Oh! what a week! Long week! Glad it’s weekend. Don’t think.I’ve seen much of my garden these last few days. Can’t wait to have a few days off. Roll on September..LOL.
Six on Saturday, taken a few pictures lately, just a reminder what’s amiss. Quite a few plants actually. Guess, slimies got them truly, nowhere to hide with these crawlies. Even with fine sand it didn’t deter them. Well, need to plan for next year for more tolerant, robust, slimy busting plants.
Okay six for Saturday, my pick this weekend.
Lilac second bloom, always love the scent of this plant. A lovely treat for butterflies and moths. Bees love it too.
Crocosmia ‘Orange Devil’ and ‘George Davidson’ GD freeplants from my sister-in-law. Can’t seem to find where to place these bulbs so potted them last spring. Looking good. Got 2 more kinds of Crocosmia to bloom. Perplexed why these bulbs doesn’t flower the same time.
Dahlia my first bloom. Had a few planted in the ground. Saw them emerging, growing, budding then gone. Slimies or rabbits? This one survived the onslaught.Wonder why?
Japanese Anemone ‘Prinz Heinrich’ there are plants that remind me it’s late summer when they bloom. Late flowering anemone is one of them. Usually, they’re still flowering until mid-autumn. Good for bees.
Lantana, moved outdoors last June. Started flowering in April in my living room. Non-stop since then. Thriving beautifully.
Inspired by hummingbird hawk moth and Brimstone butterfly, 2 more phlox paniculata plants ‘David’ and ‘Ruby Flame’ were added last summer. A disappointment, not much flowering going on; no appearance of the pollinators mentioned either. Maybe it s going to be better next year.
Very colourful in the garden right now and quite chaotic too. Hedges needs cutting, not until October they say. Lawn growing like crazy and never mention about weeds. Weeding? What’s that. ☺
Still waiting for that mini -heatwave. Hopefully soon. Right.
