What's Looking Good in July..!!

I'm going to have to hurry up and learn how to upload to Photobucket and then link it on here.
Everyone on here seems to take such fantastic photos.

 

Really lovely pictures Marley.


Salvia sclarea, which I have only recently discovered, makes quite an impressive display reaching five feet or more.


Salvia coccinea. This was from seed sowed in a light box in November. It started to flower in early January, but I cut the first buds off. It started to flower again in March and should go on till the frosts.


Salvia patens is usually dark blue, but this is an unusual pink variety.


Geranium 'Patricia' I think is brilliant, its a sterile hybrid and flowers for months and months.


Campanula medium (Canterbury Bells) is a biennial.

 

Lilium regale. Last year I found the bulbs ofthis still packaged in the rubbish! I planted them even if they were dry and pitiful, and here they are now.

PS with this pic I found that I can actually link pics also from Flickr. The problem was that when clicking on the image box this has the http// already typed in, and when I pasted the url from Flickr I had http// TWICE therefore wrong link. Silly silly silly me. Thanks to Tweaky and Marley for the help and patience. I can be amazingly thick when it comes to this kind of things. :(

 

Marley I have answered your questions about the light box in a seperate thread, so as not to divert this thread.

 

Wow, excellent find Ivory!! and well done for saving them... I just love lillies, their scent is heavenly :thumb:

 

GORGEOUS flowers everyone!

I am really taken with your Salvias sclarea and coccinea Peter - absolutely beautiful and so different!! Love your pink canterbury bells too - I had some lovely pale pink ones a few years back - they were huge, and a real treat!

Love your picture of the lily rescue Ivory! Don't you worry about your lack of computing knowledge - took me a whole page (and more) of a thread to work out how to copy a file into another. That's how you learn!!!

Looking lovely for the start of the month, folk. :thumb:

Ivory .... what a beautiful photo of your rescued Lily.

Bob ... love your Abutilon. I have three which survive all kinds of heat abuse here ... but I've not seen a varigated one.

 

Acanthus Spinosis(Bears Breeches).

 

Roders - thats magnificent. I daren't grow it in the border - it can get a bit possesive. :D So I grow it in a pot, and it doesn't like it. It's in the biggest pot I could get hold of, but the pot is already full of root.

 

I bought an aconite at a car-boot a month or so ago, and now I know it can be invasive, will keep my eye on it, but if I get fabulous towering spikes like that, don't think I'll mind too much!

 

Helianthus annuus "Moulin Rouge". Sorry I forgot to resize the picture before uploading!

Roders,I love Acanthus, bot mollis and spinosus. Yours looks truely good!

 

Ivory, you can't beat that for a rich colour.:thumb:
