Lovely pictures Apple Blossom.

 

Thank you Sheal, I've been playing this afternoon with the new lens as the sun came out (I think it was with you most of the day ), its just brilliant and I think I'm understanding my camera a little more now. There were so many butterflies today but they are so nervous I envy people who take good photos of them... no sooner did I zoom them in they were gone!

 

Sorry I forgot to ask do you know what the 5th photo plant is, its big and bushy with lots of orange flowers, colour is fantastic

 

It's difficult to guess without seeing the whole plant but the flower looks like Crocosmia but I wouldn't consider that to be big and bushy.

 

Thank you Sheal, I'll take a photo of one tomorrow and post it so that you can see the full picture

 

Some wonderful skies over the weekend

 

Thank you Woo, we were very lucky with the weather and the sun rises were just breath taking, unfortunately I didn't take my Lumix camera so they were only taken with my IPhone.

 

Good afternoon @Sheal this is the plant I mentioned in my earlier post I have a few of them dotted around the garden lovely colouring... I think you right I have just been looking at Crocosmia and that's the one.... thank you for your help

 

You're welcome Apple Blossom. I've been trying to get rid of Crocosmia for years, like many other plants, once you've got it - it's difficult to get rid of.

 

Really, that's interesting, I don't mind having it where it is but wouldn't want it all over the garden so hoping that it does spread?

 

Hi Apple Blossom,

Your photos are fantastic and your garden looks stunning.
Keep up all the good work

PS.... I love Crocosmia ( Montbretia ). It's one of the bulbs I'm looking out for over the next few months.

 

Ah thank you Anthony I'm currently very busy re-building the garden pond have you seen my thread, its going to be hard work but hopefully will get there with a little bit of help from my GC friends
