Since there seems to be a dearth of postees, my watsonia has finally bloomed after four years of coaxing.

Its a kind of a long flower to photo.

Heres an evil looking saracenia.

Then theres this osteospermum trailing wantonly across the path....

Well-- so much rain here - can`t believe it ! Thank goodness it didnt rain on my "Tea and Cake" in my garden, we raised £387 for Macmillan Cancer Care .
My Aeonium"Tabulae Forme " is about to flower -- cant wait , but will it die after flowering ?
Cheers P.F.

I've come across a photography competition that may be of interest to some of you folk:

It's the International Garden Photographer Of The Year, in conjunction with the Royal Photographic Society.

I have this amazing echinopsis flowering.


This is a Schick Hybrid.

In many respects it speaks for itself.
The flowers are huge but dont last  long.

...to watch or record:

BBC2 8.00pm Hampton Court Flower Show.

Early June and the produce is fairly throwing itself at me:

Brittle wax.
