What's Looking Good In February 2022

Gorgeous combination of colour and flower shape, @Victoria!

Thank you Upsy. It gets to about three meters then it is cut back each year to about half. I have a red one that hasn't bloomed yet. @pete has a purple one and @NigelJ has a red one. They are exceptionally fast growers, well here at least. I believe the purple is an I cyaneum and the red a I fuchsioides.

Iochroma - Wikipedia

 

No, I just have the hardy blue and white ones which look and flower a bit different.

 

Cyclamen persicum (these seeded themselves from plants I had on the ledge above ...

... and that could be a Hibbertia scandens seedling behind them.

Lavender latifolia (Portuguese Lavender) ...

 

Crocus malyi slightly battered and pecked.


Corydalis paschei This normally flowers in mid March, about 6 weeks later it will have disappeared below ground until the following spring.


Muscari adilii

Galanthus lagodechianus

Galanthus rizehensis "Baytop"

 

Lampranthus ...

 

Those are lovely @Victoria, I must try to grow them again ...

Here's a few taken today, in the wind

Cyclamen in pots :-





Flore pleno Snowdrops :-




White heather :-



Hellebores :-










One I couldn't get a good photo of, I might try again on a better day (or when I'm feeling more patient ) ...

 

Thank you Michael I love that red and white Cyclamen and what an unusual colour leaf the other has. Also what beautiful Hellebores, that yellow/burgundy one is stunning as is the burgundy with white edging.

 

Thank you @Victoria, my late partner Beryl bought those two Hellebores a year before she died, so she never saw them flowering.

The cyclamen you like the leaves of is C. coum

 

Very colourful @Victoria @Michael Hewett love those hellebores.

 

I don't mean to sound selfish but I'm green with envy at all of your beautiful plants and flowers. Apart from the irises, nothing else is flowering in my garden despite my best hopes, wishes and finger crossing. I'm so jealous

 

@Andrea Youll don't be jealous, you have Irises. Out of a pot full of bulbs I only had two flowers and even those have shriveled up now

 

Thanks @Michael Hewett, I suppose when you put it like that I'm lucky! Things are starting to grow, I guess I'm just too impatient to wait for them haha

 

Snowdrops have been in bloom here for a couple of weeks. I also noticed a couple of primroses with flowers today and @Jocko....just letting you know the crocus are coming up.

 

@Andrea Youll you will soon have flowers.
