Six on Saturday

There are more lovely images from the gardening groups this week, I’m happy to say.

1  Giveaways are good

Our first gardener is rightly pleased with plants that came as freebies, plus a cheap buy from Tesco (other supermarkets are available!)

This bright and cheerful Cosmos was a giveaway, as a seedling, from another member of the group.

This Hesperantha was another freebie from a group member

This Mexican daisy, Erigeron karvinskianus, was a freebie from Chatsworth House.

Colouful violas, and supermarket specials.

2  Holiday snaps

This gardener took time to check out the local pomegranates in Turkey.  Delicious!

3  Cloud pruning

This recently planted Chinese Holly, Ilex cornuta, is carrying a pleasing crop of berries.
