Leonardslee Gardens, West Sussex, UK | View with multi-colored flowering azaleas across small lake towards house (16 of 19)

Leonardslee Gardens: Landscape Garden and lake views

For a few weeks in May of each year, Leonardslee Gardens in West Sussex, UK, erupt into a spectacular display of the most amazing color combinations of flowering rhododendrons and azaleas. The green, wooded valley gardens then turn into a place of vibrant colors and outstanding natural beauty. Filled with the scent of the massed azalea plantings the whole area becomes a forest paradise. Visitors have often described its beauty and tranquility as being like ‘heaven on earth’.

This photograph, with a small lake in the foreground, shows the kaleidoscopic colors of the wonderful azalea plantings on the side of the valley nearest the house.

For many years, tens of thousands of visitors have enjoyed the picture-postcard qualities of this Grade 1 historic garden. Unfortunately, the gardens are now closed to the public as they have been sold to an international businessman.

Details: Leonardslee Gardens is a truly outstanding English landscape garden having a Grade 1 Historic Garden status (English Heritage Register). It covers about 240 acres (97 Hectares) in a wooded valley, contains seven lakes and is extensively planted with azaleas, ancient rhododendrons (some well over 100 years old), acers and camellias - all with a delightful under planting of bluebells in spring.

The great Victorian plant collector, Sir Edmund Loder (who gave his name to the large flowered and scented Loderi Rhododendron Hybrids) purchased the estate in 1889 and planted large numbers of Rhododendrons there. Sir Giles Loder later planted an extensive collection of camellias at Leonardslee. The estate remained in the hands of five generations of the Loder family until 2010 when it was sold to an international businessman. However, the Loder Rhododendron nursery was not sold and is still in business.

Location: Leonardslee Gardens, Lower Beeding, Horsham, West Sussex, England, RH13 6PP, UK. UK Map references: OSGB36 Grid ref:: TQ220259: Map tile ref: TQ22NW40

Links: A more detailed history of Leonardslee Gardens is available on Wikipedia. Leonardslee nursery is still run by Chris Loder and his website contains useful information on Rhododendron Loderi, its varieties and hybrids.

Filled with the scent of the massed azalea plantings the whole area becomes a forest paradise. Visitors have often described its beauty and tranquility as being like ‘heaven on earth’.

This is a picture of the 'mossy gill' at Leonardslee gardens, where a small stream of water trickles down the valley to nourish the verdant green grass between walls of yellow azaleas.

For many years, tens of thousands of visitors have enjoyed the ‘picture postcard’ qualities of this Grade 1 historic garden. Unfortunately, the gardens are now closed to the public as they have been sold to an international businessman.

Daisy Flower!!!

Daisy Flower!!!

Image by Natesh Ramasamy
Asteraceae or Compositae (commonly referred to as the aster, daisy, or sunflower family), are an exceedingly large and widespread family of vascular plants. The group has more than 22,750 currently accepted species, spread across 1620 genera and 12 subfamilies. In terms of numbers of species, Asteraceae is rivaled only by Orchidaceae. (Which of the two families is actually larger is unclear, owing to uncertainty about exactly how many species exist in each family). The largest composite genera are Senecio (1,000 species), Vernonia (1,000 species), Centaurea (700 species), Cousinia (600 species), Helichrysum (550 species), and Artemesia (550 species).

19. Coreopsis lanceolata Linnaeus, Sp. Pl. 2: 908. 1753.
Perennials, 10–30(–60+) cm. Aerial nodes proximal to first peduncle usually 1–3(–5+), distalmost 1–3 internodes 1–2(–8+) cm. Leaves: basal and cauline on proximal 1/4–1/3(–1/2) of plant heights; petioles 1–5(–8+) cm; blades simple or with 1–2+ lateral lobes, simple blades or terminal lobes lance-ovate or lanceolate to oblanceolate or lance-linear, 5–12 cm × 8–15(–18+) mm. Peduncles (8–)12–20(–35+) cm. Calyculi of lance-ovate to lance-linear or linear bractlets 4–8(–12) mm. Phyllaries deltate to lance-deltate, 8–12+ mm. Ray laminae yellow, 15–30+ mm. Disc corollas 6–7.5 mm, apices yellow. Cypselae (2.6–)3–4 mm, wings ± spreading, ± chartaceous, entire. 2n = 26 (+ 0–4B).
Flowering (Mar–)May–Jul(–Aug). Sandy soils, ditches and roadsides, other disturbed sites; 30–500(–1000+) m; B.C., Ont.; Ala., Ark., Fla., Ga., Ill., Ind., Kans., Ky., La., Md., Mich., Miss., Mo., N.J., N.Mex., N.Y., N.C., Ohio, Okla., Pa., S.C., Tenn., Tex., Vt., Va., W.Va., Wis.
Plants that have been called Coreopsis lanceolata var. villosa Michaux often have 5+ aerial internodes 6+ cm long proximal to the first peduncle; they may merit recognition as a distinct taxon or may be hybrids (or derivatives) from crosses between C. lanceolata and C. pubescens.

Origin: Native to central and south-east United States of America

Weed Type(s): Weed, Naturalised, Native Weed, Garden Escape, Environmental Weed, Cultivation Escape

Notes: Coreopsis is a large genus of about 80 species of annual or perennial herbs. Sometimes called Tickseed in reference to the appearance of the seeds which are wind-dispersed. Coreopsis lanceolata is an erect annual or short-lived perennial forming a clump of dark green, deeply-lobed leaves up to 1m tall. Flowers are yellow on long leafless stalks.

It is a weed of agricultural and wasteland in South Africa. In Western Australia it is a garden escape along the roadside between Perth and Albany and it is known in the Blue Mountains in NSW. In Queensland it was first recorded as naturalised in Kingaroy in 1944 and is currently spreading as a roadside weed from Tin Can Bay to the NSW border. It is also abundant in the Stanthorpe district and has the potential to become a major ground cover weed in forested areas in coastal and sub-coastal districts of Queensland and NSW.

While the others wandered off to take pictures of sand, I found a few wild flowers. Then I was accosted by an xyl from Lanark (with a pronounced Canadian accent and no upper garments.) Much amusement...

Whorled Wood Aster

Image by BlueRidgeKitties
It's always tricky to ID asters because there are so many of them, but I'm pretty confident this one is the Whorled Wood Aster or Mountain Aster, Oclemena acuminata. It was flowering along a stretch of the Appalachian Trail running through Appalachian spruce-fir forest at Carver's Gap. Since it was getting dark, I had to use the flash to get a picture at all, so it's not the best one ever, but the best I have at the moment for this plant species.
