Here we are again my lovelies and on time. Not a lot to see this month so it will be a shorter tour than normal but we do have some flower in the garden and we also have this lovely pale pink hippeastrum from indoors. It's Orange !!!
Pansies are planted but not doing much yet
Cyclamen are always a joy this time of year and I just love their marbled leaf
Our Regal Pelargonium has refused to flower all Summer but is having a go now in November !
We have already had a couple of night time minus temperatures and the Salvias are not happy but we still have some flower.
Well me dears that's it for the garden highlights. Tiz time to jump up into the fleet of Land Rovers and tour the estate.
and for this month only an unusual view of the back passage; from the Drawing Room window
As you know we hate being surrounded by the evil weed trees that have turned our south facing garden into a shady woodland garden. That said, we love ferns and ferns love our garden and seed themselves everywhere.
This is last years babies all potted up and below are the newbies still in the pots they sowed themselves in.
Donny loves the ferns
He also wants to remind you of the up and coming Delargo Towers Fuchsia Fest. There are a lot of them still flowering well even now - this is Millennium.
Well there tiz me darlins, short and sweet just like me. Hope you enjoyed the tour and the VIP refreshment tent; but till next time -
it's Ttfn from Donny
and
It's Ttfn from me
Toodle-loo
Fab that you managed to get some "lovelies" out of the ever-declining November display. Ferns are indeed the future, it seems... Jx
ReplyDeletePS Orange or not, all hippeastrums (hippeastra?) are a joy in the dark days of winter!
I am not sure of what the plural of hippeastrum is either but what ever it is and whatever the size or colour they are they are unbounded joy.
DeleteYour "pink" hippeastrum is gorgeous! I must bring mine in. When I find it, that is...
ReplyDeleteI love the ferns - big and small - and "Millenium" is lovely.
P.S. The landrover took me ALL THE WAY AROUND your extensive estate which took ages, and by the time I was dropped off at the VIP refreshment tent, someone *coughdonnycough* had polished off nearly all the bubbly! Still, it was nice to warm up in your Drawing Room. Nice view, by the way.
I would have liked a nice pale pink but Orange is fab.
DeleteSorry about your roundabout route to the refreshment tent. The garden boys are just so keen to show our guests all of the delights no matter how remote they may be.
As for Donny quaffing / Scoffing all of the 'Bolly' darling I am sad to say that you were not the only person to be bereft of champagne. Action will be taken.
Ihr Engländer habt die Gabe des grünnen Daumens,
ReplyDeletedu hast einen wunderschönen Garten :)
(vvs)
Wie nett, meine Liebe Danke
