Lovely

 

beautiful Strongy

 

All lovely Strongy...especially love the Eucomis

 

Some more.
The back border is a little overcrowded, under estimating the growth of some of the plants so some dividing and thinning may be required later in the year.


The Washy is picking up after a couple of leaves browned and the Plectranthus Silver shield and Persicaria are spreading rapidly.
The ground is that colour, dark grey when wet, sickly light grey when dry (and very poor) but I could 'dig' a two foot hole with my hands it's so light.


Wall baskets. The Lobelia are single seedlings from last autumn/winter that were self seeded growing in the ground near where the baskets were. Some had taken -5c in December and were thriving so I pricked them out into trays and overwintered them in the greenhouse and had 50 free Lobelia.


Excuse the halo it was at 7 this morning in the sun.

 

It's looking great Strongy.

 

I like the Callistemon - looks quite quirky.

 

GA, it is darker than I expected, the next one will be Citrinus Splendens which is bright red.
I recently bought Callistemon Hot Pink which when it flowers next year may look similar to Inferno.

 

Love it all Strongy.
Jenny
