PINK

[Weeterrier]

I have two very similar, but I think this one is the Princess of Wales.

[Rosefriend]

Some more gorgeous pics there - thanks to all. Like Plocket I thought I recognized the Princess of Wales - gorgeous clem and mine flowered for weeks and weeks.

Rowan that Cosmea (?) is lovely isn't it.

wt, what's the plant in your second pic down? I'd like one of those. What can you tell me about it? (Not one of you 'offaskipii' is it? ;D

[Weeterrier]

It is, but I'm pretty certain that it's Clematis 'Princess of Wales' Quite short growing, and flowers really well. You'll find it easily I should think.
All my Clematis are off of a skip, except one I bought from Taylor's when they came up here to do a talk.

[Plocket]

Where's this skip hey? I want a rummage

I think it's most likely Princess of Wales (renamed Princess Diana coz there's another Princess of Wales ) because of the depth of colour and the really upward facing flowers. I love it ;D

[Weeterrier]

You're right Plocket, I think it was Princess Diana ;D

We haven't had any pinks for ages!

This is my toad lily - it looks a bit pink but I'm sure it was more purple last year!

[Shrubrose]

That is gorgeous P. How tall does it get?

[Plocket]

Erm... mines a couple of foot high, and that's about the real size of the flowers. It's a late perennial and I always worry that the slugs and snails have destroyed it before it appears, but as you say it is lovely

[Shrubrose]

I shall look out for that one. At this rate my garden's going to be multi-coloured. Never mind!

Here's a humble sedum, growing in not very much on top of a wall

[Plocket]

Very pretty Shrubby!

Crocus sell toad lilies btw ;D

Hi all ... was debating whether to put this in 'pink' or 'red and orange'. Penstemon, from a cutting taken in the spring <smugsmiley>:

[Plocket]

Pink flowers from the Dorothy Clive garden yesterday:

Splash of Pink Penstemon..



And I'm rather hoping that with some imagination , you might also see abit of Pink in this Miscanthus ;D

[nightowl]

A very nice Fuchsia, still trying hard.

[carolann]

Oh nightowl that is georgous what is its name please, its looks like a salmon colour is that right?

[nightowl]

Sorry C, I got it cheap cos it was a lost-label. Starting to look like it might be hardy though!

[purplejulia]

I took this photograph of the pink hydrangeas in my brother-in law's garden in County Wicklow, Ireland, in July this year. They looked absolutely stunning!



PJ

[Shrubrose]

Oh that is lovely PJ. Did we really have that weather and those flowers this year? <wistfulsmiley>

[jc]

Hi jonah - what is the name of the sedum in your pic? it's a lovely pale pink colour
thanks

[jc]

whoops! you can tell i'm a newby! i thought there was only one page of pics! the above message was about a pic on page 1 sorry guys! ;D

[nightowl]

Hi JC and welcome. If you still want to know about the Sedum, go back to it and use the "quote" button, then add your question and everyone will know which one you are asking about.

Ooohh, it's so nice to get one here! I've had new windows fitted this week and have barely been able to get near the pc.
Here is my little pink patch, weeds and all:

It looks better in real life, haven't really mastered the camera very well. The agastache works very well with the sedum I think, with a purple berberis in between. There are meant to be echinaceas, erigerons and pink achillias in there too, but they are young plants so not done much yet.
How do I make the picture smaller?

hi this is the pic of the sedum, hope this comes out ok!
thanks

[Weeterrier]

Lovely pink patch. Very pretty combinations. ;D

[nightowl]

Hi JC. I've always known it as Sedum Saxatile, but I've just had a Google and found a site with 1,231 varieties of Sedum listed!!!

So maybe it's not so simple!

[roan]

Does this one qualify?

[Chuckles]

Roan that is a cracker of a flower, looks like a Hollyhocks flower but the leaves look different, what is it. See you have been posting on the other colour threads but not had chance to look at them yet

Been scanning back on here too, GH that Miscanthus has definately got a pinky look to it ;D
