Clematis Polish Spirit


Good Old Crocosmia

 

I thought I'd seen an August one started by Victoria or am I going nuts

 

No Bilbo I ve just been looking for it. A potted hibiscus and I replied to her post too Night time gremlins at work ?

 

Ive not took many pics last few days but this one i found an achievement...because out of the 100 plus i grew form seed the slugs didnt eat it A dahlia prob not the prettiest but what a survivor

 

Agastache 'Apricot Sprite'

Crocosmia 'Lucifer' and 'Ricinus' (why the heck I put that pink cosmos in there I'll never know)

Gloriosa Daisies, grew these from seed last year didn't think they'd come back, but have done even better than last year.


Digitalis Ferruginea (rusty foxglove) very small flowers but so pretty close up.

My hebe that I had to cut right to the ground last year after THAT winter, but this year its grown back great.

 

Potentilla 'Helen Jane'

Potentilla 'Monarchs Velvet'

Telekia Speciosa

Salvia 'Dolichantha'

Ligularia 'Britt-marie-crawford'
Michauxia Tchihatcheffii, so excited about this one grown from seed last autumn, covered in buds.
