Can we have a thread of pictures?

[AlwaysOnAbloodyDiet]

Of our gardens, plants and flowers?

Here are some of my current blooms from around my garden; Cistus, Hydrangea and Mallows, all pink

(I think mumsnet only allow 3 uploads)?

A beauty!

Any advice is very much welcomed and appreciated
And it is safe to assume that I know very little and am guilty of planting things because they're pretty
Learning all the time

Bud, we're all learning all the time! The one thing I realised from the horticulture training was how very very much there was to learn, and much more that science doesn't know either! You just learn as you go along.

I am also guilty of buying plants because they're pretty, and also of planting them too close together because I can't believe they'll grow as big as the description says they will plus other things that I should know better about but don't - the shame!

Love the roses! Yes my plants are squashed together too
Here's some aster konch

@TheNoodlesIncident I've just remembered that my roses that you described as healthy are 'carpet roses' and disease resistant - that was one of the reasons why I planted them
Although I have some in white too and I have noticed some minor little black spots on them

@hoochymamgu The Aster is so pretty!

Finally an excuse to use the face


Any excuse @AlwaysOnAbloodyDiet

Fothergilla started to change colour.

Beautiful colours @FranneKipankinstein And another plant that I'm not familiar with, so look forward to googling! 🍂

Fothergilla has nice flowers too Always. Try googling Euonymus alatus, winged spindle, for a hint of autumn colour . I'm thinking of buying one of these, just need to find somewhere for it to go...

I love that aster, hooch, is it generally free from mildew? Been avoiding them because of that but I really like them and I'm sure I can squeeze one or three in somewhere

There is a photo of mine from Saturday 1610 @TheNoodlesIncident !

Yes @FranneKipankinstein I think that's what she meant; that the picture you posted has nice flowers (in spring)?
I'm going to sit down tonight and read about a

...read about them all, in greater detail

Potentilla is good for a long flowering period.

Garden today

So beautiful @FranneKipankinstein
What a glorious autumn day!
Is that a beech hedge? I would love that in our garden.
And you still have red berries

Your weather is looking beautiful and lovely autumnal hues there @FranneKipankinstein x

It is a beech hedge Always .
It is lovely here just now ( but cold ).

I love it when the leaves change colour daisy.

Hedge

It's gorgeous. And that's exactly why I'd love to have beech - to see the colours change.
Kudos to the person who trimmed it, it's very straight

Husband!

Gosh I missed that in your photo Is it a quick grower @FranneKipankinstein? Looks great there, you've got a good eye for planting!

i've recently bought Potentilla Klondyke too, to replace an unfortunate one that had been so overgrown by other vigorous plants that it just kinda gave up, poor thing. The original one wasn't Klondyke, but the flowers are a lovely rich gold so it will uplift that bit of border and echo the yellow of the climbing rose above it. (This makes me sound more organised than I am...)

Here's a photo of Scentsational, which looks pretty but wasn't as strongly scented as I'd been led to believe. Still nice though!

It might have been there 20 years now. It did not do the spectacular colour change to start. It took many years @TheNoodlesIncident .
