What's looking good in July 2009

Your Alstromeria is lovely Shiney - have been on the look out for one of these for ages up here but no luck so far ...... just stunning !

 

Glorious Shiney-hardly boring. That bee looks comfy. Everything is having a great time.

 

Lovely photos, shiney, particularly the poppies and the verbascum.

 

hell i didnt mean the ones above to be that big soz

 

I can almost taste those pics Cumberland. I love summer the most because of how strong the colours are.


A few of mine-I have toned down the brightness on the iceberg rose-too much glare off the sun.

 

Cumberland - the whole garden shot is wonderful !! Such a nice image

Claire - stunning photos as always, is the yellow a Dahlia ?

 

Sam-yes it's a dahlia-dwarf lemon something or other lol.

 

Have never bothered with Dahlias until this year when I brought 3. Think they look lovely in the garden!! Do you lift yours in the winter Claire, or mulch over them and hope they come back ?

 

lollipop
love the rose pics especially the white rose - gorgeous

thanks for your kind words sam - do you have any pics you wanna share of your pad?

been a beautiful day

 

I am very much the sort of the gardener that gives plants one choice, live or die, so I mulch over, they do keep coming back. I have got some gladioli this year and acidantheras and will be risking it with those too.

Thanks Cumberland-I do very much admire Iceberg roses too-such a pure white it seems to iridesce.

 

Beautiful everyone.

 

Cumberland - plenty of pics kicking around on here in different places. I posted some pics on this thread a page or two back

Claire - very much my way with plants too. I havent the knowledge to be lifting and trying to overwinter anything, plus I havent got a greenhouse or anything either so I guess im just 'a fingers crossed' kinda gardener lol
