Summer containers

Nice containers B thanks for sharing your flora.

pots do give emense pleaseure dont they. you have some lovely combinations there.

Lovely Barbara. I see, like me, you're fond of Nemesia and Verbena . . . they go on and on, don't they!

They are lovely Spritz, and so much further on than mine. I have Schizanthus but nowhere near flowering yet.

Oh they are spectacular !

How lovely Spritz, the colour schemes are really effective
Pansies and violas have lasted so well this year, thanks for the tour....never boring. :0)

They are all lovely! I especially like the frilled pansies which are spectacular, I must get some of those. The first picture is also a favourite with the pretty pink daisy-like flowers, are they a brachycome?

That was anything but boring, Spritz. Your pots are fabulous. I especially like the 2nd, 3rd and last photos but the schizanthus is great too.

I think you saved the best till last...but they are all lovely! Haven't those frilly pansies been wonderful? :)

Lovely pots, love the frilly pansies!

Thanks for looking! Yes, I believe they are Brachycome.

I grow Schizanthus from seed, but those two plants were bought ones. They have much larger flowers than the ones I've grown. I didn't recognise them as Schizanthus in the GC!

The frilly pansies have been amazing - well worth buying. Other pansies have fizzled out, but they've carried on blooming.

Spritzs its hats off to you, your pots and garden are just amazingly beautiful especially after what you have had to cope with.

Thank you - I wish you could come today; it's the last of our open days.

You are an inspiration. Just seeing all your pics is wonderful. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you, Sprog. That's very kind! :-)

Wonderful:)

Thank you. :-))

stunning colours I love the bright pink ones, will definitely be copying some of these!! x

You're more than welcome, Heidi. That's the really good thing about GoY - we get ideas from each other. :-))

How did I miss this blog? a wonderful selection of pots and some really lovely plant combos....

Thank you, Dd. You've changed - I hardly recognised you this morning!

I have havn't I? a metal sculpture from an NGS open garden in the New Forest....blog to be composed!!

Oh, is that what it is! :-D)

Trying desperately to catch up on blogs etc, love you containers, very artistic:-) I spend over an hour watering each day and sometimes 2 hours. Only have 3 hanging baskets though. The ground has been dry too so having to do that in different sections each day. Who'd have thought we'd be watering the beds???!!!!:-)

I have the hose on all day, and my watering regime is a bit like yours! At least the stream is being a great help rather than a nuisance in this weather. It's running very low now. We have a pump in the deep bit, which waters the garden. I have to move the hose round, of course.

Your container combinations rock! I don't say that often either ;)

Thank you, Kimberly. :-))
