What's Looking Good In July 2013

Did you have toms in your window box last year? or am i getting muddled again

Joolz,
yes , the south west facing window box has the toms in it. Like a scruffy jungle this year with Maskotkas and Red Robins. Lots of leaf, a few trusses with some toms but non ripening as yet.

 

Thanks for your good luck wishes Mr Shiney.
Bet your lawns are relieved to see the back of that MOLE !!

Catanache Caerulea starting to look good today.........

 

What a fantastic swathe of blue Simbad. Still my favourite summer colour...
Jenny

 

Its starting to look very mmm yellow beside the pond
'Senecio'

 

They certainly are Simbad, love the colour combination - they are also very good used in dried flower arrangements.

 

I'm not very fond of strong yellow in a Summer garden ( except Achillea "Moonshine") in the evening light. Just me.

No, not just you, me too ... apart from my Strong Yellow coloured Lilies

but I'm going to move them to the Exotic Garden because they look silly, to my eye, in the Summer Border.

 

Some more beauties

 

The first (and probably last with this heat) of the Arisaema is A.tortuosum..............




Echeveria runyonii "Topsy Turvy"......................

 

First Lilium regale has opened:


and in the Red border Lilium Blackburn is getting ready

 

Rosa Emma Hamilton



Rosa Pas de Deux



None of my Dahlias are flowering yet, but they did go out quite late

 

Rosa Pas de Deux is delightful....
