Oh, yes! Sorry.. Hope you can relax now.. Logan.. Is Barley any better? Must be something that he has eaten or he is not robust somewhere in his constitution..

That's ok I'll let you offOn his walks he's been licking the grass where the other dogs been passing by.He's more settled now thanks.

@alp, tragic indeed!!!
Hardly an expert.....I know a few cuz they are the few ones that can survive or summer. It's 42° with 16% humidity.

Vishu: would you call it dry then?.. Back home was body oil oozed out of your face and neck.. very unpleasant.

@Larisa those daffs are stunning!!!

Thank you, @Vishu1708 . I'm ready to trade it for a small piece of hot Indian sun.

OOOPs I'd better count my blessings... Indian heat and Russian cold .. just made me realise how lucky I am..

Good morning to you, Larisa.. Well, it's morning here!

Some flowers to share

Rhodo fully open - lovely blooms

Parrot tulips

Love these doubles

Some Dancing Queen, more flowers to come

Some fritillaries - all from reduced 50p whilst those planted from last year are still trying to WAKE UP, so to speak.

Cooling ends here. Now I'll take the plants back to the balcony again. The husband fixes on the wall a new flower box for me. This means that I will get more space for the flowers and start cutting impatiens and begonias.
Dancing Queen looks so beautiful!
I grew up a few years. In order to bulb was more, after flowering I planted it in the garden. Then came some nasty rodent and ate it.

I also love rhododendron! In addition, they grow well in my garden.

 

[alp]

Oh, dear! I can't believe that you can grow amaryllis in the garden.. Just show how much I know.. I actually took a photo showing my missing tulips.. but then decided against it.

Thank you for the nice comments, Larisa. Next time, just click the like and save me cringing... LOL!

I have the feeling that it was the squirrels who had my bulbs for dessert after burying their peanuts everywhere.

 

[Logan]

This is one of our plum trees, called Czar.

Logan: You and your OH must have green fingers.. so many blooms on yours and here I am in Essex and my tree is like bald ..

My plum tree is a yellow flesh juicy and sweet one, but it is temperamental. Two years without fruits and suddenly, covered with them..

Nearly planted all my dahlias out. Some hopelessly covered with aphids.. I decided to free range them as I have found out a pot with something totally dead in it.. Been planting out sugar snaps too.

That plum tree is a good fruiter, got a Victoria for the first time it has blossomed well. It's had a couple of years with only a few branches of fruit. The aphids should go now you've got them out.

I tell you - my whole garden is full of dahlias, hellebores, tulips and daff .. and already I am crying for water. @Vishu1708 is fantastic being able to manage with such great heat and so little rain. I have emptied a tiny butt and a bucket already .. Everything looks dry .. I have switched off my vitopod .. no point.
