Nerine cultural hints
Lovely wild cyclamen in one of the old cemetery parks in Upland Road.
Several of you bought Kahili Ginger plants, Hedychium gardnerianum, at the PHG autumn plant stall. The flowers have the most wonderful perfume. If you leave the heads on them once they have finished flowering, you will get red berries all the way up the old stem in late autumn.
Gloriosa superba 'Rothschildiana' or flame lilies are in flower now. They need to establish themselves first in a glasshouse, but they can certainly go outside in the summer.
Dahlias in Brock Road front garden.
The flower displays on the old petrol pump stands at the junction of Candie Road and St Julian’s Avenue.
Two lovely hot colours for the autumn flower bed, both bought from PHG. Arctotis 'Hannah' and Dicliptera suberecta, the Hummingbird plant.
Yet more wonderful colour near Market Square.
Tulbaghias and Verbena ‘Seabrook’s Lavender' in Tattie’s garden.
Amaryllis belladonna, the Jersey lily or naked-lady-lily are in bloom beside Queen Victoria in Candie Gardens.
