@CumberdickB Quite a few of mine in display cases...more cost but keeps them clean

Glorious but a nightmare to dust

Giving the summerhouse a good clean today, where I overwinter the Aloes...which are doing damn fine. Some turning into beasts that weigh a tonne to move.

@Hillborn13 I have tried this a couple of times and lost it both times .. I would love to know the best way to keep this in the UK

Erythrostemon (Caesalpinia) gilliesii at Kew. I keep shouting at mine to get on with it but it’s only in early bud. C’mon!!

@AlanEDown I agree, this is an excellent plant for hot, dry positions. Brittle and breaks easily, but, then, also easy from cuttings.

Epilobium canum (was Zauschneria californica) flourishing in the heat and dryness of this well drained position on top of a wall.

@aNorthernGarden Lovely... How do you keep them happy?... dry as dust down here.

Good morning gardening Tweeps. Palm trees and primulas. Who ever thought they would go together?

@ARadgick I went many years ago, a beautiful, picturesque spot, worth a visit

I visited Scotney Castle last week. I don't think I could have picked a better day for photographs

@jmadge33 Cordylines self seed around here, echiums and nerines fight amongst the normal brambles on the cliffs...as long as it doesn't carpet out all others like hotten tot fig then I do mind a bit of invasion

Laural rooted onto a log. Do you think it will be added to an #invasive watch list ? Along with rhododendron? It's such an easy rooter #RHS #Gardenersworld #Hereford #outdoorlife #invasivespecie

@Plantbaseuk Nope! It's not you

Just watching the news, is it me or is Trump and Vance complete and utter wankers.

@CumberdickB It just rained but was 12 degrees down here ... You've not had any rain? Obs not if still snow

Grim up norf

@HerveyBrookes @birstallboi I can't believe it either ... When the hell did they mess with a skipping rope? 🙄

@CumberdickB Agree! Best thing on telly at the moment. Phenomenal story writing and equally good acting.

@HerveyBrookes Agreed! Easy and beautiful

@urbanponds101 A sink near the back door ... Taken yesterday... Bloody wet weekend down here.

Any flowers to show off today?

@thatbotanicguy It's no longer just an Aloe? Course not 🙄 love this plant... Obs perfect for dry gardens

I still find it amazing that Aloiampelos striatula, formerly Aloe striatula is hardy outdoors here! We've no sunbirds to feed on their nectar but will happily make do with the raft of native pollinators that flock to feed on its exotic spires of blooms.

@Theorangefrog86 I agree. Watched it with my partner... He fell asleep and I was left stressed n having to press pause 😂

Most stressful movie in the world

@StalwartPlants I think their seedheads are even more beautiful. I too have noticed this has escaped and thriving amongst the usual weedy collection of bramble etc on an unmade road.

First time I have seen a salsify plant and flower. Grown for the root and is likened to asparagus and oysters although I have never tried one myself.

Luckily here, most winters, the Echiums make it through and seed on unmade roads where the council don't spray. Currently, literally humming with bees.

@CumberdickB I thought it was just me ...

@TheFlowerShow Forgive me, but I've seen too many AI generated and colour enhanced plant images. I would love to see more photos to see exactly how realistic this image is. Also, in bright sunlight and at the end of the day to see if the colour holds/changes.

Name had been chosen and registered. “Black Widow “ iris. Feast your eyes 🤤. It’s planed to be released in the near future, still in the testing beds for now but I have been told that he looks like a winner 🥇.
