Some more from yesterday.. Tons of dicentras and Japanese anemones

And they all have minute differences

Nice to have a park with a bit of flowers and wild fowl!

probably anemone nemorosa - spring flowering. Japanese anemones are late summer and autumn flowers.

I thought you didn't like sugar. Why don't you make your own ?

I know, but just too much hassle and ex came up for a meal, so bought one for convenience.. I have planted out some sunflowers and thankfully I have 3 and a half left out of 4.. I will plant some more later.. out of the hanging basket which is housing the birdfood.. Sunflower seeds self seeded themselves..

The last amaryllis Spartacus which look strangely similar to Minerva.. I prefer Minerva more

These are all that I have now.. I like them all, but why are they so tall ... A headache when they sway from one side to the other.. Perhaps, they should be kept in a coolish place.. Rather than straight into a warm room and the stem just goes crazy .. LOL!

They look all the same to me. Do they have enough light.?

 

[alp]

Haha! You don't like them? Got the gist... I love them as they are so perfect and symmetrical .. easy to look after as well.
