First thread ,few pics hopefully

hopefully the pics are in the attachments . If anyones wondering what the silver thing on the right hand side is its the protection for the banana plant . Not pretty but it works . Looks like a SNP spaceship but unluckily its not

 

Hi John,
This is a picture of my Canna I mentioned earlier. I hope it will be in full bloom next week. I hope to be able to enjoy it and let you enjoy it next week. The weather hasn't been extremely bad this week. Just 4 large pots and a rose arch fell down. We saw much worse weather before.

 

Thats a nice plant looks healthy .nice colours through the leaves. Looks like lots going on in your garden

 

It's a big commitment then but, like you say, lovely on a sunny day. When we've been to Spain I've always admired the bananas in people's gardens - also how big and fabulous they get those poisonous bell shaped flowers (datura?) kind of dripping over the roads, similar to how fuschia can be in this country.

 

A few more pics. [] []

 

Storm Francis wreaking havoc. Three new leaves just opened up and ripped already.

 

John, I admire your garden!

 

Musa basjoo always ends up looking tatty I find.

 

Thanks black orchid. Its een in better condition . I've been waiting almost ten weeks for a new shed to be delivered. Due to co vid theres a shortage of wood and labour with people not working .Theres things all over the garden that belong in the shed and my greenhouse is full of stuff too.

 

Seems that way pete.

 

Hi John,
I promised you that I would post a picture of my Canna in blossom at last. Here it is

 

I think that some people are in a way shocked at times, when perhaps seeing some strange plant. Top marks for growing exotics, but even converting our garden, it can still be a tiny gem in a wilderness.

 

Everything comes to he who waits. Lovely. My canna that i grew from seed last year has flowered and the purple canna like yours has 2 new buds ready to flower. All i need now is the wind to come and destroy them

 

A few salvias beside the canna and another picture of the canna from seed and next years project to be cleared and all the pants on the deck planted there .just ordered 24 lobelia starship scarlet for there as well
