"The Beast" - our enormous Begonia × tuberhybrida “Sangria”
It's been another remarkable - and record breaking - hot and sunny Bank Holiday, and once again every moment of it has been spent on the extensive gardens here at Dolores Delargo Towers - lifting and repotting a few plants that were congesting their neighbours, and generally tweaking round the edges, feeding and watering. Oh, and sitting with a cider enjoying the sunshine, of course!
I haven't forgotten it is still a Tacky Music Monday, however - so let's enjoy a little jolly from Canada's own yé-yé girl (turned politician's wife, as I noted before) and today's birthday girl, Mlle Chantal Renaud!
C'est fabuleux!
Girl, I had to comment on your beautiful bloom...so full and colorful!
ReplyDeleteWent from the island of fire to the mountains. Now four work days and then off to Rehoboth for a long Labor Day weekend. I hope to be back one day ma dear.
"Work days"? Are you sure you remember what those are, dear?
DeleteAnyhoo, I've spent the weekend admiring huge and impressive blooms - and I have no doubt you have too!
The flags will be out when you do eventually return to earth... Jx
Blimey! Are you sure your begonia doesn't have a bit of triffid in it?
ReplyDeleteIn the dead of night, we do sometimes hear drumming... Jx
DeleteI managed some light weeding. And then it rained. AND then I was bitten by a horsefly.
