Garden Photos Event 2021

is being held here again rather than at The Very Mistress's - or anyone else's (because no one volunteered) - remember?

~O~

 I hope you've all made a start with the preparations to your extensive grounds/modest plots/back yards/window boxes/house plants/trays of cress, and have been taking photos - and will continue to do so - ready for the event of the year in November?

 I certainly have, along with Jon and The Madam Arcati.  Even Ms Scarlet has got her derrière into gear with a showing of her Big Pink Bush™.

 Anyway, here are a few little snippets from Hexenhäusli Device's gardens this afternoon.

 On the right is the lovely, dandelion-like flower of hawkweed (last seen at Castle Device, here), and below, my Gin Time corner (well, if Madam A can have a Wine Time corner, surely I can have an equivalent?), complete with G&T, of course.  I sat here earlier listening to the birds and the ever present hum of the bees and flies in the trees above (of which there is also a photo - taken from my vantage point).

 I love these darling little violas!  The ones above are in my Gin Time garden, while the vibrant purple & yellow ones below are on the paysho.  And below them are my prized Eucomis "Sparkling Burgandy" (with some Agapanthus that I divided far too late, so they probably won't flower this year - they didn't last year, either).  And below them are a couple of Gossypium nigra - cotton plants (from the Delargo Seeds Collection) - sheltering from the blazing sun under the table (they're already a bit scorched).

 And finally, just like with last year's Terrifying Triffidery, this year I'd like you to winkle out your most toxic specimens for a Parade of Poisonous Plants before the main event.  Here are a couple of mine: Ricinus communis (castor oil plant) and the young shoots of Gloriosa Superba flame lily).

  Now, go off and getting snapping!
