I'm thinking of growing the Mona lavender along with iresine this year.
Do you think they will both like a simi lar shady position? @longk

 

@pete - no reason why not. The only issue that I can see is that the Iresine would probably prefer higher humidity than the Plectranthus. Maybe.

 

Grapes look a bit small.
Have a guess?

Clementine flowers, very scented.

Aloe ferrox, getting big now.

Coelogyne cristata.

This is a first, nothing special but a Magnolia I sowed 31yrs ago, and the first flower

 

Brunnera Jack Frost





Tulip Ballerina






Mix of hostas - Francee and Marmalade and a few others whose names escape me right now.




Aquilegia

 

The first Echeveria to bloom in 2019 is Echeveria lilacina.............

It's a good doer...........

 

I've got this one blooming, don't know the name though.

 

Sloes @pete ?

Edit: No not sloes blueberries perhaps?

 

@pete - are they mahonia berries? Come on, please tell us!

 

Nope,

Nope

 

Thanks for guessing,
Trachycarpus seeds, first year I've managed to get them.
A seedling tree flowered first time last year, only male out of 7 plants.

 

I would never have guessed that.

 

Wow! Mine never did that. Are they edible?

 

Well no, not if you value your teeth anyway
