He's been having a whale of a time wandering around the garden, strimming this, that and the other. He's sorted out my shed, tidied it up, fixed the bench, fixed the hosepipe, cleared the path at the bottom of the garden, cut down some small sycamore trees, tried to get my old computer to work, but it needs more than he's got - [don't be rude] - repaired an extension lead, in fact he fixed two extension leads, sorted out the leads I have, tying them up individually, fixed my walker [the one I use around the house] and just fixed the cat's toy. It's only the second day - I wonder what else he can do in the time left. LOL
As long as he's happy I don't care. I need to rest more than he does. I've just cooked some dinner - his recipe - or at least what he can remember....... and also done some shortbread. I'll be on my knees by the time he goes - not used to this amount of activity.
While he was chopping away at the sycamore bushes and tidying up the shed, I wandered around looking at the plants and hey - that weird plant has flowered and whoever told me it would produce some yellow flowers, is right .............
Looks amazing and only two of the flowers has bloomed, it should look great when they are all out. All very fuzzy too...........
A gorgeous new blue flower has bloomed in the wildflower part - don't know what flower it is - but it's absolutely gorgeous.............
A marigold has come up - but it's not in the wildflower pot - so where it came from I don't know............
A gorgeous vivid orange poppy has also come up - not had one like this for years.........
The mombretia is starting to flower too - hell it's too damn early..............
Talking of poppies - this Oriental one has come up in the middle of the driveway, and the last time I had any of these was a few years ago - it's great.............
This yellow begonia is absolutely stunning. Such a change from the orange, pink and red ones - it's gorgeous.
Well we've just had a lovely meal - a recipe of his nibs - and it's gorgeous. So we may have been following his ideas and menus over the last few years and I must say - he's a good cook.
Hopefully we'll get out tomorrow - but rain is due, but they lie so much that we'll just wait until we see the sky.
Yes, it does as I said have Yellow flowers, look back on your earlier photos of it were you'll also find its name. Great Mullen (Verbascum thapsus)
Pity about his Tablet problem.
Hope the weather men lied.
Stay safe.
Loved all of the flower pictures too! The yellow one on a tall stalk is a Mullein, we have Grand Mullein growing on our property, some of which grow to 6' tall! I think this is the same kind: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verbascum_thapsus
The flowers will bloom and fade, opening up the stalk, and it takes weeks for them all to bloom! ENJOY!
I learned something! The orange flower you labeled a Marigold...well I thought it was a flower called a Calendula. We're BOTH right! :D SURPRISE!!! :D en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verbascum_thapsus
Beautiful California Poppy and a STUNNING detail shot!! I have a whole bunch in bloom just today, HOORAY!!! *high five*
The Mombretia is sooooooooooo beautiful!! Love the droplets too. Very pretty!
Wonderful Oriental Poppy, and such an opportunist! I had a red poppy bloom in the middle of a dry patch of my front garden area...I couldn't believe it!! Hardy little devil and such a beauty too.
Finally, a wonderful begonia, what a gorgeous color!! :)
Thank you for the show, things are beginning to EXPLODE around here too, can't wait to share!
Jenny McIntyre club has replied to GracieI said the plant had yellow flowers. I also mentioned it will seed itself ALL over your garden so you do need to keep an eye on it, unless you want it all over your garden.
