Red Borders at Hidcote

The red borders are in their glory in September even in the rain.  It's interest to note that the borders are not mirrors, even though the same plants are repeated on both sides.  The plants repeat within each side, but not with a strict rhythm.  So your eye moves the length of the border.  There are plants that are unique to each side (see the cimfuga half way back); these plants serve as explanation points and stop the eye from moving too quickly.  All very subtle and sophisticated.
