What's looking good in June 2016

[DeborahJane]

My husband was given a bottle of elderberry wine, quite aromatic and lovely

Oooooh, elderberries I hope you are going to harvest them for juice (and/or wine?) if you are so inclined. The juice is so good, i never bothered to make wine.

No chance, too many hangovers from Elderberry wine

Ipomoea purpurea (Morning Glory v. Star of Yalta). This was a seed a few months ago and it has matured very nicely. I was so happy this morning to hear the buzzing of honey bees there. Maybe the butterflies will return as well (after over a year of exploding volcano chased most of the critters away).

Lovely Beverly

I'd be off if there was an exploding volcano too

Owcho is starting to flower

 

[Beverly]

@zigs hope you will give us updates on the bloom progress. I've never seen an Owcho bloom before

Will do, I only see him once a week, he lives in the conservatory at Thomas Hardy's place now. He's got lots of friends there and can show off to all the visitors

I inherited him off the ex mrs zigs, she'd been starving him in a tiny pot and occasionally using him as an ash tray He was only about an inch across then.

He appears to appreciate your coming to the rescue, chubby, healthy little bloomin' thing. I am looking forward to seeing the mature flowers. I myself cannot grow cacti so i have to appreciate them in photos. I am half water creature and half land creature and do not understand things that do not need water. So my past attempts at growing cacti have failed miserably and see no reason why i should continue this path to certain destruction. It makes me feel really bad, and the cacti feel worse.

I repotted him in spent mushroom compost with grit, and he loved it

I drowned my first one when I was about 8

total nutter.

And that coming from a person with a head full of bees, why don't you let them out to make a hive?

Now now good people, no personal digs please unless it's in good humour and friendly
