Mombretia, bright eyes

Lovely and bright indeed! may have to find room for this one.

found it in a garden that has or had wonderful planting but seems a little tired and in need of tlc; they said it was due to floods, very cold winter and then drought!!!

Looks beautiful!

not usually my sort of colour but it makes you smile somehow

It is lovely :)

:-) thanks scottish

Quite a clump!

Not mine meanie!

yes love these

Lovely. I have a few of these mostly in front garden coz of the colour..have given clumps of it to a few neighbours and so all around we have bright ornage jsut now :)

nice to have colour when others seem to be fading; i also like the lucifer.

So easy to grow too!

the mombretia spread but i havent noticed lucifer getting any bigger which is a shame.

I lost my Lucifer and because the others don't get a lot of sun because of the trees ,they are quite insignificant.Yours is lovely Stickie.

Not mine Rose. I am sorry I forgot to explain - I found these at a garden near Tenbury Wells and put the photo on for Plantoholic.

It would go lovely with your yellow flowers Sticki! Orange and red flowers also really glow in the evening light and when the garden lights go on.

good idea tet, we have a light for the back garden now.

My Lucifer goes mad here Sticki, want some?:-)

yes please if you have any to spare.

Saw lots growing in woodland glades these last two days Sticki. They looked good and they were in shady places.

just growing wild?

No, they had been planted there.

would look lovely in woodland

AND in your shady garden! Goodness, we hare having a downpour..almost a cloudburst!

i must have sent it down to you ~ thunderstorm here ~ about an hour ago ~ so bad i pulled the aerial out.

Gee thanks! I dont think. We had a cloudburst at Ringwood this morning whilst visiting a garden. We sheltered in the conservatory but the rain was so noisy, we had to shout to make ourselves heard!!

Perhaps it was the other way round - you sent it to us?

Who caused rain to stop play on my front? Won't be back 'til Monday:-(

Monday is bank holiday! Will it rain then too?

Probably:-( Eating cake like mad...feels like autumn:-(

been out making a path in my back flower bed ~ between and in the showers
