My Trachycarpus has 5 flowers, the most its had, pity they arent prettier

I trimmed a couple of fronds off and can now walk under it, I am head over heels in love with this palm

The path between the raised bed and biggest border..

Not a lot happening here, look at the size of the TF fronds lol 10 fronds this year, 14 last year..

Hi Dee, is that astilboides in the center of the last picture ?

Deedee · Post by **Deedee** » Mon Jun 10, 2013 8:37 am

Yes it is nick, believe it or not, thats a shady part of my garden, just a bit of sun later on in the afternoon, i would love to plant it into a border but i dont have the room.

I was recently given a division of Astilboides from another member and have planted it out in a shadey spot. Arlon has some nice one's in his garden.

Do you find it needs constant watering in a pot ?

Deedee · Post by **Deedee** » Mon Jun 10, 2013 2:39 pm

yes it does'e, but so does'e the TF and Gunnera next to it and the hose is only 2ft away so not so much a chore, at the min im watering the garden every day anyway. Its a lovely plant, isnt it..

Great pics again Dee!

It certainly is Dee. I have mine connected to a timed irigation hose , so it gets watered regularly everyday along with the boo's etc

Great plant amongst ferns etc Del. I took some pics a couple of weeks ago for a chappie on EPS. I don't want to clog Dee's charming blog up with my pics , so i'll chuck 'em over on mine.

Dee love the TF flower! you through me talking about TF fronds in the last pic though

Do you prefer the male flowers to female (or vice versa if i've got it wrong)

Yep, tall , fluffy sort of thing. Not the best looking but a welcome interest / addition. Mine are up about a foot at the moment.

I hate to say it but, Its to darn hot. I can't sit out in it

An update of stuff....

Outside the back door, I eventually found the mirror ive been looking for

Love it, not easy to take pics of mirrors

Some bits on the shelving..

And the semp pot

Over the moon with it...

A few randoms because PB is driving me potty and my txts are going and the house phone and the front door

Its gonna flush

Couldn't get a nana for this bed so stuck a CIPD in it

My pound shop bargain, some in this raised bed and some in pots, all doing well

I bought this at the allotments where i buy my Coleus. Mimulus (sp) i love the fold of one petal on each flower, I know, I know its not exotic but i like it lol

Thats it for now folks...
