Seeds!!! A keen eye will spot Pellie beaks forming now.. if you’re not too quick to deadhead. The seeds will slowly, frustratingly so sometimes, form and ping out on their fluffy tails. These are just pods, the seeds are nestled inside, waiting.

Whilst not in the best of condition I am so happy that both Hibiscus Karmen Keene & Fifth Dimension survived last winter in a not very warm greenhouse. 😊

A dash into the stock house today & I’m stopped in my tracks by this glorious beast. Species Pelargonium magentium. The foliage ain’t all that, as with many species Pellies the heat can cause them to look a bit rough as they go dormant for the hot months but, Wow! Those flowers!!

After the rain…. A snap of tulip flowered Pelargonium ‘Emma Fran Bengtsbo’ sharing her pot with ‘Lara Starshine’ taken just now in the early morning sun.

You might think I’m all about Pellies… you’d be wrong. I love these guys too. Hibiscus rosa-sinensis ‘Mrs Andreasson’ sometimes gives me pom-poms of peach and pink but this one is a semi-double and I Love It! ❤️

After yesterday’s extremes of heat, thunder, lightning and a delightful deluge (no watering needed today!), here’s ‘April Snow’. A Rosebud Pelargonium.. possibly one of my favourites 😉

This morning, I have mostly been building a log store. Seeing as I’ve tidied up a new spot I feel inclined to fill it with pots of plants! Hamish is checking out quality control of sticks.

I was asked at a lecture last week why it was that the Brits only bought Zonal Pelargoniums (Geraniums to some..🙄) I’d love to know your thoughts..
