Busy Bee looks great

I do have one called "Skippy" self seeds and I found one growing in a pot (the only one !!!) so looking at yours I think I will give it some VIP treatment , and get some cuttings taken to bulk up

 

Yellows and creams.
Erysimum Fragrant Star.


Osteospermum Voltage Yellow.


Hosta Wide Brim.


Callistemon Salignus just coming into flower it is more yellow than in the pic , out of the other four Callistemons only Inferno has flower buds. I lost Mauve Mist in the winter




In the greenhouse, a small Durantia Golden Mound, from a cutting taken from a hedge in the hotel gardens Nairobi last August.

It should have blue flowers eventually, if it gets big enough! doesn't like the cold (like me )
so I kept the two of them in the kitchen window sill through the winter as down to 5c in the greenhouse was too cold.

 

I remember your Montana in that tree from my GC trip to Shineyland. It was in glorious bloom then. Your have a lovely collection of Clems Mr Shiney,

I'm sure I will have Kristen I've been putting off tackling that clump for a couple of years now this is the year as its not flowering quite so well, I'll let you know when I split it.

 

You didn't send me it did you silu I swapped mine on a swapshop years ago, it is a lovely one.
I'm sure I could send you a piece of each iris , I'd love to see a picture of your dark purple when it flowers, I was sent one last year by a friend which should be really dark too unfortunately the huge flower spike it had was broken by something!!!!!! so never got to see it flower this year ,this is quite a tall one, here's a picture of it, not my picture but my good friend tommymoo, sure she won't mind me using her picture

 

Here's another of mine for you ARMANDII
