What's Looking Good In August 2023

A picture of the Petunias on the balcony in the rain

Balc.

 

Adenium obessum has about two dozens blooms and buds (it has bloomed continuously since 21 May) and the Oxalis gives blooms occasionally as long as I water it heavily on a daily basis ...

 

The Adeniums have really come on strong @Victoria

It must be all that warmth you are getting.

 

If this heat keeps up, they will roast ... but they are in filtered sun except for an hour.

 

Hoooo...it's fragrant on the terrace this evening...The Twig is finally opening it's first flower, ditto the Moonflower, Ipomoea alba, and the tuberoses, Polianthes, are doing their stuff

 

Posted a video of some of the flowers in bloom in the garden today here.

Also show some flowers on a tree blooming for the first time in the garden here.

Also I discuss flowers on the driveway in this video.

Happy gardening!

Tuberous Begonias - although not very good, they're the best ones I've ever had :-
