Flower of the Day for a year - a Challenge!

[roitelet]

A bit like the weather today, hot, Lychnys Volcano. It’s only 11am and the temperature is already over 30C !!!!!!!

[veggiechicken]

40 in the GH!
Some more sunshine from the Gazanias alongside it.

[Jungle Jane]

Dianthus with an antirrhinum that’s appeared by magic -

[roitelet]

A big blousy Peony, as soon as these bloom we either get high wind or rain to destroy them!

[veggiechicken]

Purple petunias including some of those spotty "Night Sky" ones. Apparently the temperature affects the colour of the plants when very hot they they're mostly purple and when cooler, they can be white with purple spots.
Not sure that I like them actually - they look a bit diseased!!

I had the night sky ones last year and I quite liked them, I also had the equivalent pink ones, don't remember the name, but I wasn't a fan of those.

I seem to post a few of these not quite as advertised.
This is what my wife thought she'd bought, black diamonds angel blue.



And this is the quite normal hydrangea we have grown despite ericaceous compost and rain water. We wuz robbed (off groupon I think)

[Jungle Jane]

The first Elefant leek flower,this is the only plant out of eight in a row that the flower spike grew up then down then up again,like it was a snake in a previous life. Also the first runner bean flowers,these are plants from last year climbing up an onion -

A rose!!!!!!!

[veggiechicken]

Corncockle. Pretty self seeder.

A couple of hypericums from a seed mixture called “Magical Berries”
Trouble free so worthy of a space in the garden.

[farendwoman]

[mcdood]

A rose and a hypericum
