What's Looking Good In August 2013

I would have thought some of the deciduous Agapanthus should be hardy even in the 'Arctic'!

 

It's a real gem Jenny - one of my "Desert Island Plants"! It was outdoors for most of the winter taking several degrees of frost, but went into the shed for the Arctic spells.

 

@simbad looks great to think its one of my own seedlings you have done me proud I am really chuffed to bits that it has done so well under your care of course.

Poppy breaking through.

This is a load of flowers growing from a bee and butterfly shake and rake I bought and sowed. I put them in an old wheel barrow to grow. As a kind of rustic effect as if the flowers were wild and taken over sort of thing lol. Well I like it....
The colour is great

Hi Spruce - I think the hydrangea is Vanille fraise, it's really lovely and quite delicate looking.

 

Silu - love the double one it's very eye-catching!

 

Love that Bee and Butterfly shake mix Alan

Of the six Mongolian giant sunflowers I planted at the start of the year, one has survived the weather & is just coming into flower:
