Today in the garden.

Come on yellow...keep up.

This is the first brug I've planted in the ground, can't wait to see what colour the flowers are.

I thought this crocosmia was going to be the large flowered variety like it said on the box.

Mina lobata (it may be ipomoea now). I really like this annual vine.

Mina lobata flowers. They still have some growing to do.

Er, cant' remember the name of these things a neighbour gave me.

Unusual Victorian antirhinnum I bought the seeds from The Lost Gardens of Helagon last year.

The cuttings from last year's geraniums are coming along.

Must grow more holihocks in my next garden.

Beautiful walk through your gardens! Thanks for sharing! Love that hollyhock color!

And that, 'er, can't remember from the neighbor' is

At first I thought they were those 'metal' flower sculptures people do! They nearly don't look real! Pretty though!

I remember now, it's a black aeonium.

So do you have to pot these up for indoors in the winter? I read somewhere when googling them, that they are for over 41 degrees? Wouldn't last some springs/falls here with our temps.

I was given them in pots in the autumn and they stayed in them in the greenhouse until spring.

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing those! I especially like the black thing you got from the neighbor.
