What's Looking Good In August 2023

I'm pleased with the Lewisias since I've never had any success with them in the past

 

My little Abutilon I did from seed a couple of years ago is turning into a nice little shrub. A bit hazy this morning ...

 

Iochroma purpurea, December's cold snap took this down to a stump, shoot eventually appeared April/May.

Colletia hystrix lovely scented white flowers on a very spiky framework

Gloriosa superba, different to the other one I've got.

 

Lovely iochroma flower @NigelJ ! I thought I'd lost an impatiens over the winter but it struggled back too, though too late to do much.

 

@CarolineL My Impatiens were very slow to get going, apart from tinctoria. It didn't help that the cold spring was followed by a dry spell. I resorted to lifting one and potting it up in the greenhouse, even there it was slow to do much. A couple of others I moved to damper spots where they are thriving.

 

I also think that Iochroma is impressive @NigelJ , the Colletia looks good as well.

Lagerstroemia is coming out at last.




Mussella flowers opening.


A general view.


Found a few peaches on my neglected tree in the far corner of the garden, surprising as it pretty much shaded out by bigger trees now, still more to come.

 

Wow! Fantastic general view! Love it

 

I've had rhodochiton in a basket a few years ago @JWK which I liked yours look very well . I added fuchsia blacky to give it a top to bottom amount of black/red flowers

 

Absolutely love that. Sadly did not do well with me, in the ground!

 

Now the heat is not so severe, more buds are developing on my beauties ...
