Beautiful pics Rosefriend and Barbara

I love this Calibroacha



Don't know the name of this Rose

[Geranium]

Love your 'Don't Know' rose. i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd161/GWDAdmin1/Smilies/Default/cheesy.gif



Veronica spicata



Rosa 'Ballerina'



New Achillea sibirica - bought at Hampton Court. I've planted it now. i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd161/GWDAdmin1/Smilies/Default/smiley.gif



Lychnis chalcedonica 'Dusty Pink'.

[Geranium]

More pink flowers...I do seem to have a lot!



My sweet peas are rubbish this year, cos I couldn't look after them - but the everlasting one is blooming now.



Cistus 'Sunset'.



Hardy Gerberas. (The new 'garvinea' ones didn't survive! )



A miracle! Hydrangeas don't do well in my garden - this one has five flowers on it this year! i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd161/GWDAdmin1/Smilies/Default/grin.gif

Lovely pinks Geranium, I especially like the look of the Achillea sibirica further up.

I have terrible trouble growing Delphiniums & normally have to lavish loads of attention on them.
Due to a lack of attention when I was planting up the new bed, I plonked in what I thought was a hardy Geranium that was on my pot stand, turns out it was a Pink Delphinium from when I was growing them in pots the other year. It's had no special attention or extra blue pellets & it's surrounded by loads of foliage & it's doing fine i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd161/GWDAdmin1/Smilies/Default/cheesy.gif

It is really a lovely colour...

That's a cracker Jilly, more white than pink, subtle not 'in yer face'

[Geranium]

Beautiful! i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd161/GWDAdmin1/Smilies/Default/smiley.gif Pity there isn't a fourth nom...

I've discovered that Begonias stand up to the weather better than most other container plants, so I'll add some more to my list for next summer. i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd161/GWDAdmin1/Smilies/Default/smiley.gif Have you found the same, Jilly?

[Auricula]

Lovely delicate colour, love it

[Jilly]

Thanks for the noms i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd161/GWDAdmin1/Smilies/Default/smiley.gif

I have found that they stand up well Geranium, as long a I remember to tie the hanging basket up so that it doesn't move around too much in the wind, some of the stems are quite brittle.

Plus these are 4 that I got free with T&M a few years ago, the corms get bigger each year but I keep putting them in the same basket, things are getting rather crowded atm i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd161/GWDAdmin1/Smilies/Default/embarassed.gif i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd161/GWDAdmin1/Smilies/Default/grin.gif

Your begonia is stunning Jilly - I love it ;D

[isabella]

[Geranium]

Oooh, just beautiful! That hanging basket is soooo pretty! i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd161/GWDAdmin1/Smilies/Default/smiley.gif



I'm not allowed to have hanging baskets - it's illegal to 'attach' things to a listed building, apparently. i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd161/GWDAdmin1/Smilies/Default/sad.gif

[isabella]

Thankyou so much for the nom Geranium

Not sure of this Penstemons name

[Jasmine]

It's very pretty colours Pam!

[Jilly]

Wow that's lovely Isabella, a for your beautiful hanging basket too.

Not sure where to put this, this is my only Hollyhock that isn't white, the centre is pink, but the outside is more the colour of antique lace.


Jillyx

[Ladygardener]

Isabella for your smashing basket.
Jilly that's such a delicate Hollyhock.

[Tig]

I've got a couple of Lily the Pinks ....



This is very bright for a lily - it was in a mixed bag I rescued a couple of years ago from Wilkies



x Tig

[Jilly]

Lovely Tig, makes all your beetle stomping this year worth it i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd161/GWDAdmin1/Smilies/Default/smiley.gif

Some of the Roses have started on their late flush.

This is my recently acquired sanguisorba obtusa, shame that the colour fades quite quickly in strong sunlight



Rescued begonia corms have done quite well



Hydrangea which came from a cutting from my parents garden many, many years ago



and this pink which was a cutting from my wreath at my Dads funeral (not morbid, happy to remember him every time it flowers)



These have been amazing, will grow them again next year ... from this



to this



another phlox I rescued last year, can't remember it's name though

[Geranium]

Lovely pinks! (No pun intended...)

Here are a few of mine.

Rosa 'Caribbean Dawn'




Chelone obliqua



Diascia personata - this has done so well this year! i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd161/GWDAdmin1/Smilies/Default/smiley.gif



Hemerocallis 'Catherine Woodbury'

[Rosefriend]

Finally flowered Barbara...

[Barbara]

oh wow RF after all that, I hope you don't get overrun with it now.

[Rosefriend]

Well believe it or not our winter can kill them very well if they have got a mind to... Olaf told me that they had only just their stocks up again after losing nearly all of them this last winter.. !!

It's lovely though and I am really pleased that it has decided to flower...thanks again..

RF

[Jasmine]

I have plenty I can send him RF! ;D

[Rosefriend]

Well as he is now a member on GWD - you can tell him...hahaha!!

Olaf's brother is one of the leading perennial gardeners in NW Germany and the other brother is one of the leading tree gardeners...

[Jasmine]

Where, where, where? ;D

[Rosefriend]

Newbie "Jever" is Olaf Schachtschneider...

Forgotten the name but the whole plant is stunted - only as high as the length of my hand....
