July Photo Competition

There and I thought Canna's could be heavy and dark - I didn't realise how light the leaf could be.

The dahlia - I don't know (hanging head in shame) - its one I've had for some 5 years, and I didn't keep the label. Lift it after the first frosts, wash off the soil and then leave it on paper out of direct sunlight in the greenhouse til early spring before starting it again. Seems to work for me

 

here is one I love

of my corn (see other photos on pbase account for tub of corn)

Nathan, could they be Ludwigia palustris? :D

Nick.

 

Oh my - what the heck was that?

 

Me thinks it's Hampshire Purslane - must be some southern "in joke" :confused:

 

Ludwigia palustris,false LOOstrife,
a.k.a. The BOG bean. Just an idea :rolleyes:

 

hi, some peaches from my greenhouse,

Thanks Nathan - going back I can see it but before that :rolleyes:

Hans those peaches look lovely - how long before they are eating ripe?

:D I can assure you the smell around there wasn't like anything anyone would have been prepared to eat :eek: :D

 

Yeah, nice peaches Hans,
Aqua, why did you take a picture of floating toilets? I bet you wished you hadn't now.

 

Soz Paladin, (big groan for the puns!) this is my anorak side coming out, but where I come from bog bean is Menyanthes trifoliata & Ludwigia is purslane - hence thinking it was a southern "thang" :rolleyes: or is it a knightly thing

 

my third and final photo :D

 

If I say 'hecky thump' will my pic appear? Can't seem to get it right yet.
