Rhododendron Bellerophon blooming at Exbury Gardens, New Forest, UK

 Rhododendron Bellerophon is my favorite of all, it has the most amazing red blood colour. It was very hard to catch the colour in a photo as I was rushing and the light was fading away, but I think I did get it especially in the photograph bellow.

My small collention of plants in 2013







My small succulent collection in spring 2013










Crassula lycopodioides




Agave attenuata "lion's tail"






Sadly some of my succulent plants died after last years rains. In England you have to be so careful with succulent plants. During the warm months I take the succulents out into the garden as succulents need to get as much sunshine as possible and when it gets cold I bring the plants back inside.

Stephanotis Floribunda Madagascar Jasmine flowers about to open

Stephanotis floribunda (Madagascar jasmine, waxflower, Hawaiian wedding flower) Whereas Stephanotis are widely grown in the Hawaiian Islands and in many other tropical climates, Madagascar claims this woody vine as a native plant.
