Hiya Pac— of course I try and be respectful. Mate you deserve so much respect for what you have accomplished there…and what you continue to accomplish there. Your work is such a big ask on you. I know that. Jeepers, that arrangement that you made is quite something. Spectacular. All those flowers, and from your garden. Mate, you could sell those masterpieces. That Agastache is a real looker, isn’t it. We know it here as a “liquorice plant”, not only this Agastache, but the other members in this family as well. The pollinators love them all. Loggie— that hanger is so lovely. Your Fuchsia's really do look good. I like Fuchsias so much.
Thank you Sjoerd I appreciate your kind acknowledgements. @Logan that hanging fuchsia basket is a great addition for the front porch. I bet it is a popular view for smiles from all your friends and neighbors.
Just been round taking shots of some of our Dahlias to decide which I want to divide up to become gap fillers next year .I 'm so worried that our garden will look a tad sparse next Summer . Thought I would share the pics here, some may look the same but they are all different in either bloom shade or leaf
Last couple... And last but not least this very sorry looking Cactus one ..the pot got knocked over and it's currently looking very battered, hopefully it will soon perk up though
Oreti Lovely display of your beautiful collection of dahlias. It is now officially dahlia season til fall.
Thanks Pac, it certainly is. Deadheading is a full time job now isn't it. It's worth the daily task to encourage them to keep going for as long as possible.
Oreti that is one of the most beautiful hollyhocks I’ve ever seen. And so many lovely blooms in your fantastic garden. Looking back at the hibiscus is such a soft pink and look at those ping pong yellow ? I can’t remember the name of them? I use them a lot in dried floral arrangements. And they last a long time. It looks like a very special day in your garden all the gardens overtones of bright large flowers with undertones of small blooms and leaves of hedges to fill in a nicely well executed colorful and well groomed amazingly designed garden.
Who said ,”What’s in a name?” William Shakespeare. In a play he wrote , What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell just as sweet.” William Shakespeare uses this line in his play Romeo and Juliet to convey that the naming of things is irrelevant.
Thanks again Pac for your kind comments. As I said above to Daniel.....I'm very bad on names...always have been, even on people's names too. The yellow plants actually have a delicious pineapple scent...I will have to look to see if I still have the pkt of left over seeds . Every season I promise myself to note down names and to write out labels...I start off well but.......... As you so rightly say...' what's in a name ' , I call them all my little beauties!
