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 .
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 🤗
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
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.
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.
🙋♂️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 🤗💚💚💚
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. 🌻
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.
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 ❤
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.
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.

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 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.
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.
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 😀
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.
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...
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.
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.
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 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 UA-cam 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. 💫
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.
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.
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.
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. 👍
Thank you,Paul,you make things look so easy and pretty
Thank you Suzie 🌻
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 👍
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. 🌻

Thank you Lil 🌻
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.
