What's Looking Good in July 2024

[Mike]

lots of bear though

Yes, that's what I've heard. That's why I wouldn't be a huge fan of getting too far out into the wild by myself. Of course, some bear spray might come in handy too.

I used to live in the Temperate Rain Forest known as North Wales

Ok. Sorry

 

[Tetters]

What on earth are you sorry for Cindi. Your photos are amazing. That rain forest is my idea of heaven, and it reminds me of the one I was fortunate enough to visit when I went to Tasmania. We can't actually understand why you should feel sorry??
Zigs has a right weird sense of humour When he lived in Wales, he said that it was drizzling with rain almost every day. That's why he calls it a rain forest.
I'm quite hoping you have some more photos of your visit to show us..... please

 

[Zigs]

Ok. Sorry

It was always raining in Wales Your picture looks lovely @cindi

Is that a Callistemon in the first picture @DrCase ? I grow an Agastache with a mauve bottlebrush type flower, but it's not quite like that one.

I just planted that plant this spring it is some kind of bottlebrush

 

[Tetters]

I think it may be Callestemon. I'll try and find a picture.....
Yep - this one shows the leaves as well as the flowers. These abounded when I used to live in Australia I remember them being quite common to find. They are lovely

That's the same verbascum I have in my pink and white bed. The trouble at the moment is that I can hardly see them for weeds at the moment -while yours are all lovely and weed free...I have such a lot of catching up to try and get done. Ah, I have an idea. You could pop down to Kent for a week and give me a hand to get my beds as ship-shape as yours are.... Yessss!!
