Thanks Eileen...I wasn't sure how the matt black would look..
On the wooden bench a pidgeon has kindly relieved itself..must have been there a couple of days...I found wD 40 loosened it!!

Wow I don't know where to start..what a beautiful collection of shrubs Klahanie...your garden is very special. I have picked the Almond tree blossom as my favourite!

Ah,thank you both ..I'll keep an eye to see if any more appear.

Thanks Karen 🙂.

that looks very smart Julia. Need to give our garden chairs a good clean before too long. sadly the birds regularly perch on them and poop. supposedly lucky????

Wow and flowering, beautiful, I've always liked this plant too but never grown it :-)

Hi Heronbay, long time no see as they say.

Does it have black berries? thats unusual for a holly.

as you'd have to water a tub daily why not water it in the ground daily instead. Once established it will cope better in the ground. I have a holly in full sun and it is quite happy.

we've not had much rain of late which wont help.

Thank you both :-)

Shirley is correct but at this time of year it is most likely frost damage.
one of mine is showing this and it s 2 weeks since we had a sharp frost.

Yes I agree it's a good one :-)

It’s a beauty.

Hahaha!!

Thanks Sheila ... today the garden has had Magpies, Crows and Seagulls all fighting for their territory ... noisy lot!

Julia, I found this info:

A clematis leaf may appear multi-colored due to several reasons, including green petal disorder (a transient issue related to cold temperatures) and certain varieties naturally exhibiting green markings or leaf-like patterns on their petals. Other possibilities include clematis slime flux, powdery mildew, or even diseases like clematis wilt.

Great photo Shirley!

I agreex

😘

I will try much harder and you may have a surprise when you wake tomorrow. No,not Michael bringing you breakfast on a tray,but a very sunny day!

Welcome to my world! :o)x

Her memory lives on via the Acer ... :o)

Julia, it was wet and windy overnight, dry and cloudy with a brief burst of sunshine earlier but grey sky again now ... please try harder!!

Thanks Klahanie.

Julia, they are such clumsy birds, always landing on top of shrubs, but it was sweet to see this pair together.

A great choice!

It certainly was ... :o)

Daylily, I can't decide if I like the scent of mine!

Thanks David, it hasn't looked this good for a while.

Josie, I agree with you there. This morning I saw a couple of fabulous Wisteria plants.

Oh yes! That’s more like it! X :) I get mine mixed up too. I struggle sometimes to remember names now.

This was my neighbours 10 years ago..inherited it when she sadly died.

Okx

Have you got it? Half and half here.

It’s growing very well here outside in semi-shade, so far.

I can't say I like them Shirley, they are quite destructive here but that is a sweet photo.

It likes being in the window with the sunshine as it's got another flower shoot coming up.

🥰 I'm sure he's happy with you Klahanie.

Thank you so much Rose and Eileen...I love the word 'bimble' it is so apt for that morning.

Julia, Hedgehog is overlooking our action all the time. I hope he is happy with us. He makes me smile every time I look at him. He also makes me to admire your talent and generosity.. Thank you.

I shall look forward to a sunny day tomorrow ... :o)) x

Julia, I shall reply to your message tomorrow as off to bed with my book now ... :o)

Karen, apologies to you as I have totally mixed up my Geraniums!

This should be titled 'G. macrorrhizum 'Ingwersen's variety' which I bought from the rescue bench at a GC.

Ah Klahanie I wish I could send you one but fear it might not arrive intact...by the way how is the Hedgehog doing?

I would imagine it's the time it has taken to grow...the care also. I've seen them for sale ,very small ones outside Tesco..12.95.

Sending it now Shirley!
Thank you so much Klahanie.

The best Choisya by far.

I love the colour and long season.

Cute picture.

It was the first geranium I ever grew!

I’m glad you can grow some!

I’m a bit picky about them as you know Shirley. This one is very lovely!

Oh dear…I think I sent you the wrong plant. That’s not blauwvoet. That looks more like a cantabrigiense variety. Blauwvoet is much taller and violet-mauve. It’s a G. Phaeum. Sorry!

That was a pretty one!

Thanks Shirley. X
