Just sharing a few photos taken around CTF. We are in mid Spring and things are blooming nicely.

I need to remove the large overgrown lemongrass plant (in middle of photo), split it up and replant elsewhere!

| Flowers on the bank |
The bank is looking a lot better, covered in flowers at this time of year. Plenty for the bees to feed on.

| A bicoloured Californian poppy (self germinated) |

Now for a question: does anyone know what this palm is? It was given to us but we don't know the variety.
Thanks Charlotte. Have been a bit neglectful of blogging lately. Hope all's well on the boat :-)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colours through your garden. How beautiful things look in spring.
ReplyDeleteThat palm looks like a baby cotton palm tree but I could be completely wrong.
Hi livecheaperdaybyday, Thanks. I'm not sure about the palm - it doesn't seem to have the 'cotton' strands.. Unless these come later when it's bigger. Is only about 30cm high at present.
ReplyDeleteif you run a Google image search, I'm pretty sure you'll agree that your poppies are from California, not Iceland.11
ReplyDeleteHi HelenB
ReplyDeleteOoops! Yes you're absolutely right. Don't know why I got Icelandic poppies in my head there......!
Thanks ;-)
Wow. What stunning blooms!
