My Cottage Garden,..glengarry23.

@shiney ,..Spectacular images,..sorry to read you had the Downy Mildew,..in my case i just decided they were taking over the garden where i had other plants,..well done with your disposing your stock for charity sales,..i have difficulty getting rid of just a few.

Lucky devil,..i had a few rose bushes to give away,..couldn't get a taker,..in the end the Vet's staff obliged,..too many farmers around here and they don't garden.

Taking cuttings of my Heuchera have produced a few variations though nothing like what one can purchase,..some gardeners grow them for the blooms however most are attracted to the foliage.












The one below is a Heucherella,..'Sweet Tea',..growers used Heuchera 'Villosa' to produce it.


Below another Heucherella 'Sweer Tea',..this one kept in less sun.



Campanula portenschlagiana.

Philip, may I compliment you. Not only for sharing your delightful garden with us but, your fabulous photos and camera work. I have done a fair bit of photography in the past, using roll film, colour slide etc and digital. Over the years my best cameras were the Exacta varex 11A, now an Olympus digital. My microscopes are fitted with special cameras and connected to the computer. This I don't really class as photography. There I go again, rambling away.

 

@Mike Allen ,..Hi Mike,..i don't have much luck with Cameras,..i had a Sony DSCW55,..mislaid it while in America,..purchased another one and broke it by mistake,..then purchased a Canon SX610 HS,..two weeks ago just after i uploaded images to my computer,..the telescopic lens opened fully and would not close,..tried every tip in the book and on the internet to remedy the problem,..no luck,..so i ordered another Sony DSCW55 through Amazon just two days ago,..as its in transit i had another go at the telescopic lens that were stuck out,..tried brute force as it would cost as much to fix as a new camera,..lo and behold its working again,..now i have two lol,..the Sony and the Canon are pretty much the same size,..its the Sony that has proved the better one.

I just uploaded the video below tonight in YouTube.

August Roses 2019

 

Sempervivum tectorum 'Hens and Chicks'


There are lots of the plant below growing along the river,..i took one home and its thriving this past two years,..blooms are the size of a cup.

Caltha palustris 'Marsh Marigold' also named 'King-Cup'


Rose ( Rosa 'Ice Cream' ) at one time it was also named Rose ( Rosa 'Memorie' )



The video of Rose ( Rosa 'Ice Cream' ),..long tune and long video,..all of 10 mins.

 

Amaryllis 'Minerva'









Amaryllis 'Royal Red'

 

So far my Amaryllis have bloomed when ever they get the notion,..be it Spring,.. Summer,..Autumn,..or Winter,..they really looked well at Christmas one year,..big blooms as well,..just a tad off 7 Cm.



Sedum ' Green Ice '.



Lemon Balm ' Melissa officinalis ',..it does have a strong Lemon Scent when crushed.




The Hedgehog did make a good examination of this scrubbing brush.



The grumpy crew,..outside my back door,..waiting to be fed 'Meal Worms'.






A blast from the past,..in fact 2011,..i was contacted yesterday by 'Brian Carter' who composed the music i use in the video below,..my first contact was in 2011,..so the video below.

 

I have a couple of Amaryllis bulbs somewhere, a red and a candy stripe. Philip, I think you mean 7ins not cms.

I just love the 'Grumpy Crew'
