Cheers to Debby H again for sending us an update on her garden. It’s looking great by the way! These two pictures of the ornithogalum are brilliant. You can see on the picture below that four flowers are now clearly visible. They are something else.

Also the cosmos (below) are still going strong and the flowers are still well colourful.

As Debby wrote “Finally, the zephyranthes bulbs are blooming. We have never managed to get more than one or two flowers in a year. Now we have four coming at once! Amazing what a change of compost will do!” That plant is great. We’ve never grown those before but probably will now as there’s all sort of varieties out there. We were influenced with the cosmos and will look into these bulbs too. That’s what gardening is all about, being inspired by what other people grow in their garden. Cheers Debby!

Another report from north London

A big thanks to Debby H for sending us pictures of her garden now everything’s starting to hot up in the growing stakes.

Above is the Iris which is now flowering with some rather colourful geraniums below it.

The peonies (above) are great, we’ve got one with a deep red/purple flower but we’re liking the ones in white! We can see some staking going on here, in our garden the bush tends to grow out a bit competing with other plants for space and then flops over a bit after the rain. That’s where the staking comes in handy. Loving those white blooms.

Above is the ceanothus bush which is going at great guns and we’ve just read the plant has nitrogen fixing properties. New thing to us!

And finally the zephyranthes flower which is “slightly battered” as Debby described it but it still looks great to us. Cheers again for the pictures Debby!
