I'm looking for some flowery things to fill some midsummer gaps in the border.
I have fuchsias, verbena bonariensis, marigolds, roses already in flower but have blank spaces. On their way are helianthemums and gazanias.

Anything looking particularly marvellous in yours this week?
We're in the west.

My oleander is very nearly in flower and interesting self-seeded nasturtiums are popping up all over the place. Rose Darcey Bussell is looking fabulous but Heathcliff is a huge disappointment.

I'm in mid-winter Melbourne, so not entirely helpful, but:
rosemary in flower
bougainvillea*
fuchsia
crucifix orchids*
slipper orchids
hardenbergia
abutilon*
grevillea Ned Kelly*
nasturtiums just about to flower
jade plant
banksia integrifoila ( tree)

Everything with an asterisk flowers all year round.

First year of newly planted bed. Used to be Leyllandi and weeds.

Jealous of those purple poppies. I love poppies and thought I'd get more of a mix this year, but they were mostly red.
My dahlias have avoided the snails this year!

Stunning poppies!

I really really want a Mrs Bradshaw. I am not allowed to buy any more plants though. Not fair!

The poppy field...so far they seem to be the same purple ones

My garden is looking a bit dull apart from my poppies. Some are self seeded/seeded by me...but I had four tons of soil delivered before Christmas to fill in where we had trees taken out and it's turned into a poppy field.

Rose Munstead Wood - new last year and gorgeous. Also rose Graham Thomas.
Some of the clematis, geraniums, saxifrage, centranthus, solanum, iris sibirica, nectaroscordum, sambucus, weigela, flax, alliums, hesperis, perennial stocks.

I have a large Dianthus which is covered in buds each year, but only one or two of them open, the rest stay shut & go brown. Water stress at a crucial moment I guess. This is its last chance or out it comes.
