acer orange dream/yellow minulus planted up

thats lovely Sandra

cheers eileen, popped a cane in because of wind, hope its ok ;o))

ah brilliant Sandra it looks really well - you do do a good acer :)

haah thanx angie ;o))

I like the idea of the yellow minulus round the bottom , it's looking great !

thanx amy i thought of different colours around it but then decided yellow would go better and lift the leaf colours out ;o)

Lovely Sandra, my acers aren't quite in leaf yet. Be careful of the wind as they can get wind burn.

It will , they will compliment each other beautifully .........

thats what worries me dawn, but i dont know what to do as i cant move the barrel its so heavy ;o( my other isnt in leaf either dawn, maybe i should make a screen with canes and fleece to protect it, what do you think
cheers amy ;o)

Your planted up tub looks nice Sandra. I have a strawberry tower which is quite heavy to move. I salvaged four castors off some old suitcases we had and made a wooden base for it to sit on. I can now move it and turn it around to catch the sun -little project for Baz to keep him out of mischief..lol :-)

I think some varieties are more susceptible than others, mine are in an open position and get a bit burnt but mine are green ones, hopefully Amy can help.

Lovely crimson shade

Looks much better in that Tub San :) the Minulus plants will set if off a treat when they flower :)

thanx richard, great idea ;o))
thanx dawn, will see if i can fine out anything ;o)
orange Rkalyan,,, crimson is more red im sure, thanx ;o)
thankyou jacque, yes minulus spreads pretty well to and lots of flowers, all being well ;o))

San they are really woodland plants, like some dappled shade, not keen on wind and scorching sun, we have ours protected by larger shrubs, hope this helps.

thanx dotty, this possition is shady till later in summer, think north facing, it has been a bit windy but not gales so hope its ok there ;o)

Looks great planted up, Sanbaz. You can buy pot 'wheels' at various places, Sanbaz, and some are quite reasonably priced :)

i saw a pot wheelie thing in a shop today but not big enough for this, so will keep looking thanx Gee

very nice sandra.......

cheers holly ;o))

Have to agree lovely :o))

will look much better once minulus is spreading and in flower ;o)

Looks great Sandra, will look even better when the flowers are all in bloom!

hope so carole ;o))

The tub looks good, love the Acer.

the tub TOG! you mean the barrel lol, thanx this was a water feature till i got my pond, love my new acer to ;o)
