PINK

[jean]

CC I sowed lots of annuals from a mixed packet hoping for for some white ones - they were all pink and I ended up cutting most of them down as I was over run with pink

Echinacea - this one can stay although its rather leggy.

Haven't had time to look through all of these before. My mouth is watering. What stunning flowers. Aren't cameras a great invention? And computers of course.

"A rose, by any other name, would smell as sweet." Just as well cos this one smells gorgeous, and I don't know its name!

Third time the Rhodo has flowered this year - never done that before - must have loved all that rain!

[JennyWrenn]

I have heard Rhody Dum Dums flower twice in a year but never three - WOW

Here is my Pink double hollyhock - bit battered and soggy with rain but flowering well and has many buds - sorry bit out of focus it was very windy tonight in the garden

Some pink blooms taken this morning.

Love that pink Phlox PG, it is a Phlox isn't it

[piggingardener]

Love that pink Phlox PG, it is a Phlox isn't it

It is indeed Chuckles. It was a tiny dried up little specimen when I planted it about 8 years ago. It smothers the Magnolia Stellata in front of it now and always gives a good display, however bad the summer has been. It's in more or less full shade too.

Just managed to get a couple of pics of my Hibiscus moscheutos "Galaxy".

The blooms are very large - 20 - 25 cms, which is lovely when it doesn't rain.......need I say more.



and deep inside

Gorgeous RF!

I love hibiscus flowers. Some of them are hardier than you may think too.

[Rosefriend]

They really are lovely aren't they - these are supposed to be hardy to minus 20..........mmmh I shall no doubt find out the hard way!!

My Monarda did turn out to be pink after all but I do like it, hoping the other one might be red will have to wait and see.

[Rosefriend]

They looks lovely JL - I used to have a lot but I had so much trouble with Mildew and eventually got rid of them..... a shame when I see yours..

[jean]

Grew a few from seed last year RF and was so pleased to find one in flower. Will look out for mildew, thanks for the tip

[JennyWrenn]

I had some lovely Monardas sown for the BBC trials - I think last year- but they didnt show again this year - are they annuals? Have asked this Q before and no one seems to answer

[jean]

Its a perennial Jenny, think I might have a go at taking some cuttings and see what happens.

[Rosefriend]

Just been in the garden to see what's left.





and the large Hibiscus flowers seem to be getting darker and darker for some reason.

Thankfully pink comes in lots of shades, some a lot more palatable than others.

Everlasting sweetpea




Japanese anenome/wind flower (shame it doesn't come in a red)

Pelargonium



Sara

[Rosefriend]

In Germany they call that type of Pelargonium the English Pelargonium - no idea why. There are some lovely tones aren't there and that is particularly nice.

I have taken cuttings this year from pelargoniums for the first time in years and it is also the first time that I haven't had this type.
