Unlike the U.K.!

I thank you for this photo then, minus the trucks!

There is a red one named Dr. King, perhaps it was that variety.

:o))

Thanks Shirley, taken by OH who is much better than me at photography 🙂.

Very pretty one Daylily.

I love lilacs (so do my deer) and their smell.... just bought one few days ago to put and keep on the deck :-)

I love Cistus plants but they do not like me. I bought at least dozen of them and none of them survived.
Love the colour of this one Karen.

Thank you Julia and Rose for your lovely comments. They warmed up my heart.

I got the bulbs several years ago from someone in Greece. Try this site: https://www.plantsofdistinction.co.uk/flowers-a-z/flowers-a-z/ixia-viridiflora-jade-green-1741e
It will take about 3 years from seed.

Wow, they're really stunning Karen!

I'm not usually a lilac fan, but this is lovely with smaller blooms and so many of them!

Pretty one Jane..

This is a beautiful flower, Kate! I like it very much! :)

Some years ago a friend gave me a couple of them but unfortunately they didn't return the following year. :(

They look very nice. I too like the pot.

Beautiful Camellia, Shirley!

My wife bought me a red one, many years ago, I don't remember its name exactly but it had 'King' as part of its name. Unfortunately it didn't last more than year or so. :(

This is a beautiful flower, Wylie! I'd love to grow it on the balcony! Did you buy the corms from the Pacific Bulb Company?

I also searched for it & it seems it can grow VERY HIGH so I hope you have enough room for it!

Lovely plant. Nice to see a C doing so well in a pot.

What are we looking at here, lindak? Young frogs???

For the first time ever I've used Google Search to look for your beautiful flowers, Lindak. Surprisingly it found it in a couple of seconds! After looking at various pictures I decided it was your bulb! I then opened a webpage that gives more explanation on the bulb. Here is the link:

Thanks! There’s another larger tree to the right. Trucks were parked below it, so I didn’t take any pics of it.

Yes, you’re correct. These plants are pretty tropical. 😀

Yes,it was a stroll with a few breaks to rest!

Thank you bothx

It’s a beauty. Sadly the rain has now taken its toll, but these are lovely and I’ll be planting them in the ground for next year.

Isn’t it? X

Well done, it all looks lovely.

Julia, this looks a lovely place for a stroll round, thanks for sharing it.

Love all the blossom this Spring.

Sue, I'm on 'catch-up' yet again and am very sad to hear you're having so much pain. Let's hope the stronger meds. will reduce it for you.

I love your Photinia's shape and may try to get the same effect, little by little though as I really have to slow down on the gardening, much to my regret!

This morning Michael cut the grass but that's tired him out as he's still got the cough and cold bug, silly so-and-so should have left it. I edged it with my long-handled edging shears and that's about it for me today. So frustrating to have to stop.

You take care and enjoy your garden, either out there or from the comfort of your sitting room!

Such an amazing colour.

I used to love the blogs and photos Lulu posted.

Lovely photo!

I think they would all have to survive as indoor houseplants in England!

That's a fabulous specimen!

That's true ... :o)

Yes, it's surprising how the weather changes so much in the different parts of our little island!

Thank you Rose.

Thanks Linda. I shall keep an eye out. I’m very handy with a soapy spray. :)

You have a fantastic collection Klahanie! I wouldn't like to say which is my favourite as I love them all!

Me neither! It's lovely.

I like the wall basket Karen.

They look good and I love the pot Julia.

Yours are much further on than mine Shirley. Must because I am on the east coast.

I love violas Shirley and they flower for so long.

Never seen anything like that before.

Lovely to see the apple blossom. We lost two of our trees to woolly aphids. Gerry tried his hardest to combat it, but in the end we had the trees dug out. We still have a small espalier but even that has the aphid.

Thanks Eileen...I wasn't sure how the matt black would look..
On the wooden bench a pidgeon has kindly relieved itself..must have been there a couple of days...I found wD 40 loosened it!!

Wow I don't know where to start..what a beautiful collection of shrubs Klahanie...your garden is very special. I have picked the Almond tree blossom as my favourite!

Ah,thank you both ..I'll keep an eye to see if any more appear.
