What's looking good in July 2012

A few flowers on a cool, wet, part cloudy day.
Had to try the new camera out despite the weather.

Hotlips and Chocolate Cosmos.


Calla Picasso.

Begonia Red Dragon.


One of the wall baskets.

 

. Congratulations to our local council for their Jubilee flower bed.

 

Very nice.

 

I love this hanging basket Strongy. A beautiful balance and a lovely mix. Looks well protected from the wind - well worth it. Treasure it - it's lovely,
Jenny

 

Campanula takesimana......................



It has taken to arching with the weight of the rain..............



Unknown Hebe that was given a serious chop when I moved in..................



Lilium formosanum pricei..................



It's low growing (probably as a result of having been in a pot too long when I bought them) so I had to "tweak" it for this shot...................

 

Impatiens kilimanjari on the garden shelving by the back door..............



Fuchsia thalia (at last!)...................



Eucomis autumnalis...............



Eucomis bicolor continues to look good despite the weather................

 

Those are pretty cool looking

 

Got some photos just before the heavens opened again, for the Fuchsiaphiles,that's Blueberry Fizz in the wall basket,

Wow fabulous pictures everyone , been looking for this thread and couldn't find it for some reason ,just put in campanula id and there it was, right now off to find the campanula id thread to put my picture on, or maybe later after my curry

 

Lobelia laxiflora................

 

I like the succulent basket Jenny.
I dont think people use enough succulents in planters in this country.

 

A few from Sues garden this weekend;

Dicentra "Burning Heart".................



It's said to have a long season, but even if it were just a few days it would be worth having!



Tulbaghia violacea.................



Albuca shawii.............





Rhodohypoxis baurii..............





Finally, one of my own - Salvia glutinosa...............



Grown from seed sent by Simbad - thanks!

 

It's become a bit of an arms race around here as we try to outdo one another!!!
