WHATS LOOKING GOOD IN JULY 2019

A few pics taken this afternoon.

 

Campanula rotundifolia today

 

Nice Jenny....I’m growing fond of campanulas again
Salix hakiro nishiki (never sure I spell it correctly) catching the morning sun

 

@Upsydaisy Pollinators must love your garden, Upsydaisy! Looks gorgeous, too!
My Verbena bonariensis 'Lollipop' hasn't even flowered yet here in the Midlands.

Nick

 

My cosmos and tithonia hasn't flowered yet but they'll go on till the frost when they do flower.

@Verdun have you got any pics of your tithonias please?

 

Yes Logan....
Not as tall yet as last year....I think everything is 3 weeks or so later.....but been flowering for couple of weeks at least. Half expected last week’s gales to have flattened them but they were fine.
A couple of clumps here.
They should reach 6’ plus in couple of weeks

 

Just a common-or-garden potentilla ...Elizabeth I think....but it gives a nice couple of metres or so of colour in this corner I think. Plus the smell of the lavendar trapped under the heat today is intoxicating.

 

Parodia mammulosa...............

Pelargonium crispum has a very strong lemon scent to the foliage.............

What was left of Echinopsis subdenudata when I got home from work...........

 

Thanks @Nikolaos , yes I must say we are certainly buzzing here!

 

I really like flowers of the Helenium ‘ilk’ @Verdun . Something about their...simplicity

 

I know what you mean Freddie. I love the simple charm of heleniums

 

The first of the sweet peas...

 

Penstemons.




Alstreomeria Indian Summer attracting lots of bees.

How much pruning and when for the Potentilla..mine have gone a bit leggy/woody...
