    I am just dazzled by this page :gnthb::gnthb: very well done everyone.

    Working up - Pete, your Epiphyllum and Guava flowers have a dream-like quality. After seeing how protected this part of your garden is, I can understand how a lot of these plants can winter outside.

    Kathy, it is like a flower show in your garden - beautiful!

    Strongy, your Orange Ice is wonderful, have never seen that colour before. I had to look twice at all those Callistimon names, can you remember which is which without looking at the lables? :wink:

    Woo, you orange-coloured flowers lit the room up here, wonderful.

    Sis, I've said how lovely your flowers always are and I do love the peach-coloured Canna.

    Thanks for sharing. xx

    This beautiful poppy had emerged this morning in an area of the garden where I simply scattered random seeds which weren't labelled so I don't know what kind it is but I've posted in the id area to find out, it is beautiful though!

    My Agapanthus looks stunning in the shade ... for which I must thank roders xx as he sent me this and I am grateful as I have lost my large clump which was eight years old.

    And my Gloxinia are just stunning, also in the shade ...
