Ooh, Libertia, I've never dared buy one - wonder if I can grow them...Looking very sunny and pleasant in your neck of the woods Fairygirl, everything glowing and healthy
Raining a bit here, glad though as it'll settle some new & moved fellows.
Some pics before I got rained off:
Got this free from Parkers a few years ago but not really my cup of tea. Will lose it after flowering.
On the last of the daffs now, must be cracking on for summer
Lovely pix B3 - all looking nice and luxuriant and 'full' if that makes sense
VicS - I bought the LIbertia a couple of years ago. It hasn't flowered, but I think it may be a bit damp there for it. I really wanted it for the foliage anyway, so it's not a hardship.
Sun wasn't meant to happen here today so the front must have moved a bit! Plenty of rain yesterday and overnight so everything is putting on growth now. If the temps would stay in double figures reliably during the day, it would help the sweet peas though.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
I don't think it's the bronze. I had one last year and it has managed to survive. It is a bit 'browner' especially on the underside. This one seems a bit more coppery in real life

Those osteospermums/osteosperma/osteospermae are gorgeous. I love that bronzey pinky one B3.
Lovely pics B3, especially your first osteospernum. Is it "serenity bronze"?
I had one 3 years ago its a beautiful colour. I tried taking cuttings but they failed and the main plant wasn't hardy enough to survive over winter.
Lovely to see roses and summer flowers. Still on the spring ones up here but the roses do have some buds.
Thanks chaps. Don't know what the osteospermum is called. Got it in the gc
