Campsis is one of my favourites krissy, mines doing its usual stuff on the house wall.
Campsis "Indian summer"

 

Kryssy Kathy and Pete, all stunning pics and lovely gardens, well done, makes all the hard work worth it

 

Truer words never spoken.

The Campsis is looking fantastic here also. I would have one if it were evergreen. Kathy3, I can't keep my Gazanias alive for love nor money. Love your Marigold carpet, krissy.

 

I couldn't believe it when I discovered these Cyclamen earlier which are in their "rest" period with no water for blooming in the winter ....

 

Everything seems to be going a bit crazy this year LoL doesn't it? I've got spring shrubs flowering again for a second time and one of my trees (don't know the name of course) started to turn red as if it was autumn about 3 weeks ago when we had such cold wet weather. Fortuntely, it realises it is summertime now.

Pete - what can I say??? Your Campsis is beautiful. They are all out in bloom here right now and when my neighbours are not looking I'll try to get a photo of theirs. It puts mine to shame - as does yours. As you like them so much I'll see if I can find a REALLY good one on my travels.

Well done all

 

Pete, is your Campsis grafted on to the Caesalpinia? :D
A Beautiful specimen.

 

strongy, my Caesalpinia is in sleep mode ... maybe it's too hot for it and I need to try again in the Autumn?

 

Thanks, all.
LOL I also have cyclamen flowering right now, but I suppose thats no real supprise over here.

 

Lol cyclamen do usually have a little flowering period about this time mine are flowering now.

 

Hello walnut, hello walnut ... I could appreciate it there but not here with no rain for months and I'm not watering them in 30 odd degree weather. I've had them a couple of years and I don't remember this in the past. It's only two out of three so the one is resting nicely.

 

Like the little opening reply to Walnut LOL, very amusing :D

Send some of that 30 odd degree heat to me please. Mrs Pip and myself definately live in the wrong part of Britain as far as the weather is concerned
:(

 

I'm sure he posted twice, pip, but I don't think you can delete an entire message ... maybe I was still asleep and thought I saw two! :rolleyes:

The spell of good weather seems to be bypassing you, and walnut actually ... I sent him some sunshine the other day and it only lasted the morning! :( I'll always share my sunshine, even if it's only by my pictures!

 

pete your campsis is stunning,what a colour


lol this is my gazanias second year i think it will outgrow the rockery,but dont want to lose it by moving it,anyone got any help they can give me?
