Garden Bloggers Bloom Day - August 2012
Managed to take these photos before the latest deluge:
Acanthus mollis, putting on a good display now that it's got more space.
Crocosmia, commonly known as Montbretia. This plant was given to me many years ago by a friend. This year it is giving its best display ever, obviously likes the rain. Glad something does.
Hosta, flowering in the front garden. I've not seen much of this plant recently, but this year's rain has given it a new lease of life. And the snails have had a banquet on the leaves.
Clematis Rebecca, atop an apple tree, flowering for the second time this year.
Buddleia Nanho Blue, a dwarf variety, it said on the label. It's about 8ft. tall at the moment.
Rose Handel, a climbing rose, having a second flush of flowers.
Bacopa, a tender plant that survived the winter outdoors in a hanging basket.
Lily, an oriental variety, flowering near the front gate. It was a spare bulb that I planted this spring. Would have given it a bit more TLC if I had known it had a flower like this.
Geranium Sybil, an ivy-leaf variety. I've grown a lot of these this year because they cope well with drought conditions. Alright, I know, but we were experiencing a drought way back in early spring when I bought them.
Lily Star Class, purchased two years ago, and giving quite a nice display again.
Achillea Lilac Beauty, this plant just gets better every year.

Są śliczne i mam nadzieję, że deszcze im nie zaszkodziły. Kwiatki z drugiego zdjęcia też miałam, ale niestety zima go zniszczyła. Pozdrawiam.
ReplyDeleteThey are beautiful and I hope that the rain did not harm them. Flowers of the second image also had, but unfortunately it has destroyed winter. Yours.
Hi Giga,
DeleteFortunately, the rain didn't damage the blooms too much. Some have bent their heads over, but I'm sure they'll lift them up again when the sun comes out tomorrow.
A fine bunch of blooms there Crystal. Very impressed with your 8 foot dwarf! :-)
ReplyDeleteIt's a good job I didn't grow a tall variety.
DeleteYou have alot in flower, very pretty!
ReplyDeleteA lot of the plants are very late flowering this year.
DeleteYour garden is obviously loving all the rain.
ReplyDeleteThe garden is, I'm not so keen. I got drenched this afternoon.
DeleteA lovely selection Crystal! I was given some Crocosmia by an elderly neighbour some years ago, she called it Monbretia too. Unfortunately it disappeared after a few years. I do have its larger cousin 'Lucifer' which seems very hardy and rather more invasive than I would like!
ReplyDeleteMy Hosta has been decimated by snails :-(
Love that naughty squirrel making mincemeat of your squirrel proof feeder on the last post :-)
I've got Lucifer too, it grows stronger than the ordinary Montbretia, and flowers every year.
