@alp plants are 3rd mimulus ringens And 4th strachys pulustris

Love the details of the petals of the mimulus and I would mistake Strachys as orchid!

Such a lot of details in the flowers. Thank you for sharing. You must be enjoying this lovely weather in the NE!

Salvia Salmon Dance

Love this chocolate Rudbeckia

And it turns out it is shorter than the hibiscus and the echinacea purpurea in front of it. Embarrassing - label and planting are my downfalls, among many others!

Evening all not much going on in the garden at the moment but for a very unexpected surprise I got some flowers on my Wisteria .

Supposed to get even hot for you next week alp, sure it said upto 33'C and 18'C at night

Even now, my kitchen thermometer registers 23.8c!

Went out earlier and saw my bamboo not doing well. I forgot that I had Fargesia Scabrida Asia Wonder. It has the most beautiful of stems. I saw Homebase was getting rid of Nigra for £20. But I have already bought some dismal ones last year with 2 stems out of 10 which are properly black. I can't wait to look around on weekends. Wish I hadn't booked the holiday - such a long way to drive and deprived me of 2 days of serious shopping.

Talking about Wisteria, I so want a different colour one - probably a pink or white. Everywhere you see, you have nothing but blue. I saw something blue on my wisteria as well, not sure if they were buds.

Glad that you're enjoying yourself. I think you're going to have some serious rain today. We are all clouded over. Thank heavens as it is a nice change for the unforgiving sun. If it doesn't rain tomorrow morning, I will be raining!

I hope that you get some.

Same here! And my garden is about 125 feet long and all along there are flowers. Mad somewhat I am! Rain dance needs participants!

Now spill the beans. What freebies have you got please? Same here, not so oppressive. Ooops! I'd better be careful. 30 to 33 on the card! My heart is crying like a baby. I had to refrain myself from going out to the garden or I will pick up the hose!
