great pics.. love the birdie outside samwiseg my geranium is in a pot, on its own - outside. it gets the sun, when there is some, from about 1pm ish.. it has flowered again yesterday, and I added some miracle grow when I did water. the plants I bought, I chose ones that were not fully flowered, assuming they would. My fuschia (1 of them) I bought flowering, the other is just about to flower.

I have a moisture/soil thermometer thingy.. It is showing the soil a bit wet still, given how much rain we had the other day. there are other buds, but not opening.. weather due to improve in the next few days, so hopefully that will help

I don't have a garden to share, but I love this rose in my son's garden (I actually got to see my grandsons yesterday) I think it's called a strawberries & cream rose, but to a history nerd like me it looks more like a Tudor rose. It should smell wonderful, but it sadly has very lttle scent.

Love that rose blue48 thats lovely! ffiscool apparently geraniums tend to prefer sun in the morning and not to be too dry as they can get what is known as "heat check". So just make sure they dont dry out when you have really hot days Am glad you all like our garden and you didn't mind me go mad with the pictures

I think they are osteospermums ffiscool. I call them 'sun daisies' (easier to say), they open when the sun is out and close when it isn't, if yours do that, that's what they are. They are very resilient to any weather, dry or wet, and spread like mad! Easy to take cuttings too, so a really good choice. Your little bit of garden looks beautiful ffiscool, love the way you have put some thought into it with the stones and stuff.

Aw thanks. Yes they are those. The mauve had some bent flowers which I didn’t notice til I got home and after took the pic. Oh I didn’t know they did that. Thank you. There’s another there that I bought a while back of different type in a trough that I realise has no buds and is just leaves, so may replace it but for now it’s fine.
I have Deschampsia and something else on the other side. It’s been very enjoyable whilst at home 😊
