A fiery Dahlia Mardi gras, Real Jardín Botánico, Madrid, Spain. No photo editing needed, the colours just pop!
It takes about 90 days after planting to #flower, typically peaking from mid-summer into autumn, and it thrives in full sun #BloomScrolling #Autumn #Garden #Gardening

The West Indian #Lantana ‘Lantana camara’ is native to the tropics, so is best planted in #garden pots in the UK for some bright summer colour. Its nectar heavily attracts butterflies and bees, but it is not cold tolerant below 5°C to 10°C (41-50F) #BloomScrolling #Flowers #Pollinator #Gardening

I’m in Madrid, Spain this week and am admiring the gorgeous public #floral displays here. Spotted on a #flower tower, this vibrant flowering Coleus kong (Lamiaceae), whose leaves can span 6” across, don’t need trimming, and can easily fill a pot or empty #garden space #BloomScrolling #Gardening

An unexpected and shocking bright flash of colour today with a fuchsia and yellow #Garden cosmos I spotted on my travels! They actually thrive in poor soil. Too much rich fertilizer or rich soil causes the plants to grow tall, weak, and leafy with very few #flowers #BloomScrolling #Gardening

Petunia 'Black Velvet' (Petunia × atkinsiana), really not a true black, but a deep maroon colour, spotted in a neighbour's #garden last weekend. Not sure yet if it's my cup of tea, but it would be great in a spooky #Hallowe'en window box or hanging basket 🎃 #Flowers #BloomScrolling #Gardening

This oil painting on board (sold) was painted directly in the garden in 2011 and shows an azalea in a pot, some pansies and a couple of decorative wooden birds. Also (hard to see) halfway up on the right our cat Millie paused to be included.
#oilpainting #garden
I kept this azalea (or rhododendrum going for a few years in a large pot but when I put it in the ground with lots of ericacious compost it died (our garden is quite alkaline)

Tried to water the baby asparagus but the spout was blocked so I tried to shove the blockage down into the can but the thing inside shoved back.

Computer…enhance.

A green watering can with its spout blocked by something beige. It’s blocked by a frog! A frog’s face is glaring at me from inside the green watering can.

What a lovely garden this was to sit in and sketch! (maybe I overdid the twiddly bits). There were two friendly white poodles wandering around and if you zoom in you'll see one of them sitting on the circular seat along with another sketcher.

Watercolour drawing in a splendid Victorian garden in Cambridge 2013. One of the two resident poodles has joined Rosemary, another artist, on the wrought iron garden seat encircling a tree. The sun shone all day.
