WHAT'S LOOKING GOOD IN JULY 2018

How did you decide on the name?

 

Well now, dat would be tellin, so it would......so it would ....

 

Mine be called "Dagda"

 

Looks more like a Patrick to me ....to be sure ......do you mean the brother of Ogma?

 

Your eucomis is well ahead of mine @pete how old is it? I bought 3 bulbs (the biggest I could find) earlier this year to see how I got on with them, mine are also in pots. You feed them much?

 

Before the wind and rain batters them too much..

Lillies...yellow and orange asiatics went over ages ago.









No idea what this rose is but it smells beautiful.



Glads



This has gone berserk since moving it outside to bake chickens love the leaves though!



Pasta sauce..

 

Hi Linz, well to be honest I bought it last year and it's still in the same pot, another plant I didn't pot on this year, but I did check and the roots were not that great.
Only fed it a couple of times this year.

I've been growing seed grown Eucomis in the garden for years, mostly only with a very slight purple leaf colouring, so last year I bought this.
The ones in the garden have not shown any signs of flowers as yet, but that is normal, especially since they have become a bit overgrown by other plants over the years.

The bulbs do get massive eventually.

 

@Verdun it is Persicaria Amplexicaulis 'Golden arrow'

 

Thanks Tetters

Well, I had a good look around the garden and there was some damage from the heavy rain and strong winds but nothing too bad

A couple of cannas.....over 9' tall...were blown over but stems intact so a couple of stakes rectified that. A few dahlias were battered but, again, no stems broken so fixed.

Amazing really that garden is still intact

 

Sorry (not sorry) to throw the thread off with a not so good looking plant.

Here's my sparkling burgundy @pete.. :s



The other 2 I've forgot the names of and are pretty much the same size but green leaved.. would of forgot the burgundy's name if you hadn't mentioned it

They were extremely slow to come alive mind and I haven't fed them, so will do soon

 

Talking of eucomis, I am growing Dark Star for the first time this year. A real cute dwarf form. Still growing on but I will put into a terracotta pot this week and top dress with white grit
It is hardy here....it was left outside over winter but covered with a sheet of glass

 

Having lost all my Eucomis (except E.bicolor which is almost in bloom) I bought some bulbs for Eucomis 'Aloha Leia'. Looking good............
