What's looking good in July 2009

I love this thread, it's a real spirit lifter. :D

 

Seen a few at the GC yesterday although not as nice at that one!! Sadly they were £4.99 each though so decided not to get them. Am definately getting more next year though!!! This is my first year of having Dahlia's and I must admit I seem to be getting quite a thing for them ... just lovely

 

I also love the pic of that bed - very me! Mine all look a bit more clumsy than that as I moved in here in February and I'm working with what I have already (most of which I had no clue was there til it came up. I've put a lot in, but then I get these bright yellow daisies and things springing up, which are gorgeous, but play havoc with my intended colour scheme. So therefore my garden is a riot of colour scheme this year.

Lovely photos everyone. Really inspiring me

 

Your Daliah's are gorgeous Bob, Loving the Honka, The One's you sent me are Huge, All that Rain.. Im expecting to see flowers any minute, Can't wait

 

All those lovely pictures - and now for something completely different. This is Macleaya cordata - Plume Poppy. It has a flower with no discernable petals. Oh - and it grows to about 15 feet. :D

 

buddleia

super pics everyone here is a few i took on my walk.

 

This makes me feel all summery.
It's my tallest sunflower reaching onwards and upwards!

 

great pic jazmine took these pics at my friends today.

 

Lots of colour there everyone. There's not much here at the moment but I have my Begonia argenteo-guttata (Trout Begonia) a cane variety in full bloom. These clusters are monstrous, wouldn't fit in two hands. There's at least a dozen clusters now. The leaves can get to 30cms long. I had it's parent reach 10 foot in the UK (indoors of course in an atrium). This one is outdoors in the shade ....
