[nomedia="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CFevWO4X9-A"]YouTube- Sunday stroll, July 18, 2010[/nomedia]

did a morning July 18, stroll around one garden.

 

The Hydrangeas and Phlox are looking good, by the way don't speak too loud, I think your garden is bugged.:D

Do the Cicadas stop or is the noise day and night? we don't have them here.
I know they have a very short adult life so how long are they around?

 

Its all looking very nice without the rain Shiney.

They are all loving it.

Whats the spiney one shiney?

Thankyou shiney, have heard of the name before, now I know what it looks like.

 

Lovely pics Redstar and Shiney.


Fuchsia triphylla 'Gartenmeister'


Fuchsia arborescens


Solanum lactiniatum


Tweedia caerula

 

Just a couple more

 

I think the Caesalpinia looks stunning, Pete. It certainly beats growing a cotoneaster against the house wall! :hehe:

 

Thankyou Clare

 

Pete - nice pictures. I presume the top one is a Fig, and the second is a Canna, but what is the bottom one please?

 

freckle face

 

Crinum powellii, Peter.

 

There is some gorgeous photography on this thread.

Top job as usual Shiney and PeterS. And you too Pete! (Even though in these most recent pics there is a distinct lack of triffids! :D )


I took some nice photos today.

 

Melinda - they are lovely. I love those colours.


I like this because it makes me laugh. Leonotis nepetifolia is an annual from southern India. Its already over 6 feet tall, but under the right conditions could reach 10 feet. :D


Malope trifida - annual Mallow.
