How my garden is looking today

He garden seems to have grown overnight!

Took some pics in this glorious sunshine, and it's become very colourful

I've added some more bits until the perennials are all up for colour, and the dahlias, crocosmia, ricinus iris and begonias are on the move, as are 2 of the musa now!



My newly acquired chamerops humilis




The rheum has gone ballistic and has a flower spike waiting to burst


The gunnera in the black planter is on the move too, but is slow



The small border by the garage, newly planted heucheras, phormium, grasses, and senetti's. the crocosmia are growing nicely, and the hostas are making a show.

 

al n....your garden looks fabulous The Rheum does it for me

 

looks great
your hosta are at least two weeks ahead of mine

 

Thanks!!

The rheum is fab, it's only grown like this in the last week, lots of water!

Only a few hosta are up, there are about 7 that are just poking through, so they are behind.
The ricinus are yet to show although are on the move, iris, begonia, etc are still in the small pots, the ligularias, euphorbias, heucheras are going great guns, the acer is looking fab and both my tree ferns and my cyathea australis have lots of knuckles and fronds emerging. Hopefully another
3-4 weeks it will look ace! Well pleased how things have lasted and survived thought the winter and late frosts.

Cannas are very slow though, not a peep yet from them. The cifera that I have in planters are doing ok, slow growth though as well until it gets warmer! The 2 Washingtonia robustas I have, one planted, one in a planter, were left out and are doing great, as are the trachycarpus.

The foliage of the sambucus' s are stunning, the black lace in a planter near the kitchen doors is so tactile.

 

Absolutley stunning

 

If this weather keeps up the Cannas will come on... my Black lace is looking a little bit sad but the weather is turning...fingers crossed....
Note to self...got to get a Gunnera....

 

Just took the chamerops out of its pot and planted it, had to cut the pot off!
