Plenty Of Flowers In The Garden..

My Garden comes alive in the cooler months the flowers certainly brighten the place up..

One of my double Poinsettia shrubs its over 2 mts tall now.



My Neighbours BOP it was kind of sticking through the fence its mine now, Noela dont mind at all..



The Cream Poinsettia is colouring up better now:



These Impatiens are a bit dark they were growing under my potting bench:



Azalea:



Nasturiun:



Ruttaya fruticosa:

All pretty ones.

My orange BOP doesn't have a flower atm but my BOP tree has one just opening... I will have to remember to get a pic when it does. I do prefer the orange flower though. I used to have a lot of impatiens but haven't anymore lost them all on the dry weather. Plenty of nasturtiums though, actually becoming a bit of a weed by spreading further than they should. I'm surprised how far the seeds can spread to. They are nice and bright though and do a good job of brightening up the place. Those Ruttya seedlings are doing well... must remember to pot them up soon.

Yes there are so many things flowering as present all the bright thing.. Next doors BOP has about five flowers on it, its a huge plant in a pot leaning up against the side fence I know the roots are under the weed mat in the Mexican garden I have I nearly bought one of those bigger BOP they had them at Aldi a few weeks back thinking of the future I changed my mind as I need more room for that one..

Impatiens I bought a punnet 8 years ago put then into hanging baskets at the front of the Verandah took them down because of the drought, and those seeds have dropped under the house under the steps they are not invasive here but I love the way all the different flowers come up around the garden all the time, when there are too many I rip them out..

I also have heaps of nasturtiums not weedy here yet and its good to hear that your Ruttya seedlings are coming along fine..

Hey the last plant we very cool MA a newbie to me

I didn't find the newer impatiens weedy though did have a few come up - which I didn't mind - but the older straggly types used to come up everywhere. I will have to get some more one day... just have to find somewhere to plant them that will get regular watering

I wish mine would keep coming back, I love the older ones and the bright colours, gets a bit too cold here in Winter

Thats a tropical shrub Cheryl, not very high about a metre I will keep a look out for some seeds if you want to try growing it..

I love that they pop up all the time a bit of a nuisance in the pots of dwarf bougs though I had to pull them out with the kitchen thongs, I have no idea how they got there seeing those pots are sitting at the bottom of the back steps and the hanging baskets were out the front

The best one yet was one growing in the middle of a birds nest fern..

I never water my impatiens even in the dry winter it must be our heavy dew that keep them alive

can always try MA for the cost of a stamp

I've got plenty of seedlings from those seeds you sent me Mary-Anne. I'll send a few down with some other plants I'm putting aside for Cheryl

YaY thanks Gail flower reminds me of the Stuart Desert Pea

I hope you don't mind Mary-Anne. I have quite a few of them so plenty to share.

The double Poinsettia is superb, Mary-Anne. Would you believe, I have never seen one growing .

Cheryl that's what my neighbour told me they were when she gave the shrub to me I knew it wasn't Gal found the ID for me

Thats fine Gail, Gee I know what its like to have too many plants..I end up binning them..

Its a beautiful flower Betty and it will lose its leaves soon and then there will only be the flowers hanging on long stems I only pruned it twice this summer I should have done it more with all that rain we had, I cut it down to around one metre after is flowers.. I have a tall single red also that's will be a sight to see when it goes red

Stayed tuned then there is the small cream and the small pink so much colour for winter

Very pretty plants

Thanks so much Marlene..
