Flower of the week

[slomotion]

Or rather flowers of the week. These are from the garden centre at Gosforth. I am in there quite often and they dont mind me taking photos. My garden is all but finished for the season now. Looking forward to bulb time. Hope you are all having the best day possible. Helen X

Lovely idea of a flower of the week, please keep it up. Just what was needed today. xT

I have loads of flower photos, they may not be seasonal now, as my garden has finished for the year - until bulb time. Glad it helped. Helen X

They look like gorgeous Rubekias to me. Bought a plant for this new garden and they have flowered for months and the bees live them. Must make a note to get more year. Great photo.x

[slomotion in reply to rosewine]

Glad you like them. Anything that encourages bees are my favourite - I love to photo insects too. Helen X

They are so beautiful my friend, thank you so much for sharing. I am sure that rosewine is right that they are Rubekias, as it is too late in the season for Gazanias? It is juts that the leaves on the right of the image match those of Gazania Sunrise? Rubekias are a genus of the Sunflower family and so wonderful when open.

I have been planting bulbs most of the week in between the showers. I had two boxes totaling 450 bulbs and then I have bought another 150. They are all mixed from daffs, nacisisi, tulips etc. I am hoping for a dazzling display in the spring!

I sincerely hope that you are well today my friend.

All my hopes and dreams for you

I was swaying between the two Ken you can sort of tell when you can actually see them can't you but a beautiful Autumn colour. Hope you have someone to help you with those bulbs I put 10 in the other day and I thought I would never straighten up😥🌸💐

WOW what a lot of bulbs! You are going to have a fabulous display. Do post a photo. My photo is of Gazanias - taken earlier this year. Now running out of pics of flowers currently in bloom. My garden has finished until bulb time. However, I have a big stock of photos to post and hopefully they will brighten up the day for all. Helen X

[rosewine in reply to slomotion]

Yes please as now I only have a tiny garden I now sometimes feel like a but if a voyeur coveting other people's plants! OH just said I could get you some Tulips just for the price of the postage and I am ,,,"yes please" and then I think where am I going to put them. Well I can always purchase another couple of tubs.x

[TheAuthor in reply to rosewine]

Both Suttons and Thomson & Morgan were a free bulb and plant offer lat week whereby you just paid for the postage. That is why I have had a few extra x

[TheAuthor in reply to slomotion]

I will post a photo of them or a YouTube short when the sprout and flower. As I have only been in the bungalow 2 years I have not planted any bulbs here before you I am quite excited to see what grows? I think Gazanias are so wonderful with their bright colours x
