What's looking good in your garden at the moment?

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 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.

Stunning poppies!

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

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!

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.

MaudAndOtherPoems · 05/07/2017 00:24

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.
