Last year I planted 3 dahlias (a mistake but, as it turned out, an excellent one). They were a mass of colour last year and have come up this year. The red and white are flowering well and the yellow now has buds. The white is next to some really dark purple/blue petunias.

We had a lovely day here yesterday, and lots of rain overnight, to be greeted with a grand morning.



Yes, that is blue sky.

Will be firing-up the BBQ later.

Great photos there Steve. Used to love taking such photos of wildlife but sadly no longer due to the shakes, so delighted to see yours

Could it be Cedum Spectablis ?

 

[NOTSHARP]

Could it be Cedum Spectablis ?

Cedum, yes, and possibly this variety.

Sedum spectabile Carl - Orpin d'Automne

Une variété récente, trapue et compacte, à floraison rose vif qui dure jusqu'à la fin de l'automne. Solides et charnues, les tiges portent un feuillage épais vert-argenté. Une plante des plus accommodantes, adaptée aux terrains secs, qui demande très peu d'entretien et donne un charme...

For those that had some poppy seeds, the late ones that I decided to sow, are showing signs that I may see at least a couple of late blooms, if the weather holds.






Fingers crossed.



Steve.

 

[Astoness]

[NOTSHARP]

I did tell you that, garden wise, things were slow this far North.

At long last, there are signs of flowering on my Honeysuckle and Clem.

Pete and I have been in touch regarding a different subject.

Glad to say that he is OK, but has been busy of late taking care of a personal matter.

Thanks for the update Steve.

My dried out Lacecap seems to have survived.



A nice spell of weather has bought things along nicely.







Even The Hooligan, seems to sense something in the air.
