What's Looking Good In July 2013

I've just read thru' 3 pages on this thread. It's better than any other tonic known to man I think,
thank you everyone for showing me all your goodies,
Jenny

 

Still have lovely memories of your garden Mr Shiney and it's good to see it now - in July,
Jenny

 

A few bits and pieces today. Do you remember my collection of Giant Fuchsia plugs on 15/3 2013?

Here they are today in the north facing window boxes

They will be out in time for judging on 17th July hopefully, but here's the first -"Voodoo"

 

I have developed a fondness for Persicaria Red Dragon this year too and was allowed to take some stems for rooting from the Hospice. All 7 potted up and will be grown with the Bowles Golden grass next year in the Communal garden.

Is this Patties Plum?

Lysimachia punctata and the Buddleia that was cropped to the ground in March

Campanula rotundifolia ( Harebell)

New this year Campanula "Iridescent Bells". Hoping it will reach the top string!!

And finally, Cranesbill pratense "Laura". A good white and a double too,


Jenny

 

Lovely plants Jenny the fuchsia's look wonderful, don't think I've seen one with the colouring of Voodoo very unusual love it and the double cranesbill too , love this thread .

 

I'll happily save you some seed HsuH, it'll be a while yet though as it isn't in flower yet, anything else you see just ask.
Thanks for letting me know you have to re register for the seed swap must have missed that, off to look now

 

This lovely weathers really bringing the flowers out
Jasione 'Blue Lights' lovely little perennial grown from seed

Campanula, sure Jenny'll help with this, name escapes me , every year I say I'm going to move it to cascade over a wall but always forget so its taken to climbing instead

Another seed grown plant really pleased with this already 4-5ft tall and only a year old, lovely blue green foliage you can't see in the picture.
Thalictrum Flavum 'Glaucum'

Potentilla 'Melton Fire'

Penstemon 'Husker Red' bit of a straggly plant here but pretty flowers.

Campanula think this ones 'Alliariifolia' grown from mixed Plantworld seeds another I forgot to stake and flopping a bit, next year I will be prepared

 

At least your Huskers Red looks red simbad! Mine have lost that colour since the move.

 

I've just strung up a clump of soft,tall Campanula "Kent Belle" before doing the hose watering which is a bit stronger than rain simbad. I too have lost a nice display in a full on Sou' westerly....

ps. sorry, I'm not familiar with that "climbing" campanula....

 

We do like poppies, we just left them to self-seed themselves and see what happens. Here are some examples:

 

Alstroemeria aurea




Arisaema


Astrantia major


Nicandra phyealodes

 

Astilbe


Trifolium rubens


Thalictrum flavum glaucum


Delphinium

 

Phew!! What a magnificent display this morning HsuH. Quite a few there I'm not familiar with too,
thank you,
Jenny
