At long last the first flowers are opening on the Callistemon (bottle brush plant).
The first of nearly fifty flowers showing this year.
Having survived two winters the Salvia Hot Lips are putting on a good show
When they finished flowering last Autumn I cut them down to about one third their height.
Without pruning they could become too leggy with long bare hardwood stems.
It does look good. I sometimes wish I could get enthused with flowers but apart from admiring them I can't be bothered with the work involved.
ReplyDeleteWell, whatever you do certainly seems to be working! My problem is that I never know what I am supposed to be doing with the plants and flowers that grow in my yard! :)
ReplyDeleteBoth look beautiful. The Salvias are certainly putting on a lovely show.
