Here we are again me dears, late as usual. Lets not waste anymore time and move on and see what July had to offer us in the garden
The red Border is looking like a Kylie video; Padam, Padam.
Last years lily “On Stage” gave us one flower.
But last years “Muscadet” has done us proud and smells divine.
as does the new this year; Longiflorum hybrid "Eastern Moon".
We bought two baby Clematis this one is “Rouge Cardinal”
not the best photo - Lilium speciosum var. rubrum
The phlox have not had there best year and might need dividing and re-potting next year. Phlox paniculata, pink
Phlox paniculata “Blue Paradise”
and a fabulous new addition to the collection; Phlox paniculata “Nicky”
It's still early but the Salvias are not at their best yet. This one is new and I love it; Salvia “African Skies” [poss. hybrid of S. chamelaeagnea with S. scabra]
Salvia 'Amistad' is strutting it's stuff but a few more flower spikes would be nice. We will see what it does next month.
Brodiaea laxa “Queen Fabiola” was still looking lovely at the start of the month (sorry about me finger)
I love the delicate and fragile looking Agapanthus “Stockholm”.
We don't get enough sun to grow Dahlias but we try any way; Dahlia “Fascination”
Thumbergia orange beauty is still going and is a joy.
There tiz then me dears grab your parasols and jump up into the Land Rover for a tour of the rest of the estate
The taro is doing ok.
Well there we have me dears just time for a quick sneaky peek at this years Fuchsia fest - Millennium.
I have had no help from Donny this month he is still annoyed with me for constantly being late with my posts. He wrote me a note to say that if I did not pull my socks up he would report me to 'the Grand Council of Gnomes' and then no Gnome would be allowed to step foot in the Gardens of Delargo Towers ever again. A bit harsh if you ask me but you know what Gnomes are like.
I only knew that he was still here when he was caught on the night time security CCTV camera.
I will do my best to be on time for August and hope that Donny calms down and will be with me for the next post
Till then me lovelies
It's Ttfn from me.
Toodle-Loo
