And a Happy Birthday to you critter!

Dale do Coreopsis really flower at this time of year? They take a while to get going here even in summer.

Hippeastrums were a favourite of Victorians I believe, but not of those maybe who had cottage gardens in those times. As changing trends have always been a part of gardening I guess we can make up our own rules, I certainly do! If you can fit it in, and fill the garden up, and you can call your house a cottage, then it's OK!

My Adiantum peruvianum has grown a new frond inside but the air is drier with having radiators on and it's drying up, perhaps it should go in the bath room. I won't be having fires for much longer.

You can see my Coreopsis verticillata Zagreb in leaf just over the top of the Papaver Coral Reef, surrounding the short Paeonia leaves, and that was on 6th June 05.
