Show Us Your Pictures 6

[AnneKipankitoo]

To continue into Spring 2022.

Unfortunately, I am not sure how many pictures I will be able to supply this year . Some builders are in building an extension for me .
I might have to live off all your lovely photos. Keep them coming!💐

Beautiful. I don’t know @BooseysMom .

He's adorable, ribbit, ribbit🐸
My cousin in North Carolina has had a pond with frogs for years...it gets quite cold there...his frogs either hibernate in the pond or nearby in a pile of leaves.
@MissConductUS your tree frogs are adorable, too...that last one looks like he's been quite helpful eradicating pesky insects

Poor squirrels thought they'd found nirvana when they saw some passionfruit on the drive...I found several fruit with the outer parts chewed away...but the seeds were still there inside....I had to laugh when I pictured those pesky squirrels chewing away with their squirrely little teeth only to find tart seeds once they got them open.

Thanks! 😊We have a new garden and the pond has only been in for a year. I'm not sure that there are enough places for froggy to hide but I hope he stays

My dahlia, it's taken ages to flower but been worth the wait!!

@Girliefriendlikespuppies
What beautiful colours

Gorgeous @Girliefriendlikespuppies .

@Girliefriendlikespuppies Amazing ..I've never seen a dahlia like it. Reminds me of raspberry ripple ice cream! 🍦

Stunning Dahlia @Girliefriendlikespuppies

Mellow late autumn blooms some phlox and a Dahlia

Well, my passionfruit crop has been harvested ...about half of it, anyway.
I have a 'courgette situation' going on here...tonnes of Pf !
Every time I go outside another 5 have fallen off the vine...they are everywhere..at least 300 so far.....my neighbour's are hiding when they see me now...they're afraid I'm going to share some more of our bountiful crop with them

Anybody need some passionfruit? I'll be glad to post them a few or 20

Please excuse my apostrophe in neighbours.

Wow @Sweetpea1532
Mine are still green -

@Robin233 It won't be long until they turn purple if they are green and are the right size ...it almost happens overnight 😃.
This year has really been great for growing pf...My Ds friend got married this weekend and prepared enough pf juice ( from his own vines) for 150 people to have signature cocktail...that's a tonne of passionfruit!...it must be true love. It takes about 20 to make enough for one cup since you remove the seeds.
Fingers crossed for yours! << supposed to be orange

Home grown.

Gorgeous @Robin233

@Robin233 your peppers look so healthy 🌶

I have ordered some bulbs for a couple of lasagnes.
I have ordered an amaryllis bulb.
Hopefully , I will have some colour. I have planted up some wallflower and cyclamen.

@AnneKipankitoo You've been busy! Looking forward to all your colours.

Well Done @AnneKipankitoo
This afternoon I planted a shed load of bulbs including 30 + Allium bulbs.
Popped in a few viola and general tidy.

Finally chopped back the plum tree now the plums are over:
Not sure how it will do next year (2/3 has not had plums for years ) so we'll see

Great photos @Robin233

I went a bit mad in the garden today and chopped back my clematis Montana to about a foot off the ground 😬 it was taking over and plants were struggling to grow under its canopy!

The garden looks naked now 😂

It will be fine !

Here are three pots of my dendrobium speciosum, AKA rock lilies in bloom. Never been better. For scale, the pots are huge and need a trolley to move them.
I've discovered that what they need is shade in summer and be put in the sun on the first day of autumn, no other care bar occasional watering needed.

@echt Those are lovely..I like their light yellow colour. Do they give off a fragrance?
