Fantastico !!!
Some times ago my nick name was Phlomis 🙂
I think that I remember that. Good choice!
Now that’s what I call textural! Lovely images – the type you can look at for a long time.
Thanks Susan. It would probably make quite a good collage.
Beautiful photos!
My trusty Canon Ixus!
Wow, cool!
I know … I’d not noticed the emergence of the furry yellow flowers before.
It is almost invasive in my garden, it seeds every where. Yesterday I bought the pink phlomis I’ve been looking for for ages.
One man’s gift, another man’s invasive! Oh, I envy you the P. tuberosa. I’ve been looking for ages too, only to find one in a garden centre all shrivelled up, too far gone to try a rescue. 😦
Fabulous phlomis photos, such a photogenic plant in flower or seed. Alas, the more subtle pink herbaceous ones like Samia or Amazone don’t do as well for me as the yellow shrubby forms which are very easy to grow from cuttings.
I love the pink ones, but rarely see them around. Do you order online?
Yes, you could : i.e. Crocus, Knoll Gardens and Beth Chatto supply pink forms …. I picked mine up at a grass and associated perennial specialist nursery.
