    What an unusual and gorgeous poppy, rositu!

    Love your Incarvillea, strongy. After years of blooming, I think mine has gone to Flower Heaven, so I planted some new ones just over a week ago. I think it was too late to see them bloom this year, but next year for sure.

      pete, shall I tell you to p*ss off ????? xx

      It has been blue for the last two years and this year is pink .... why? Ordinary ... they like damp, dull climates .... :confused:

      The orange Bougie is great, on the new kitchen patio but I've had it for a couple of years and it's struggling ... but surviving. :thumb:

      Jacaandas are late here this year .... but I'm not complaining and I'll be taking a few pics this month. :)

      Callistemon 'Mauve Mist'
      It is pink, the 'mauve' refers to the coppery juvenile foliage when seen on masse supposedly looks mauve.:confused:

      How many different colours of bottle brush are you growing strongy?

      LOL, get some aluminium sulphate for the hydrangea.
