Following @Upsy Daisy 's milk bottle method, I have propagated 3 osteospermum 3D ie. double flowers as seen in my morning post. I then use the same vacated milk bottle and put in some violet osteospermum. Hopefully, I will have more next year. Also, separated some heucheras from the front. Hopefully, I will have 3 more next year. Separated more irises ..

Morning all.

Good morning to all. Woke up nearly 5am. Didn't want to get up as I was nursing a cold. The culprit was either my son or the surgery.. I am now prescribed another tablets, but I am very sceptical about the side effects, something called Pregabalin ?? I haven't taken one.. Must exercise rather than taking all these malarky ..

I still have some very nice flowers in the garden

A lone hypericum. Only one as I trimmed most of the branches to let in light and rainwater.

Art Nouveau, I like

I still have quite a few but this wonky one is the best. After all, la force majeure, can't expect them to be 100% perfect, but still, I have had a very good show.

Now these are pompons - favorite of the year!

This one is NOT a pompon, but a very small and compact dahlia, but it is equally lovely

Love the little details on the edge of the petals.

A speckled beauty from B&Q

An orange cacti dahlia

My naughty hellebores

One with a pink back

A single white speckled beauty

a most perfect dahlia from yesterday

My groundhog day, repeated from yesterday posting.

Sorry about your cold, have you got any lemons? And your knees, @alp I'd take them, but just be aware of anything that happens. It might not be the tablets.If we worry about side effects we wouldn't take anything. But still do the exercises.
Lovely pics, i've got a hellebore that's flowering.

Morning!
What beautiful pics @alp....your garden is very colourful indeed. Ours is quickly getting into its winter coat now I'm afraid.....with just a hint here and there of reminders of what we did have.....but fading fast!!

Grey and dreary looking start to the weekend down here .

Oh well if the rain keeps up then I will snuggle down with all my unread gardening mags

Super weekend wishes to everyone

 

[alp]

down with all my unread gardening mags

Crikey! Have you got a lot? I have only got the ones from RHS as we are members. Not much use the magazines as they are full of adverts, but the occasional highlight on one plant is interesting..

 

[Upsy Daisy]

yes I had a bit of a backlog.......My Dad passes on his subscribed GW.....I have an online one regularly and I also subscribe to a weekly one too........so it's catch up time I think

 

[Upsy Daisy]

That's one of the many drugs my brother has to take @alp

Hope your cold soon clears up and that your painful joints ease a bit for you

 

[alp]

Wish I could have your code. Hehe! Now there is no more gardening programmes on the TV, I sometimes read something in newspapers. Guess what I have found

When has this man become a plant? The narcissism of it ..

I want to cry for him.. So much pain and pain is killing the quality of life. I wriggled my feet in clockwise and anti-close direction and pressed my toes forward and backward for half an hour and I can see the improvement this morning..

Morning to all @alp lovely blooms The dehumidifiers and fans went yesterday the silence was wonderful could even watch the tele without the subtitles being on.Have ordered some Nomocharis seeds waiting of them to come will see how I get on, getting the plants or bulbs seems difficult at the moment all seem out of stock maybe time of year.Have a great weekend everybody.

Whoa! No more dehumidifier and fans .. Great to have a quiet house. I used to sleep with the ebac on the whole night and the sleep was fitful .. Could you let me know where you ordered them, perhaps in a conversation? I will have a go. I used to buy cheap bulbs in Home Bargains, but was sooooo pleased to see some yellow tulips with frilly edges. Shame there was only one bag left and one colour .. I like it so much. I have planted them with my intersectional peony .. bloodletting price.. But I have chopped the bloodletting clump into two.. I so want to steal from my neighbour's interesctional peony - a huge pink one. I mean ENORMOUS! Having cut a clump which was hard as a diamond but meant more than a diamond to me, I know that I will be arrested when I start cutting.. LOL!
