    Love the hibiscus,Walnut.

    This a Sedum spectabile with a very nice colouring I have had for some time. Noname.It looks like Matrona, but with darker leaves and lighter flowers. Perfect.

    That's lovely Ivory and look at the number of buds.

    I was surprised to see my Amaryllis belladona blooming yesterday ....

    It's took two and a half years for this heychium to reach flowering from seed but well worth the wait, it has a beautiful scent.

    Just in case you all thought I only grew things that were not edible.#
    Pink fur apple spuds and super marmande toms, from the allotment.

    Pete, what are you going to do with all those spuds and tomatoes .... I assume share them?

    And is that the Heychium like walnut's behind? .... gives more of an idea of the size of the blooms. They are really lovely, both walnut's and yours. :thumb:

    No,.... eat them.
    The pink fur apple is the only one worth growing in my opinion, as you can buy loads of the others anywhere, but these are not easily found.
    I'm impressed by the super marmande as I last grew it as a greenhouse tom, but its done well in this poor summer.

    Yep that is the same ginger as walnuts, a small tuber of it was put into my hand back in 1985 at Sanfancisco airport by a friend, and its been around ever since.:)
