What's looking good in July 2017

Hiya longk, you can sow seed of guanajuato but I take cuttings in the summer.
Very, very tender form of patens so winter protection in most places

 

Having a bash with some Zinnias again this year as they seem to last ages when used as a cut flower.

 

Salvia sclarea has straightened up and is looking good now.............

My Abutilion has probably passed away. Don't like being moved when we moved house.

 

That's odd. They're generally quite shallow rooted and we've even popped them back in with a stake when high winds have uprooted them (A.Suntense).

 

Just a brown stick. Going to leave it just incase it comes back again next year

 

Some blossoms from the garden

 

Excellent Shiney . Lovely plants
Re Evening Primrose nature has provided us with her bounty again on the towans behind........a long avenue of them with Vipers Bugloss.
She has given us red, pink and white valerian out there too.
Not hot on wild flowers.......must read up on them......but all sorts leading to the beach and topped with the wonderful smell of gorse

 

Echinacea purpurea Magnus.

 

A good year for Lavender.
I planted these when two inches high.
