The Delargo Gardens - December

 

Here we are me lovelies. It is bleak Mid Winter and I must admit there is not a lot to see in the garden.

We still have some colour but with overnight temperatures down to -5'c earlier in the month we have less colour this year than last.

 The Cobaea is struggling along. I thought this would be it's last flower but it has several new buds.

 The plucky little Pelargoniums are still jolly.

Only one of the three Cyclamen has flowered so far but we hope the other two will catch up.

 I have been amazed with the next plant. It has flowered non stop since late Spring and still is refusing to stop. Nicotiana Affinis is well worth growing just for the scent alone but it is also such a good doer.

 The salvias may not be at their best but they are still flowering.

There we are are then me dears and it's time to climb aboard the Sky Lark for the last tour of our extensive grounds for this year.




Roll on Spring.

The primulas will cheer us up till then but our violas have for the most part have given up the ghost and have shrivelled but the Snow Drops are already pushing up their leaves and readying themselves to announce the end of Winter and the approach of Spring.

I shall leave you with a Fuchsia, ('Holly's Beauty') as a taster for the up and coming 'Annual Delargo Towers Fuchsia Fest.' The workman are already busying themselves erecting the marquee and VIP Hospitality Tent.


 There tiz then me dears that's it for 2021, We wish you a fabulous 2022

Roll on Spring.
