My Cottage Garden,..glengarry23.

Hello Philip

So pleased you and your blooms are back with us. The Hydrangea is stunning.

 

I am very pleased to see your beautiful flowers and glad that you're okay. Thank you for posting!

 

@Victoria and @CanadianLori ,..thank you to both of you for the welcome back ,..i was taking it easy and was doing well,..then i forgot for a few moments,.. then it was oops,

 

Thanks Upsydaisy,..i feel even more clear headed today,..i made a blunder by lifting something on my own,..i should have known better but the temptation was strong ,..i have Delphiniums which have reached a metre high and about to bloom though i feel they wont,..cold weather arriving.

 

All below are No ID roses.

 

Beautiful and the top three are magical.

 

Oh, I love those roses @glengarry23 ! I love flowers that not only offer eye candy but also give a lovely fragrance.

I've never grown roses. I guess because they scare me as I am a shy pruner and would probably ruin whatever I chose.

Thanks for sharing!

and sorry to hear you lost caution for a moment. Swift recovery!

 

Welcome back Philip, it's good to hear you are feeling better.

Your roses are stunning! I miss them all in my previous garden and the few I have here don't like the climate or soil. I'll dig them up and try them in pots but may have to give them up completely.

 

@Sheal ,..thank you Sheal,..oh keep trying with the roses and take cuttings where ever you can,..you will find a rose bush to grow where you are.

We were warned of heavy frost arriving,..alas it arrived and there was a big change in the garden this morning.

Snapdragons were in bloom but now hit by frost.






The Delphinium which must have thought it was Spring still looks good.



Still trying to bloom.



A No ID rose,..its companions were frozen solid.



Clematis Freckles,..still going strong.








Peruvian Lily still showing a few blooms.






Another No ID rose.



Hucherella 'Sweet Tea'

 

Philip, I am surprised you get frost in your little protected garden and up against the wall of the house.

 

I like your Alstroemeria (spelling?) I have collected some seeds again this year and will try to get them to germinate. Maybe this time I'll get lucky!

 

Ah yes Victoria a surprise to me as well,..anything i grow close to the house tends to keep growing and is never damaged by frost,..this frost didn't appear all over the garden,..just in spots and the Hydrangeas were never damaged?

 

Lori,..you got the spelling correct ,..i nearly always add the latin name but was too tired to add it to all the images,..despite our frost my Alstroemeria 'Time Valley' is still looking good.

I took cuttings from the root this year,..just cut off a section with a knife.

 

Not bothered by frost were my self seeded Foxgloves,..there are a lot more than in the image below and i must transplant many seeing they grew in gaps where they would not survive.




Asters.



Cape Fuchsia 'Phygelius' 'funfare orange'

 

Your Asters are beautiful, mine always turn to a brown mush with all our Welsh rain so I've got rid of most of them. Nice to see they look so pretty in your garden
I must get a Phygelius , It is now on my wish list !
