Confused Rhododendron

This Rhododendron is a variety called Blue Diamond and normally flowers in March/April. As you can see, it’s decided to flower now. I’m not exactly sure why. It may be due to the fact that I removed nearly all of the flowers this Spring to help the tree gain a little extra vigour. The flowers are a little sporadic but will add a nice splash of colour as I wait for the real Autumn colour to hit the benches.

Dwarf Astilbe

I just love this tiny flower on my dwarf astilbe. I have always loved the big ones but I feel a few more joining the collection next year.

One Flower Will Have To Do

Looks like it could only manage one flower in this little pot.

Dwarf Allium

This dwarf alliuim was gifted to me this year. Not in an accent pot for now as I’m growing it on with the intention of splitting it. It’s just come into flower which are very nice indeed.

Tiny Accent

Not the smallest I’ve seen, but the smallest I have, this little Rhodohypoxis is just about to pop it’s first flower. I love the pot colour with that rare Irish blue sky!

Shine!

In one of those brief moments of sunshine a few of my own flowers came out in style.

Sunshine!!

Today was our British Summer 🙂 It’s now just 24 hours long!!

Michael invited me over to his place for a look around his trees and to give a little advice. This ended up being 5 hours of me working on his trees while he sat drinking Rum & Coke! [Well, just coke]

I love Michael’s garden he’s some fantastic plants hidden in his borders and I took a few snaps to show you, just don’t ask me what they are!

Michael’s bonsai are sited in three different areas in the garden and he’s plans to set up new benches. This is the main area that was recently redone and a few trees.
