As before, I'm including some of the more interesting plants and, while the photos have not all been taken today, the plants are all in flower today.
 |
| Roscoea beesiana - another pretty little ginger for semi shade |
 |
| Agapanthus 'Northern Star' - a robust deciduous type with large heads of dark blue flowers |
 |
| Japanese anemone - Anemone x hybrida 'Honorine Jobert' |
 |
| Crocosmia x crocosmiiflora - a bit weedy but good for bright colour in shade |
 |
| Geranium 'Buxton's Blue' - a nice clump forming hardy geranium |
 |
| Geranium wlassovianum - another good clump former |
 |
| Lobelia 'Fan Scarlet' - short lived but very pretty perennials |
 |
| Rosa 'Graham Thomas' - one of the English shrub roses |
 |
| Tillandsia cyanea - in my little shade house |
 |
| Clematis texensis 'Princess of Wales' - providing secondary colour on my winter jasmine |
 | ||
| Trachelospermum jasminoides - beautifully scented evergreen climber growing by the rear garden gate |
 |
| Begonia boliviensis 'Bonfire' - a summer visitor dying back to a tuber for overwintering |
You've shown some beautiful blooms. I just love your 'Bonfire'. That's a Begonia I've never seen before. I adore you Geraniums and that Agapanthus is gorgeous! Such an enjoyable GBBD post.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful display with lots of my favourites. I simply love Japanese anemone - I have one of the x honorine Joubert - wish I had bought hundreds when I had the opportunity. I love it when there are a batch all planted together.
ReplyDeleteHappy GBBD :)
Lovely photos, lovely blooms! You took fantastic macro shots of your beautiful garden blooms! Happy GBBD!
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone. Plant and garden photography has been one of my passions since I picked up my first Olympus SLR back in the early 80's - but digital has made it so much easier.
ReplyDeleteLovely post, I adore those Geraniums...and that Clematis is too charming!
ReplyDeleteThat Clematis texensis is so beautiful and very long-blooming. I think I need it in my garden.
ReplyDeleteI only got the clematis this year and it's already exceeding my expectations. It should be good for hotter climates than mine given it's origins as a texensis hybrid.
ReplyDeleteDear John, I love this post. The agapanthus is one of my favorites. My mother grows it in her garden in England, but it doesn't survive the winter here in Pennsylvania. P.
