What's in bloom in July 2020

[Tig]

Angelface is such a good performer, and a rose that links many of us through our gardens. Lots of colour at the moment.

[maggy]

It’s really July now isn’t it ?

I wanted to show you this lovely Rhoda ? Or do you think azalea ? Anyway I cut it right back two years ago as it was leggy , the rosettes are much bigger than the last time it flowered.

[maggy]

A couple more

[Tig]

Blimey July snook up on me, one day is much like another at the moment. I just go on size for rhodos/azaleas maggy, the latter being low growing and more compact, where as the rhodos are much taller, unless you cut them back very short

[Ladygardener]

Fabulous colours Tig, what is the plant in the container to the right of the large blue one in pic 2? love those Cosmos, which ones are they?

maggy your phlox seem to be blooming early, they're smashing. I always think of Azalea as being more compact than Rhododendron but I have'nt a clue.

Whatever it is its buddy lovely.

LG the plants in the pot to the right of the blue one are zinderella zinnias, the cosmos is bipinnatus Velouette.

Dutchy that 'lily' is an iris ensata, bred in Holland with flowers that are 6" in diameter and very waxy, they are called Dinner Plate iris, and I bought a collection from T & M last year which included Tiramisu, Ice Cream & Blueberry Pie, that one doesn't look like any I bought but is similar to one called Harlequinesque but mine is more purple.

A few more which are out, iochroma australe has such lovely blue bells.

[maggy]

You have a fantastic collection of exotic plants I have never heard of Tig, I love iochroma its one to keep an eye out for.

[Tig]

It's not 100% hardy maggy. I have to grow it in a container in a sheltered position, it wouldn't survive a hard winter.

A few more pics from yesterday, including one of the phormiums in flower and a striped carnation grown from seed last year.

[Ladygardener]

More great pics Tig, your garden is looking great. Love that iochroma australe and the little carnation is beautiful too. The peach coloured Dierama is very unusual, lovely colour.

[Dutchy]

I love the way the dark shrubs mix with the variegated ones and make a fab backdrop for all those flowers.
I have Dierama at the plot but the poor thing is struggling. I do love to see healthy ones on here

[Ladygardener]

Some pics Jenny took last week when she went to pick up some bits for me. Everything is well overgrown but there's plenty of colour.

[Jasmine]

Lovely pics Tig, what is the rose, it is a gorgeous colour?

Your garden is doing very well Ladygardener, bet your neighbours are enjoying it in your absence!

[Ladygardener]

Thanks Jasmine I think my neighbours won't be impressed at how much everything has grown although the one to my left will like the flowers but they both like their gardens to be neat and tidy and organised

[Barbara]

It just shows our gardens don't really need us do they, it looks gorgeous Ladygardener,.





Tomorrow maybe ?

[Ladygardener]

Thanks Barbara, I'm sure everything would be dead in my garden if Jenny had'nt gone up once a month and watered and checked everything for me. As it is, I have lost a fair bit but that just creates new planting opportunities for next year.

Your Lilies will be worth waiting for.

[Tig]

It's Hot Chocolate Jasmine.

If not tomorrow, then soon Barbara, a bit of sun wouldn't go amiss I expect!

I love a jungle LG, even if you've lost a few bits it doesn't look like there are many spaces

[Dutchy]

LG things look lovely in your garden. Your own tamed jungle. Well it will be tamed again in the future but it does look like as Barbara says our gardens can do without us.
Mind if it takes too long things will end up like a forest as that is what nature in temperate areas wants to turn into.
But you'll be back before that happens. And have new planting opportunities... hope you have a suitable bank account to go with them

[Ladygardener]

Ha ha Dutchy, I've saved a fair bit being in lock down since 2nd week in March, apart from a few plants.....

Down with ungrateful neighbours Ladygardener!!!

That lily is going to be amazing when it opens Barbara.

Thanks Tig, I love the colour.  I am hankering after some new roses.....

[maggy]

Your gardens looking lovely Ladygardener, people that like neat gardens aren’t gardeners

[Jasmine]

My little Northampton Morrison's sunflower sunsation...£2!

[Barbara]

It finally opened.

[Jasmine]

Lovely colour Barbara, I love lilies but I can't keep up with the wretched lily beetles.

[Ladygardener]

Beautiful colour Barbara.

Love your Sunflower Jasmine.

Full of colour Barbara, those lilies in the last pic are very striking, are they scented? they look really tall too.
