Looking back at photos taken last May, there were quite a few flowers out, including poppies. Not this year though. The salsify is flowering, as reported in our previous post:
The WINTER flowering pansies in hanging baskets are in their prime, normally we’d be thinking about turfing them out and re-planting with summer annuals! Our new perennials bed is so flower-free we’ve put out an overwintering geranium, just to add a splash of colour (top right of picture).
At least the clematis Montana Rubens has come up with the goods:
This is only its second year since it was taken as a cutting so it’s doing well. We’ve a couple of cuttings taken from this plant – just babies in a flower pot – so there’s promise for more flowers next year…
