld
Oh goodness! So grateful for your answer. This is valuable information I will follow. Thank you! I have a good understanding now. I took your Rhododendron advice and all is going well. I’m ecstatic about the Foxglove reseeding as they are so glorious. The ones I got were 1 gal on clearance and very large. Only $4-$7 ea i couldn’t barely believe it. I went to Manchester once to see a music performance at The Lowry. I loved it. The weather and people were wonderful!❤️Thank you so much!
Well done finding your foxgloves on clearance - I always check the clearance areas. So pleased you enjoyed Salford Quays - I visited Manchester and photographed the Lowry just two weeks ago.
@@paultsworld
Foxgloves in the ground in a perfect area thanks to your advice. Feeling confident now. They look majestic and classed up the area quite a bit! How I’d love to see the Lowry again. I actually got in a RUclips video at the concert there. Just my voice though lol! So interesting you’ve recently been there. It is a beautiful building, wish I could see your photographs. 💫
Wow - you’re a singer! I’ll see what I can do re my pictures - once I’ve worked on them…being doing a lot of photography recently.
Прекрасный сад. Положительная энергетика. И, вы позитивный человек. 🌷🤗🌝
That’s very nice of you - thank you 🌸

Thank you!
Hi. Thanks for the tips and tour. I know in at least one past video you mentioned talking clematis cuttings. Is it OK to use plastic pots and do you cover them with a plastic bag or something like that?
Hi Pauline, it is best to cover them to keep them humid. I find vermiculite a very good medium. A plastic pot would be OK. Soak the vermiculite- make sure there’s drainage, cover with a plastic bag and leave in a shaded area for a couple of weeks. You could take the bag off and spray a fine mist over it after a week - putting the plastic bag back on.
Don’t water again as the vermiculite holds the moisture and you don’t want the cutting to rot.
Take a number of cuttings in different pots to split the risk and increase chances. No direct sunshine at any time.
Many thanks. Will give all that a go😊
@@paulinecrispin121 good luck.
Don't worry, that's what I take pictures of, my flowers. But I can use the tips, especially don't jab.
Glad you liked the ‘don’t jab’ tip! Enjoy your photography. 🌻
How many square meters is your garden?
Very good question. It’s about 60 x 21 meters. So I suppose that makes it 1,260 sq metres. That is the whole plot including the house.
@@paultsworld thanks!
Now I know why my pictures are rubbish as I take them in the morning.I will now take them in the evening.
Morning can be good too - try both and see which you prefer.
Ваш сад прекрасен! 👏👏👏 Вечером действительно сад становится волшебным, каждый цветок светится изнутри! 🎉
Thank you. 🌻
You are right, the late evening light makes the plants glow beautifully.
