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!💐

Yes, but not strong, you have to lean in to smell it.

I have some dendrobium kingiana about to bloom too, and will take pics as soon as. These have a stronger frabngrance.

Striking @echt.

As an aside , I used echt in a word game I do …. It worked 👍🏻

Can any one help ?
2 identical pots filled with ivy and flowers.
Flowers end with the season
Ivy in pot one goes brown and starts to die.
As ivy is indestructible I was concerned.
Threw away dead ivy from pot 1.
But added some shop brought , flowering cyclamen ti each pot.
Watered - yet the cyclamen in pot 1 drooped.
Pot 2 still perky with healthy green ivy
I have now dug up the poorly cyclamen and replanted in the garden hoping to nurse it back ti health.

It's as if pot has been poison ???
Can't see any slugs.
But what could kill ivy ?

? Cat poo?

Don’t know.

Did you change all the compost?

These are amazing - am off to google them as I've not gone across them before.

@WobblyLondoner
It is possible that it was 'different' compost.
A friend has suggested insect infestation - maybe ants ??

I was wondering about wine weevils - but that can't be it if you changed the compost.

Vine weevils!! Mind boggles at wine ones.

A bit of autumn colour! It really is that colour too, quite astonishing.

@WobblyLondoner
Beautiful- what a pick me up.
Compost not changed yet ...
Will investigate vine/ wine weevils- thanks.

@WobblyLondoner.. absolutely beautiful 😍 I love Acers. I have one in a pot which started off in the ground but didn't grow at all, so I moved it to a large pot filled with ericaceous compost and it started growing straight away. I'll post a pic when it's daylight!

Fabulous Acer WobblyLondoner almost glows!

wine weevil 🤣

I had two in pots - this one and another which I then planted out in the garden. It was very unhappy quite quickly - I think a mix of wrong soil (London clay) and too much sun. Eventually I had to dig it up.

So I'm a big fan of acers in pots - much more flexible.

We had an acer that died too

@WobblyLondonerwhat type of acer is it? It looks like a Bloodgood. I want one!

I think it is crimson queen. www.ornamental-trees.co.uk/acer-palmatum-dissectum-crimson-queen-tree-p609

Fabulous autumn colours in all those pics. It's being spring here in Melbourne, my bird's nest fern is putting out new leaves. Again, it's a whopper.

@WobblyLondoner - wow, that is stunning. What a glorious display of colour.

I have an acer in my garden (from previous owners) and it’s a manky, boring brown colour. I keep trying to kill it off, but it keeps growing back!
