John’s Cellpic Sunday

I don’t use my phone camera much at all and need to use it to get better. I decided to go into the garden and take a few flower photos. There are small patches of colour everywhere at the moment.

Here is a sample of the flowers in my garden. I didn’t do a Marigold seed raising this year. Thankfully the flowers from last year did a good job in the garden bed. Only the yellow ones though.

I planted an Allamanda vine near the shed so long ago I cannot remember when. It hasn’t flowered well but this year it bucked the trend and sent out about three flowers.

The first flower on this Hibiscus grown from a cutting. I have another one that is rather stunted as Possums go to it every year and eat it but didn’t munch this one?

I bought some plants at a local nursery where I go most of the time for plants as they have a great range of Australian native plants. I saw a six pot tray of Cosmos that looked very sad. I thought they needed a home even though they were not in the plan. It pays to be a regular customer as she gave me the Cosmos plants. Some died but most survived.

This has been the best year for Cats Whiskers, one of my favourite garden flowers.

No Buttercups but lets sing about them anyway

Addendum – I found a pack of Marigold seed and planted then in a seed tray. marigolds for everyone in a week or so
