Try saying that quickly after a glass of something So,here we are in June,spring is fading into Summer and at the moment everything looks lush(well it ought to with the amount of rain we have had :-? ) I love taking pictures after a rain storm...these poppies were going to be thrown out by a neighbour so I adopted them from him. ( photo / image / picture from Kiasmum's Garden ) ( photo / image / picture from Kiasmum's Garden ) The callistemon looks very pretty too. ( photo / image / picture from Kiasmum's Garden ) The warmer days are kind to the bees and other stranger insects. ( photo / image / picture from Kiasmum's Garden ) ( photo / image / picture from Kiasmum's Garden ) ( photo / image / picture from Kiasmum's Garden ) ( photo / image / picture from Kiasmum's Garden ) The Delosperma peridot is one of my latest arrivals and is destined for a sunny spot soon. A new arrival elosperma peridot ( photo / image / picture from Kiasmum's Garden ) The new aquilegias are doing very well Aquilegia McKana Hybrid doing very well. ( photo / image / picture from Kiasmum's Garden ) Clover obtained in a pot is very attractive Volunteer clover ( photo / image / picture from Kiasmum's Garden ) as is the campanula to the bees. and a pretty campanula ( photo / image / picture from Kiasmum's Garden ) Karin
This is a nice treat. I love the clover. Who in the world would throw out a Poppy??? Doesn't it make you wonder why????
Silly neighbour. Imagine throwing out Ladybird Poppies!! I'm so glad you took them. I like your new arrival (Delosperma peridot) with it's yellow, white and yellow flowers.
Very striking Poppy,..lucky you to salvage it,..don't forget to collect the seeds,..ah i am very fond of Campanula,..great to see the Bee's,..they are aplenty here just now.
Barb,it was because they were so successful in their garden and these were the excess. Netty,over the years we have swapped several plants and shrubs.When we had our front garden remodelled about 10years ago they had a couple of the more unusual shrubs which are now thriving there so all in all we must be about level pegging. Eileen, too much of a good thing and they were taking over their border.I think the delosperma is very pretty too-and drought resistant apparently,although I'm not sure that is going to be relevant this year... Thanks Cheryl,I hope they are. Philip,I hadn't thought that far ahead but perhaps might have done a spur-of the-moment collection. Glad you have plenty of bees too.
