It's August!

     Quite chilly outside... Time to review summer pics...

     My fuchsias were unhappy during the very heat. I added geraniums to make loggia more colourful.


 
     I've grown this white variety from cuttings, one kind lady gave to me. I don't know the name of variety, just that it's hardy:


     In general I was unseccessful with many plants I've grown from seeds. I didn't consider, that despite of south direction, my loggia is deep and doesn't get much light in fact. I've got many plants too leggy. And as for tomatoes it was cold for them outside.

     Cobaea climber just started to bloom:
 


Tillandsias liked fresh air very much:
 


     I've fed adult streptocarpus plants with slow release Baby Bio tablets, half-dose only. Oh..., it's difficult now to place them on windowsills every time I take them out for watering. Leaves have grown significantly:
 




      Several portraits:

these cute edges...

summer version, much violet, and tiny moons :)

DS-Crystal Lace - this leaf in front is 10 cm wide

DS-Towards the Wind - new in my collection

Kilimadzharo Snows - strong habit

DS-Sultan, the rose colour becomes warmer in time
     My favourite saintpaulias:

 

     Trailers:

Spot the difference! These are 2 different varieties. Opera Doc is in more delicate rose. Both have the same size leaves this season.



Deeper colour in fact
