My sixes this week. I'd call it today - 'what's in flower today in the garden'. Acutally more than six are in bloom now, but I chose these.
1. Pelargonium 'Chocolate', I bought it as an annual in garden centre (sigh) but I am going to save it to be a permanent resident, maybe make cuttings in autumn. Cause everything about it is lovely - bright peachy red colour, the form of flowers, the leaves.
2. Campanula portenschlagiana. It grew up a bit now from a small plant I bought couple years ago.
3. Digitalis, it sows itself everywhere and I am just moving the seedlings into any free place then available. But I need to find a right permanent place for her, so maybe she'd start growing there instead of everywhere.
4. Hesperis matronalis. Again, sows itself, it is short lived perennial. Lovely scent.
5. Libertia grandiflora. Grows well but someone is eating its flower stems... I suspect snails, cause there are lot of them in this corner.
6. And, three alliums in one photo! That's about all of my alliums actually, I'm not good at them apparently, I had quite a few, but now only one-two of each. A. cristophii, Purple Sensation and - OK, not really an allium - a nectaroscordum. I am thinking to collect seeds from these three and will try to multiply them to be in big numbers again.
I have a lot of plans for this weekend, I need to plant out cerinthe, do some weeding, take out tulip bulbs from a raised bed, and sort them, mm, yummy.
