What's looking good in July 2017

@Trunky , this is the Begonia Santa Cruz you recommended back in 2014 . I bought 5 small plugs , this is the only one to survive . Flowers from mid June to the frosts in November

 

Harry, I agree...
Excellent value.
I have similar, Crackling Fire in yellow, pink, red and orange. Easy peasy and can be used again every year

 

Here are a few from my garden. I love the blue stems on this. I forget the name of it; is it echinops?


Dorothy Perkins rose.

And the ever popular Verbena bonariensis.

 

Hi Redwing, it looks like Eryngium ( Sea Holly ) to me. Echinops' flowers are in a ball shape

 

That's it; I knew it began with 'E'.

 

Yes eryngium but what a splash of colour there Redwing . How many plants do you have there?

 

Alpine Pink



Leucanthemum " Broadway Lights "



Achillea Ptarmica



Lilium Longiflorum



Lilium Longiflorum " Triumphantor "



Gerbera



Impatiens Balsamina " Tom Thumb "





Dipladenia ( Mandevilla )

 

I seem to have a lot of hydrangeas...mostly blue mopheads. I may have to replace one or two with some other varieties....I quite like the varied colours on the pink bush as the flowers fade, though.

 

Fuchsias

 

Three; they are doing very well in the well drained soil in my Med style garden.

 

Lillies

 

Begonia Crackling Fire....just gets better and better

 

Another Crackling Fire
