I planted some iris bulbs earlier this year and they are opening now.
This cordiline was quite a small plant in a pot when we got it home in the car years ago. It is huge now and has lots of flower branches, it had one stem last year which I was thrilled with. It is a massive plant now.
The large tree in the park that overhangs our garden isn’t in good shape and this large branch is now in our garden!
When I was sorting yesterday evening I found this amaryllis, the pot was bone dry, it has been there probably over a year but it had green shoots! So it is now watered and in the light, fingers crossed.
I had enough from yesterdays sorting to take another trolley load along to the charity shop!
A couple more garden photos. The poppies are flourishing.
And this fabulous bud opens into a spiky yellow daisy, but the buds are so attractive.
The window guys finished Tina’s window and the downstairs loo and were on their way before 2pm. They have booked the Air B&B again for another three nights the week after next to come and sort the rest of the windows downstairs. They have done a fantastic job and left everything Spock and span.
I may just take a couple of cans into the front garden and water the bonsais tonight,
Well considering the garden hasn’t had much water lately the plants seem to be flourishing well. You have a lot of lovely blooms and colours.
ReplyDeleteThe tree from the park doesn’t look wonderful. A bit of chopping up and someone who likes burning things might come in handy 🙂
The amaryllis looks quite healthy considering it’s been forcibly hibernating for a year. Hopefully it’ll spring into bloom with a bit of TLC…..and water.
You’ve done a few miles with that trolley. Do you take a brick to put in front of the wheel to stop it escaping these days? 😊
Not too long to wait for the window men to return. Although they’ve finished the most important ones….yours 😂 You’ll miss them not being there.
There have been quite a variety of colourful blooms this year and some that haven’t survived as well.
ReplyDeleteWhen I take the trolley I go to a different charity shops, bit further away but flat pavement so no escaping trolley antics.
I think Tina is reporting the branch to the local council, as she has reported how much it overhangs our garden before, so I am forbidden to move it!
It will be good to get the rest of the windows done, e guys are no trouble, friendly and considerate.
