Some heatwave survivors

13 comments


Interesting to see which plants survive the extreme heat, and which can’t be bothered!
I’m delighted with these Verbena Endurance Blush …

…and Verbena Burgundy

Hydrangea petiolaris

Our beloved Copper Beech (dwarf)

Melica with Geranium Ann Folkard


Bonsai copper beech


Geranium Bill Wallis


I hope you are pleased with your survivors too, although they do need quite a bit to drink!

Oh dear, that’s sad Julia. We were hoping for rain but it bypassed us by a few miles … heard the thunder though.

I love your verbena Sheila, its been very hot here also and a very bad storm last night, but my plants seem to be ok, I think I have just been lucky.

Thanks Sheila, I was trying to identify a little purple geranium I had neglected and low and behold your picture came up and presto! It’s Bill Wallis! Thanks.
