you have all 3 with daylily's some die right back into the ground , some just lose 80% of the leaves and then the evergreens that dont lose any

 

Ooh - that's a fine specimen Spruce.... I can just see a splendid vase of those on the GC Reception desk..

Thanks Eve.....and I'm loving your Hibiscus! I have one that's about eight years old and was in a pot but has never flowered. I took the chance and planted it in my sandy soil two years ago and although it's looking healthy, still no flowers as yet. I haven't got a clue now what colour the flowers would be.

 

Rose


Another Asiatic lily


Poppies


Pinks


Fuchsia


Clematis

 

Very jealous of all of you with lillies

They are so beautiful

I hate not being able to have them

 

Thanks Jenny - though as you can see something has been munching it!

@Sheal. Maybe it needs lots of sun and heat? As that hibiscus is in the corner that regularly gets to well over 30C.

 

Why can't you have them Dips?

 

Because i have cats and the pollen from lillies is very poisonous to them and if they ingest it it can make them sick cause kidney failure and kill them

So i dnt like to take the risk as to ingest the pollen it normally happens if they get it on their fur and then clean themselves

 

@Dips, ah I didn't know that, what a shame. Luckily I don't have cats.

 

Sorry Eve, I had to laugh! Although we've had a good summer so far this year the island is known for high rainfall and temperatures not exceeding 25C.... and that's rare. I know it's a bit of a tall order for the Hibiscus in these conditions but I thought I'd give it a chance in the garden for a couple of years. I'm house hunting, so it could well end up back in a pot for moving at some point.
