What's looking good: in July 2016

This was a tiny cutting from last year: alchemilla mollis

 

Oh, I don't mind a little bit of spreading (just ask my waistline ). That piece is near to the rear gate in a tiny stretch of soil above a 3ft wall; below the wall is the concrete path/patio. Now, if it chooses to make a home in the cracks of the patio in an effort to spread, that will be fine by me
Didn't know that about the flower arranging, so thank you! I might nip a piece off and pop it in the vase of flowers I have "on the go" and see how long it lasts

 

A few pictures from today.

 

Looking great Martin

I remember when you put all those Pansy seedlings in, seems a lifetime ago now

 

Your garden is looking lovely Martin and not a weed in sight on your lawn!

 

The gunnera is huge again,more machete pruning required

 

Salvia " Lipstick "



Rodanthemum " Casablanca "



Achillea " Terracotta "



Lobelia " Queen Victoria "



Platycodon



Fuchsia " Lady Thumb "

 

Not sure on this one:


Cereopsis 'Sterntaler':


Cereopsis 'Mardi Gras':


Sweet Peas (or as my lad calls them, 'Sneezers'):

 

Some July views of the best bit ...

 

Hi nFrost,

The first two pics are both Lobelia Erinus, grown everywhere as a summer bedding plant but is actually a tender perennial.
By the looks of how it
growing I'd say it was self sown

 

Hi Michael,
Your garden is absolutely stunning

 

Thank you, I'll keep an eye out for seeds.

 

Thank you @Anthony Rogers

 

Many thanks Anthony, yes it does seem a long time ago.

Many thanks S, i am very pleased with how things are coming on, i still have a fair bit of work to do but i can now see the light at the end of the tunnel ,

My lawn is quite easy to maintain its only small, something that flowers yellow has been the main issue this year its been a to get rid of, still a few bits about here and there,
