My Cottage Garden,..glengarry23.

Musk Mallow 'Malva moschata'






Rose ( Rosa 'Korresia' )



No Id Climber.


Another No Id Rose.

 

Same image of my one and only Sunflower,..its seed arrived with others from New Mexico,..i should have sown a few more as this one looks a beauty.










Clematis Dorothy Walton,..i cut it down to the soil yesterday and may move it as its in my way.



Two bunches of red blooms on this No Id rose.

 

Hollyhock blooms,..these are facing back to back.



Barefaced.



Rose ( Rosa 'Sunsprite' )



Rose ( Rosa 'Korresia' )



Huge bunch of roses,..approx 20 in all.



This No Id Climber Rose often produces bunches like above,..plus the one below.

 

Lovely Philip. My Sunseeker does bunches.

 

@Victoria ,..that is a beautiful bunch Victoria,..in both images the contrast in colour of the fading roses against the newer blooms really makes your 'Sunseeker' a very beautiful showy rose.

 

Lavatera 'Baby Barnsley'.






Progress of the Date Palm Tree,..getting taller and a second stem appearing.



Candelabra 'Aloe arborescens'



Every year i have to really think on when to cut back my Delphiniums,..if i wait until they have fully stopped producing blooms then there isn't enough time in the season to have them start growing again and produce another burst of blooms.

Or do i cut them back while they blooming but are almost finished blooming,..in the hope there is time for another growth and burst of blooms.

How they have grown since i cut them back in the image below,..but not for the hope of another burst of blooms,..its for cuttings,..as the cuttings taken now will harden over the remainder of Summer and Autumn and go through a natural stratification period,..then bloom next year.

I find taking cuttings now is best as explained above,..rather than take cuttings next Spring from young stems that may well have being a stem that would have produced a bloom.


The new growth now.

 

There is always one,..a Lantern from Chilean Lantern Tree 'Crinodendron hookerianum '.



Lace Hydrangea.






More Sunflower ' Moulin Rouge '.






Rose ( Rosa ' Sunsprite ' )

 

Feeling like i was abducted by aliens and prodded and probed but great results,..nothing at all amiss with my ticker but nobody so far has explained why i had the jolt in the first place.

Some more images of the Sunflower 'Moulin Rouge'.






Hibiscus Woodbridge.



Rose ( Rosa ' Korresia' )



Rose ( Rosa ' Sunsprite ' )


A No Id Rose.

 

I must have missed something here Any old how, I am pleased you are alive and well as I had noticed your absence.

Blooms beautiful as always and I see there are some raindrops on them. Please stop hogging the rain!

 

@Victoria ,..this was the week i waited for since last April,..due to the Virus all Cardiac appointments were cancelled so all i knew was i had a heart attack,..then blood tests and Cardiac Charts looked at,.. but no Specialists involved until this week,..after the Cardiac Probe,..nothing amiss found,..so batteries and the like not required .

A No Id Rose.



Hollyhocks still producing blooms.


Double Hibiscus 'Woodbridge'.



Cape Fuchsia ' Pygelius Funfare Orange'.

 

It's good to hear all is well with your 'ticker' Philip.

 

My, doesn't time pass quickly when you are having fun! April? I thought maybe you had had another incident. So pleased all went well and that you'll be around visiting us.

Love that Cape Fuchsia and all that rain makes everything so lush.

 

Thanks Sheal,..i was not expecting such good news and was prepared for the worse,..hopefully it was a one off attack down to the pressure on the chest during the intense reflux bout.

 

Thankfully not another attack though since last April every time i got a stab of pain in my chest i thought here we go again,..that was the mindset and i wasn't worried as i have my house in order as they say,..my Solicitor arrived in April and made out my new will on the bonnet of my car,..seeing they were not allowed to enter a house due to the Virus,..mentioning the Virus,..only one death in the past few days though the total now is 1.778,..that includes 4 Cities.

 

Fuchsia 'Magellancia'.
