What's Looking Good In February 2019

A cheery spring pot and last years stock! It's stopped setting seed to start flowering again

 

Not the best photo in the world but the scent drove me to take it. Edgeworthia C., is related to daphne and the scent is wonderfully intoxicating.
Apart from the flowers it has beautiful foliage.
A lovely shrub...this is 4 years old and is delightful in bud from late November until flowers emerge in mid winter

 

Lachenalia aloides...............

The flowers started to emerge in November but by keeping them as cool as I dare I managed to put blooming off until now.

 

You grow so many amazing plants longk that is a stunner
Lachenalia aloides should grow outdoors down here and a visit to a local nursery is beckoning.

 

Acacia dealbata, what's left of it, hit for the third year running although this winter just some browned leaves.


Hebe pink elephant.


Sarcococca hookeriana.


Coronilla just opening up for the bees.


Grevillea Cambera Gem.

 

My geum totally tangerine is in flower

Yep, it will. Flowering here too and if you deadhead regularly it will flower for months.
Incidentally, after the main vigorous flush of flowers ...mid summer or in autumn ......you can divide it. I prefer summer division because recovery is rapid enough to produce flowering a few weeks later
