Kedi-Gato's garden

Thanks Sis, and sorry, thought everyone would know, so I'll just name the less obvious ones -


First lot -

1 - Castor Oil Plant

2 - wild Majoran or Oragano

3 - Spirea

4 - don't know, someone will hopefully ID it for me

5, 6 & 7 are known to everyone


Second lot -

1 - Japanese Anenome

2 - Eucomis (my garden pineapple plant, now in bloom)

3 - close-up of Eucomis flowers

 

Sorry, Sis, these are not plants I can grow and didn't in the UK either.

You must remember there are lots of newbies here who haven't got a clue and trying to learn ... like me as I really only sort of know Med stuff ... I suggest you name as most of us do or say you don't know and can someone identify. Maybe I'm just jealous ...

kedi-gato
your plants are superb
love the eucomis, is it grown in your garden
or is it in a pot?
it reminds me of crown imperial,mine came up blind this year dont think it liked my soil
was going to lift it and pot up,what do you think thanks kathy3

 

Love your photo's KG.It seems like Euchomis are the in bulbs at the moment.I have about four growing but the ones Mr Kandy said to leave in the garden failed to show this year.Luckily I overwintered some in the greenhouse.All your plants are fantastic.Well done to you

 

Kathy, sorry I haven't answered before now. My Eucomis is in the garden and stays there the whole year round. This one is on a south-facing wall so it is rather protected but the other one that sowed itself out some years ago, is in an open space and we don't even give it winter cover. So they seem to be quite hardy even though they look rather delicate.

Kandy, thanks too. Ours have bloomed every year since we had them. The second lot that sowed themselves out, are only now beginning to bloom, whereas the others have been doing so for a couple of weeks.

Oh, we just have ordinary garden soil Kathy.

 

I took a few pics from a different angle -








Now from the usual viewpoint -










This one is for you Sis - looking at the inside of Hubby's white Brugmansia -

 

kedi-gato the second one is beautiful its a would make a great picture for a delicious box of chocolates hmm

Thank you Kathy.

 

hi kedi-gato beautiful the red one is stunning

 

Thanks high kype, it is a begonia. We made a mixed planter this year using this red begonia, 2 yellow Tagetes (one lighter and one darker), blue lobelia and pink Semperflorens (sorry, I don't know the English name of them). The result is so lovely that we will do such a mix again next year.

 

thats a good idea mite try that my self thank you kedi-gato

 

high kype - I knew I had a photo of it somewhere. I posted this just over 3 weeks ago and now it is really bushy -

 

thanks kedi-gato i will try it out next year :eek:
