WHAT'S LOOKING GOOD IN JANUARY 2019

Stunning

 

It's nice seeing the Snowdrops @Spruce. We don't get cold enough to see the lovely English Winter/Spring flowers.

 

In a neighbour's garden rather than my own, sadly - I think it's a variety of Japenese quince? The whole bush is teeming with flowers this year, I don't remember it being so striking before.

 

Almond Blossom ...



... and this is it taken a few years ago, looking down the lane you get the idea of the size. It is a pink one, so sadly bitter Almonds.

 

This Kniphofia is not supposed to be hardy. But it's worth a risk for flowers at this time of year.

 

What species is that Caroline?

 

Hi @longk it's called 'Christmas Cheer'. I suspect if I had kept it in the polytunnnel, it would have fulfilled its name! Seems to have produced a very vigorous plant.

 

When the sun shines on these, theres no need for flowers

 

@andrews they're great! Are they dasylirions or yucca or agave?

 

Hi CarolineL

Theres Yucca Faxoniania and two dasylirions. I'll dig out their names tomorrow as I'm really bad with plant names and its fast approaching my bedtime

Watch this space for agaves when we get to springtime - lots in the tunnel that need to be outside


Edit : @CarolineL I think they are dasylirion longissium and wheeleri


Andrew

 

wow @andrews - south yorkshire and they're surviving outside?

 

Sorry every one put pic up and forgot to comment these are pics of my home bred h x hybridus in the garden.
