What’s looking good in August 2019

The grasses are coming into their own on our front verge.






The sun has washed out the colour so I'll try and take another shot

 

Some dahlias cut for table vases when having visitors




Nature's perfection


A massive 17" diameter and dozens of them on the plant






Cytisus battandieri (pineapple tree) is starting to flower for a second time this year (usual time is early June)





First of the Cobaea flowers


and a close second just about to open

 

@pete they're still going strong and just opening

 

Not a very good photo as the light was a bit low under the trees but the Cyclamen are just starting to flower again


This flower bed will be solid with Cyclamen in a few weeks (usually flowers April, July and November) so a bit late


A bit of propagation going on






Wild area around the veg plot




Apples and pears doing well but have now been pruned somewhat by the winds!

 

Haven't the faintest!!! I only came across it as I was walking round the garden taking photos. I'll have to ask the Head Gardener and Propagator and get back to you.

 

@alana Mrs Shiney said that that fern has now got lots of roots and she shall be potting them on soon. She put the fern leaf in the tray, pinned it down and covered it in a plastic bag and left it for two months. This is the result.
