What`s looking good in August...

Thanks Lol

 

Yeah I did.:D

Nice pics Gogs

 

Beautiful, just beautiful. Love the Dahlias and all the garden pictures. The hollyhocks were great, for a few years I had some black hollyhocks doing well. Then I did not have a lot of good sunny spots. Should try some hollyhocks down in the valley. Guess I really have to figure out this picture downloading stuff.
Are you able to leave your Dahlias in ground all year, here we have to lift them and store in the basement, and put out again in early spring, too much for me, so I don't get involved with them.

 

Hi Redstar its my first year growing Daliah's, and there lovely, its too cold here (north of England) to leave them in, so i suppose ill let them just die off,

 

Dee I'm sure if you were to mulch them they would survive a normal winter up there given reasonably good drainage.
Might start a bit slow next year though.

How cold do you get redstar?

Lovely colours, Gogs.

That's very pretty, Sis ... what is it?

This is my third year with the Shrimp Plant which blooms non-stop and would grow to six foot tall if I planted it in the ground ....





And the Cannas are doing well, peach, rose and what is supposed to be Lucifer (in front of a bush Bougainvillea) but I sure don't see any red on it ....







The yellow one is having a rest and the red one Brilliant hasn't flowered yet.

But the Mandevilleas continue to give a show ...

 

Have edited it in, Sis
