Angle Shades Moth

This moth was in my house today. It's still here somewhere, I couldn't get him to rescue him. He was very patient with me allowing me to photograph him. When I was trying to get him onto the coaster, his wings were fluttering as if poised to fly off.

My garden at end of September 2010

And the lovely but short lived virginia creeper out the front

Garden at end of August 2010

A bit late, but this was the garden at the end of August. The big bush was a bit straggly

Cuttings

I've been busy today. I've been taking cuttings of all my plants. I'm not sure what I will do with them, but I'll see if they'll grow first.


These are ones I cut a month or so ago. Some of them have rooted quite nice, but haven't really grown yet.

Buddleia Buzz Diary September 2010

My buddleias out the back are looking good :)

Ah, the joys of blogger - it refuses to do this one the right way up

The ones out the front are still small, but I cut down the sunflowers this week, so they shall start growing tidy now. While I was sorting them out, I had to step aside and wait for a bee to do his business :)

Buddleia Buzz Diary August 2010

My Buddleia Buzzes have been planted for 6 weeks now. I can't remember which ones were which, but the 2 out the front are different and the 2 out the back are different.

This one gets a bit more water than the other one out the back, but it's growing a bit lop sided.

I've no idea why this photo is at 90 degrees, but I can't fix it. And it's the best looking one too, doh!

The 2 out the front are still fighting for room and water with the sunflowers. All locations get a lot of sun, so I'm not quite sure why these ones are just so small.

This one wants to flower :)

2010/06 Oh what a pretty bush 23rd June 2010

This bunch of bushes has flowered ever so pinkly.








The bees adore it, there's loads of them about



Hehe, this chappy's legs were juuuuuuuuuust about long enough

2010/06 My garden at the beginning of June 6th june 2010

Well I've done a bit of weeding and a slight bit of trimming this weekend, so a new set of pics.





My hosta is going to have a flower or two soon :)


I now have a name for my lovely bush. It is a Weigela


And my Valerian is looking just gorgeous. I have just one light pink plant, all the rest is dark pink.

2010/05 My garden on the last day of May 31st May 2010

An update on the garden. I haven't done any maintenance or weeding on it for a bit, but all the lovely pink flowers are coming out.





This is one lovely bush / tree


And it's flowers


And another one


The bees love these flowers


My sunflowers are looking good (well I think so)


And I have 2 different types of hostas. I've no idea what type they are or whether they will flower. something to look forward to.

2010/05 Weeds or not? 31st May 2010

I have these lovely looking flowering plants growing out the front.
The sister-in-law says they are weeds, but I like the look of them. They do like to grow, but are easy to pull out from places I don't want them.












And this plant has started to grow out the back. It looks a bit sharp, but I shall wait until it grows a bit more before deciding what to do about it.

2010/05 The garden in May 10th May 2010

The trees have are just about full of leaves now.




This one has the most gorgeous colour, but is blocked by another one from where I sit in the conservatory, so I shall have to chop a bit more off the boring green one.


Apparently these will be hostas and the slugs love them.
You can just about see my sunflowers starting to grow behind.

And I'm yet to find out what this plant is and why on earth the picture insists on rotating 90 degrees.
