A few shots this AM
A weirdly colored poppy, Papaver atlanticum 'Flore Pleno,
My artichoke in a wine barrel
An unknown osteospermum
First bloom on Molineux
I planted Geranium maderense ‘Alba’ 2 years ago, I had the more common pink one before, it's an impressive plant! This white one got massive, maybe 6 foot wide and 4 ft tall but no bloom. This winter it toppled, the stem was probably 3 inches thick so I whacked some of it out but left one stem laying flat because I couldn't pull it out. Meant to come back and dig it and replace it with another one I have in a large pot, the foliage alone is worth growing it! Low and behold, the top finally bloomed!
Glad I waited. It's monocarpic so it will have to dug up once it's done after all.
Summer Song is pretty intense in color, flash went off for this shot.
