WHATS LOOKING GOOD IN JULY.

Close up - Lovely Rose.

 

MF- it's Piccolo, see L's previous post!

 

Rudbeckia



Can't beat em' for height and yellow display.

BM

 

I love the colour contrast, BM, and the shady aspect ... although yellow flowers are not my favourite!

 

First Star gazer, earlier than last year.

 

Oleander bursting out, when I bought this from the Palm Centre last july it was only 18ins high. It was overwintred under glass, I wouldn't risk it outside till may.

 

Lovely, Strongy, as you can imagine mine are doing their thing at the moment and I have double deep pink ... love them and, for the first time this year I noticed as I pass I actually can small them, soft and subtle!

 

Bush Bouganvillea ....



Sun Seeker Patio Rose ....



.... and the Trout Begonia is still going strong with the stems bent all the way over now with the weight of the blooms ....

 

LoL, I presume yours are planted out naturally, the problem here is although they thrive outside here(on the coast)spring doesn't come early enough to produce a large amount of buds. I would rather have mine in pots, over winter inside and put them out late spring and get a lot of flowers than try to establish them in the ground and hardly get any flowers, after all it's the flowers we want to see. The others, white, apricot and vanilla are just coming out.

 

Inula - bees love it

 

I have a pink oleander and have the same problem strongy, I've got two plants planted out and both just about survived last winter and are now growing strongly but no flower buds. A small cutting I took last summer is in bud.
That bougie does look good L of L and different to the one I have.

 

A superb bougie Pete, it is similar to the one I brought back from hols last year which is now 4ft high and trailing over the fence into the road but has smaller flowers than yours which looks like the Buttiana type with large matt leaves.
LoL --- we stuggle to grow them, you struggle to stop them!
I will be looking out for different ones next month.
