What's Looking Good in June .....

Beautiful flowers, Kryssy!!!! Love the Lizards too!!!!
My oldest has 2 Leopard Geckos in his bedroom - both the boys are lizard crazy!! They would love to come and catch your wildlife for you :D :D :D

We had fun yesterday when he left the door open on their Vivarium and they escaped!!! We found them under his bed (AND they survived!!!!!!!!) and just manged to catch them - the dog thought it was a fantasitc game!!!!

 

Just been having a look around Casadinho LOL. You've been busy and it's beautiful! Our house looks like your "before" pictures and we've been at it for over 4 years. Hubby's promised me a kitchen before Christmas - has stripped out the old one but no sign of a new one yet. No wonder I spend so much time in the garden....... and here!

 

Hi kryssy, I can sympathise ... we didn't move into our for four years AFTER the kitchen had been installed. Now, after ten years, we're having proper bathrooms installed ...

You seem to be having as much rain as Hyla, but then you're in the same part of the world. We'd like a little more down here!

I think you're doing pretty good with the camera.

 

LOL, you are going to be so popular now that after 10 years you can have a bath.....

I've put "twoloosletrek" in my favs (cool name!) so that I can see I'm not alone in the world of building chaos - although ours is DIY chaos

Want a little more rain down there? No problem. I'm just going to don my wellies and coat, nip outside and do a little dance.

T.T.F.N.

 

I would love to have them Kryssy but the W

 

Oops,typo :confused:
Wild life and Countryside act says no to 'alien imports'. I have always had an interest in herpetiles since I was 'nipper'.

 

"No Alien Imports" ??? Does the Home Office know this ???? No, don't go there.....!

I'm tempted - of course - to comment on your interest in herpetiles - especially as hubby gets cold sores often - but I'll resist. You'll just have to come over for a holiday and smuggle some back in your socks.

Seriously though, I'll try to get more photos for you and perhaps some of the bigger green things we have and some snakes - do you like snakes Strongylodon?

 

Ooh that's lovely bobj, my sweet peas are getting so big, I can't wait for them to flower

 

Hi Kryssy

Would love to see some photos of the big green things, and the snakes!!

(... and we had two more eggs laid by our lizards today!!!)

Bobj - your sweet pea is such a beautiful colour!! What one is it?

 

Will do my best Honey Bee - as soon as it stops raining! And, congratulations on your new arrivals. Do they have names?

Bobj - funny how our sweet peas are starting to bloom at the same time. I always thought we were just slightly ahead here. No so. I can't wait for them to get really going as I just love the scent.

 

Love the Penstemon, bobj, but never had any luck with it here.

I'm on my second go of Sweet Peas, only do the dark colours.

Mentioning snakes, Honey, our friends came over earlier for their weekly inspection of the works and Mick told me he had a snakeskin for me. I shall either make a hat band or hair band with it.

 

Anything you fancy I'll send you, bobj! That's plants/seeds I'm talking about! :D I'm getting Portugal spread about the UK nicely at the moment and a lot down your part of the world.

 

The caesalpinia gilliesii is getting going now



Do you know this hebe, it gets big but it flowers all summer and a good part of the winter.

 

That first one is really beautiful Pete, it looks so dainty. The leaves look feathery like on a Jacaranda or a Mimosa, is it of the same family?

 

The pea family Kedi, it likes a really warm wall to grow well here.
And it doesn't like rain on the flowers.
