We are forecast to reach 29c here on Wednesday Jamus so I'll be taking the day off and seeking the shade ....
...Typically the weather starts to improve after our visitors ,(daughter and her partner), returned to the UK yesterday......
Flowering in the sand crevice bed is a dwarf form of Gentiana septemfida .
On the edge of the sand bed a Campanula ,(name unknown--any idea Lesley ?),that has filled it's small concrete trough and is seeking new pastures .I'll have to careful it doesn't escape as it will be too exuberant in its growth for the cushions /mats nearby like Saxifragas and Raoulias .
In the process of moving a good sized clump of Roscoea auriculata last season I took a small growth and planted it elsewhere .Unfortunately I forgot where I placed the smaller plant and It's come up between some stepping stones of a path I constructed in winter ...... Duh !
.
The almost orchid like flowers of Tricyrtis have such yummy fascinating patterns .Here's the first flowering of T. latifolia raised from seed ....
Cheers Dave.
