What's looking good in August 2012

A few things are getting going at long last!

The first two are both Impatiens. This is I.niamniamensis which I popped into the ground in May this year................


The second is I.morsei. I had to put it outdoors a few weeks ago as it had an attack of red spider mite, and since then it has thrived - I put it outdoors earlier in the year and it struggled.................


Dipplarrhena moraea has been in bloom since May, the best that it's ever done for me!


Alstromeria psittacina................


Finally, Eucomis comosa "Sparkling Burgundy".................

 

Bees thinks it looks great as well

 

That I.morsei.`and comosa are stunning.

 

Just for you here's another couple of pics of this stunner





First flower just opened on this little lovely, can't remember it full name, some form of Gladiolus??

 

The Hibiscus is truly special Bilbo.

Before Silver Surfer sees this, I can tell you that the name of the Glad relative is Acidanthera (murilea?)

 

LongK,
I.niamniamensis . I was given one yesterday. Are you growing it outdoors? Not able to remain outside in Winter surely?
Jenny

 

Thanks Capney - two of my faves!

 

I stuck it in the ground for the summer Jenny. In a few weeks I'll slice the stem up into sections and pot these up.

 

What are the seed heads Shiney? Pretty sure I saw some, the same, a couple of weeks back and wondered what they were

 

I can't wait till my phytolacca look like this Shiney as you know I grew some from seed after seeing yours,mine are only around around 18inches tall in their first year but a couple have a few flowers opening , love em.

 

That's the boy! Thanks. Something to buy from next year's charity fund raising

 

Love that alstromeria LongK
