The Two Sisyrinchium I missed!

I posted the flower shots from the Sisyrinchium varieties I have a few days ago. I missed out the yellow one and I have since found that I have a light blue one as well! No idea where I got it from, I thought it was a ‘Californicum’  up until the flower opened! I have swapped that many plants this last year I have lost track lol.

Common Spotted Orchid – Dactylorhiza fuchsii

I have a few of these that had self seeded into pots. I wasn’t sure what variety of orchid they were until they flowered. Not thanks to the power of social media I have them identified as Common Spotted Orchid – Dactylorhiza fuchsii. My next challenge is to get them into a kusamono planting next year.

My Satsuki

This is my satsuki azalea, I have it more for flowers than for bonsai but it gives me pleasure at this time of year. I didn’t let it flower last year to help build strength. It has four flower types  but I have only put photos of three below. The missing one is a pale pink flower with a dark pink stripe. Those ones have still to open. The first few photos where taken a few days apart so you can see it opening.

Friends Flowers

I visited a friends garden a few days back and snapped a few of his flowers in the garden. Some stunning clematis.

Hawthorn in Flower

At last it’s peaked 🙂 Still very early days with this Hawthorn on it’s bonsai journey but always nice to see flowers.
