My first strawberries!
Probably the most expensive strawberries in the world. £26.95 for 18 plants. 6 plants doing well (Mara des Bois - which these are). 2 questionable but I’m hopeful (Manille)… 10 never really showed much sign of life (4 X Manille + 6 Gariguette).
These look nice though and smell like concentrated strawberry summer. That’s tonight’s pudding sorted. One strawberry for himself and one for me.
Which tastes better with butter? The fruit or the flower?
Wow… that’s stunning. Not sure I’ve ever seen one flower before. Was in the Channel Islands last year and came across an allotment full of fruiting ones which was some sight. I do love artichokes…
Another call out for a plant identification please. I tried to flip picture up the right way but can’t.
I bought a pack of these at Shannon’s last year, they’ve come back this year with at least 20 of these on each plant. No idea what it is, they seem to open and close randomly too. Quite enjoying the display
Oxalis deppei
Possibly Gazania, open in sunny conditions
Thank you! I will pass onto my mother in law. She be grateful too
Yes that’s definitely it. Name rings a bell too - thanks!
Wow stunning. In general the photos on the forum, gardening skills not to mention baking talent is amazing
I forgot about this thread! Beautiful pics @Foresthillnick
Here are some of the ones I’ve taken in the past few weeks.
Wow! They’re all spectacular shots but love the last one especially because of the colours. It would make a wonderful framed poster on the wall! Is it a clematis ?
Cheers! Yep the last one is a Clematis although I don’t know the type…
Loving this thread - some fantastic photos and plants here, and some superb macro ones @Foresthillnick.
The red stigma and pollen antler pic is from the tree lily you gave me. Amazing plant.
