in that case I am stumped.
brilliant re your eyes. :o)

what about Brugmansia [angel's trumpets]? is it in your garden Spritz?
Have you had your eyes done yet?

The flowers remind me of Hibiscus rosa-sinensis but the leaves are not the right shape.

Hi Barbara, long time no see :) Hope you are well ...
I have been missing from GoY for a while myself.

So glad to hear that they have both been done now. It takes a little while after the op for the eye to settle down.
Glad that you can see the lovely colours again & enjoy
gardening again.

not sure could it be Mirabillis?
its very pretty what ever it is.

I do like the leaves on this one.

That looks very sweet.

Very pretty variation.

good colour indeed.

Does this have those very fine hairs on the reverse of the leaves?

That is very pretty. Is the scent as strong as the plain one?

like the tinge of pink in this one Spritz.

A favourite of mine. Shame it has no scent but the colour is special.

Beautiful pink!

A lovely strong pink.

I dont know why, but Ive never grown this in this garden.

Mine did too and I always manage to keep it for about 2 yrs then loose it.

I have her sister Ann. Lovely iris but mine nowhere as far on as yours.

I cant get this to grow for me, the yellow one definitely.

this is lovely Spritz.

Takes me back - Mum used to grow this!

Ditto... I could not do anything in the garden either and this was during the summer months which resulted in my garden being consumed by weeds. It really surprised me as how fast it happened.

Lovely flowers, Spritz! I like them very much!

Much earlier into flower than mine although my Aspodeline lutea is blooming now.

Congratulations, Spritz, on having your first cataract done! The time will soon fly & you'll be back out in the garden with much improved sight just in time for the glorious colours of summer!

Thats a relief for you to have one done, I was also unable to have both done together Spritz, I had that one done later and have never looked back... You have my every sympathy as regards not being able to do your gardening, my family more or less tied me down in the end because I couldn't resist doing a few jobs , lol.....

so glad one eye now sorted. No gardening is a pain but not worth damaging your eyesight. just sit and stare and enjoy all your hard work.

Well, some good came out of your blood clot! At least you discovered the cataract & got it fixed. I was scared stiff when I had my cataract op. but it was nothing to worry about, just as everyone said.

I found out that I had cataracts when I went temporarily blind in one eye from a blood clot resultant from the two shot covid19 vaccine (I will not mention which vaccine it was). The clot broke down in the emergency room in about 4 hours with full vision returning in the affected eye. During this episode I noticed that the vision in the eye I could see out of was not good at all ... that’s how I found out about my cataracts. Anyway, I found both procedures to be very relaxing and enjoyable and I hope that you will too.

Hi Spritz, so sorry to hear you’ve been having a pretty awful time of it. Pleased you’re having your op done soon! The waiting lists have been absolutely horrendous.I do hope you are doing ok after the falls and not having any more? The first pic is a very pretty selection of plants and colour! Wishing you well and best of luck with your procedure x

Hello Spritz, so nice to see you again ,I say'see' in relation to the many of us that have also had Cataracts removed, and the best thing ever,in my case,as I had to wear glasses from the age of 10,and decades later,owing to failing sight,and modern technology,I only need glasses for reading now. A whole new world will open up for you,so that Hairy Bittercress won't stand a chance,when you are all ready to do battle with it Lol Good luck..x
