What's looking good in April

Lovely pictures Pete, my Grevillead died not sure why, does yours grow outside?

 

Yes its outside Waco, that one is called "Canberra Gem", I have another, a yellow one, called Sulphurea.
They are reputed to be tender but I've never had any trouble.

 

Crown imperial

 

I quite dislike you, pete ... mine rotted in the ground here, an orange one!

 

I have an orange one as well, at least I think it is, its not flowered again this year.

 

:D

 

Oh what a big one Pete! How I love my titty fritties or is that my fritty tities - my imperials are not out yet snakesheads are and a couple of others -

 

Beautiful frittilary folks!

I only have the 'common' snakeshead, took a couple of pics today:





Cowslip and celendine:

 

wish I could get my pictures as clear as that JB - I think my ancient camera needs an update!

 

Waco - I have never seen one like in the first picture, with the multiple blooms. Do you know the name of it?

Jarbax - your second pic is beautiful, I keep going back to look at it.

 

After our horrendous storms and battering rains yesterday, the Euryops pectinatus (Golden Daisy Bush), Verbena, Osteopernums and Feclicia are trying to stand up today.

 

all looks pretty good to me LoL!

I nicked some osteospurnams from my neigbour last summer (cuttings) but don't know why I bothered as they are a "dirty" coloured pink.

 

Haven't got a "dirty" coloured pink one, sweetheart, so maybe you could float one across to me when you're in Greece!

When is it you guys are off? Would be nice if you could float out way!

I just have the common white, purple backed and purple.

We were battered by the rains yesterday, absolutely came down with full force but you know I don't complain because we need it.

 

yes nothing is green without water!

My dirty pink osteo is really horrid colour, but reliably hardy and very free flowering. I will however not float any such things your way until I find the vibrant orange one I have been looking for - I know of several dirty orange ones, but this has to be a real citrus orange with no compromises - then I promise to hand deliver!
