WHAT'S LOOKING GOOD IN JUNE 2018

Verdun stunning show mate...proper eye catchers you have and I bet the smell in your garden must be overwhelming ...I smelt our lavender while taking the hydrangea pic as the lavender flowers have opened more

Kazza lovely Fuschia mate and just look at the size of them

 

All I can say mate is when my cat had a bad road accident the emergency vet at the time must have been totally lying ...I know my cat had to wait till the following day to be seen

I am sorry to hear about your plants...haven't you got neighbours or family who would water them for you while your away

 

Petunias and Calibrachoas

 

Now mate I do suffer with colour blindness but to make sure is this pure black as it is stunning and that velvet look is such a bonus to the flower and colour

 

Hydrangea Annabelle


Campanula Glomerata



Lily Nettys Pride



Dianthus











Pieris Little Heath



Pieris in MPC never seen Ericaceous Compost in it's life. About 8 years old now. Not bad eh @Verdun and @Tetters

 

That's the same as mine mate and mines starting to go red again...I just love the flame look they give off

 

Hi Gail, it's the closest to black I've ever seen in any flower nothing comes close.
It's called " Black Ray ". I've had it about 3 years now ( grown from cuttings each Autumn ).

 

Well that is enough to attract the eye as I've never seen one before...you also have a nice display of flowers going on there but that really caught my eye..you've got to be over joyed with it

 

I saw them in a local garden centre. They look nice.

@KFF I have never taken cuttings of trailing Petunias before. When and how is it done?

 

My cat is an oscar winning drama queen. Particularly over being groomed. He used to love being groomed, but for some obscure reason I haven't been able to work out yet, he's decided he no longer likes it. He has a very thick coat and sheds and sheds and sheds everywhere . Grooming is necessary every few days. There is always theatre and drama involved combined with lots of decibels. When the combing is completed he knows he will get a treat and the theatre and amateur dramatics are forgotten in the blink of an eye.

Rats are also the most incredible drama queens, particularly baby Rats

 

Lucius I could just imagine the screaming...my first cat bobby got washed monthly and the thing resembled a rat until I put the hairdryer on him and he had no choice

 

Thanks @Gail_68 , I'm still waiting for the main show, that'll be the Lilies. They're only just starting and should go on till September.

 

Absolutely amazing, it looks very healthy - you must be talking to it the right way

 

Well that should be a nice display to look forward to...I think something is nibbling at one of my new plants on the stem...hubby won't have it but i'm going to take a pic tomorrow and add it

 

Hi @kazzawazza , I do them in late September/early October . Treat them as any other half hardy perennial ( yes, they are perennials not annuals ) such as Pelargoniums/Fuchsias or Salvias.

Just take non-flowering shoots abiut 3" long and insert about 3 or 4 around the edge of a 3" pot. Keep them indoors on a sunny windowsill and pot them up seperately in early Spring.
