What’s looking good in August 2019

Heleniums, thalictrum and VB

 

Helenium
Baudirector Linne....I think from memory

Your thalia is far, far better than mine longk Do you feed it regularly....liquid feed, sustained release? Keep it moist?

 

Taken as the light is fading somewhat but I love this sanguisorba. Taller than I am
Everyone wants to touch it!

 

Watered when I remember, slow release MiracleGrow and partial sun.

 

Ok, I know I'm sad, but this little table collection has me wanting to shout with joy this morning.... ( but I can't, as everyone is still asleep!)

From the left in the maroon pot, my 3 year old date palm, that is finally starting to have palmate leaves.
In the white pot with black bamboo decorations, a citrus pip plant that I identified for a friend, and she gave me as a 'thank you' (it's now at least twice the size it was 2 months ago).
The pot on the plastic tray - that tiny pink blob on the right-hand side? That's a mango seed, starting to sprout!!
The plant in the white pot, that seems to have a right angle bend in the stem, is a first ginger leaf, coming up from a ginger tuber.
Then a pot with two more 3 year old date palms, not yet growing palmate leaves.
Finally, a blue tray with little pots of maidenhair, and sword fern babies, grown from spores - mainly from the pot with the white label in it (I use the label to gently tease the baby plants from the soil surface).

Sad I know, but I'm growing a Mang-go!!!
