Below are some of the petunias I have in containers. There is also a fuschia in the middle somewhere! Oh, and the little fella by the tub is called 'Gobby Goblin'. His friend is the other side of the patio and is called 'Happy Goblin'.
This is the shadiest side of the garden and the picture was taken in the middle of the day. I will have to take some more when it's cloudy too but you can see how everything has grown.
The garden really has filled out now and in a few days I will take some pictures of the nemesias and other plants that have just settled in where the wallflowers were.
All of the pink flowers that you can see in these two pictures are Peruvian Lillies or alstroemeria and they are a dwarf variety. The plant was expensive when I bought it but it spreads like mad. It has these strange long fleshy tubers rather like thin, rounded white carrots that go down about ten inches into the soil. The bees love it (and so do the slugs and snails)!
I will have to get some more close-ups but I needed to water everything as it's been so dry.
Hi Grandma!
ReplyDeleteYour garden is breathtaking! All you need now is a rock water fountain to top it all off.
You certainly have green fingers.
Yes! Please take more closeup pics when you can. I love your flowers.
Oh Robin!
ReplyDeleteI would love to have a small fountain but this is only a rented property and the landlady doesn't like beautiful gardens! Besides, there isn't really any room.
If I had my way I would have hanging baskets too but because the property is so old and not kept up together, they would probably pull the walls down!
