What's Looking Good in June .....

Yes, it does have a nice outlook. House is rubbish though. Just a box on the end of a row of other boxes. Used to be a barn years ago then was converted to a house then previous owner ripped the innards out of it including taking out all the walls, ceilings and fitments on the first floor - and then of course we bought it. Brits wouldn't have it any other way!!

 

Yeah it looks great Kryssy

 

Lobivia, always does well.



Delosperma cooperi

 

pete, you do come up with them! Love that first one, Lobivia, but your second one that you call Delosperma cooperi looks awfully like Lampranthus here ????????

 

Nice one Pete......you cant beat a bit of colour on a dull Wednesday night......cheers.

 

Its a ground hugger LOL, unlike lampranthus,and its hardy, but the flowers are very similar.
Dull here as well roders :(

 

Today's after the rain pics

The first nasturtium bloom


The potted hydrangea


One of a our fuschias.

 

Lampranthus is a ground hugger, pete ... at least here it is! Must check this one out, obviously same family?

 

Nice pics Mike,
LOL, I have a lampranthus and its a foot tall, delosperma is only about 2-3 ins.

 

Lovely photos, Dorsetmike. Your Hydrangea is about along with mine, growthwise.

pete, I don't have any Lampranthus a foot tall, maybe half! Yours does like something more I'd like than mine, however, as mine get "straggly" and I have to be cruel to be kind and chop them back constantly ... ha, maybe that's why they are not a foot tall? :rolleyes:

 

Begonia Non Stop orange.

Petunia Surfinia Blue Vein.

Sunsatia Mango (Nemesia)

Fuchsia Trichophylla Fireworks.

 

Gorgeous plants Strongy - love that Begonia. Is it true they are hard to grow? - never had the courage to try them as whenever I've tried to store things over winter they just pack up on me - and you have to do that with Begonias don't you?

Is Nemisia what I call Monkey Flower?

 

Re: Hydrangers my Dad used to put rusty nails and bits of tin etc under them to make em blue but that was in the olden days !

 

Kryssy it's mimulus or musk that is called monkey flower if you squeeze the bottom of the flower in and out it's supposed to look like a monkey?.

 

Oh, thanks Walnut. I'll try to remember that. I used to have some monkey flowers a couple of years ago - you'd think I'd remember the difference.

So much to learn............ so little time.

Who said that??
