What's Looking Good In July

So lovely everyone!!

 

Lovely pictures, everyone. I really enjoy looking at them all.


My passionflower 'Purple Passion' has opened its first flower at last. It's scented, but not particularly strongly as far as I can make out. Mind you, a bit of sunshine and warmth might help.

​

I love shasta daisies. They're more or less indestructible and always put on a great show.

​

I've had this red alstroemeria growing in a pot for several years now. Unfortunately I don't know its name. Slugs and snails love it, as you can see.

​

 

Beautiful shot of the Passiflora, ClaraLou.
Have you seen any Lily Beetles or earwigs on your Alstroemeria .... they adore all mine

 

I haven't noticed any, Louise, but maybe I should take a closer look. I know there are plenty of lily beetles around from my futile attempts to grow Madonna lilies . I was always too soft hearted to kill the beetles - they're so pretty!
