As most of you know, I have planted the flower garden in such a way that there will be something blooming from february through october/ november. At the moment I have these in bloom: This Passion Flower belongs to the neighbour lady across the path. She is on hols for three weeks and we are caring for her garden in her absence: The Margriet: The Silene chalcedonica: The Veronica: The Buddleja, earning it’s name with an Aurelia on it: Runner beans in bloom: The Phlox paniculatta: At the garden’s entrance arch— the Geranium ‘Splish Splash’:
These are lovely Sjoerd. I enjoyed being able to recognize a few. That passion flower is very exotic looking. Does it last very long?
Very impressive parade of flowers. Lovely time of year to appreciate all the hard work and so much to share. You have a lot on your hands to manage with harvesting, flowers to vase, and I can see how much you love doing it all. The end rewards are refreshing and pleasing. You give Happy Gardening a whole new meaning… And among all your chores and responsibilities the lovely passion flower your tending others friends gardens too. You’re a good friend.
Thank you Pac, for your nice words. It is always good to hear a friendly word. Mel— those blooms last a pretty good while I think. I do not exactly how long their flowers stay open. They can bloom on into the beginning of winter.
They are all so beautiful but the passion flower is the most interesting. Thanks Sjoerd for highlighting their beauty.
Sean— they are indeed lovely, and there are some 500 varieties over the world. I know that you can buy this one and perhaps a few other ones where you live. Hiya Cayu— i lurve phlox. I line this variety because of the heaped-up tuft nature of the blooms (hence its name). I normally do the Chelsea chop, but not this year as it was too hot and dry. During the Flower Show the plants were only knee-high to a grasshopper. Maybe next year. Thanks KK— They are interesting and intricate. I think this climbing plant also exists in SE Asia. Mate, I could sit and look at this bloom for hours. You are welcome.
