WHATS LOOKING GOOD IN JULY 2019

Geranium "Anne Folkard"

Sunflower


Dahlia "Mystic Illusion"


Lilium "Kushi Maya"

Verbascum chiaxi The only one that hasn't been devastated by mullein moth caterpillars.

Rosa "Lolabelle"

Brachyglottis huntii

Dahlia "Moonfire"

 

@shiney Interestingly this is the first year, for some time, that I have had none of the common mullein around. The one above gets more shady than the others.

 

Through my window....using my phone. Not the best quality and, again, I’ve cut the top off

 

ALTHROP HOUSE Northampton. Lakeside and Lady Diana Memorial

 

Good morning all,
My pictorial little hoard of Sempervivums from RHS Harlow Carr Harrogate (plus a few others not in shot)



Whilst there are thousands of named cultivars of sempervivums I'm limiting myself to collecting just the RHS AGM award winners and the Arachnoideum Group plus a few other specialties. I should end up with around 24 in all. Which is enough to cultivate and handle.

 

You’ll be hooked BigC .....if not already
Mind you, looking good aren’t they?

I have Surreal Succulents not too far from me....last time I went there I spent a small fortune. Think I’ll mosey in on Saturday.

 

Kniphofia Papya .....loads of spikes to come; hemerocallis Golden Zebra in front . Pennisetum Rubrum to the top right soon to flower
.

 

Coreopsis Moonbeam
Salvia Carradonna been flowering for weeks but after this photo it was pruned to allow further flush of flowers

 

There may lie a problem @Verdun lol
But I have to keep the numbers down to a manageable level. So with a few distinct groups, I think I can manage that.

 

Geranium Jolly Bee......it’s a metre plus high and flowers forever

 

Agastache Black Adder

 

Pennisetum Villosum
