'Choco' Lilium and other lilies from Chelsea Flower Show blooming the first year in my garden

I bought these beautiful lilies at Chelsea Flower show in 2013. This is first year of bloom. Sadly some of the lily onions got eaten by curiuos squirrels, at least 4 plants didn't get to grow and bloom. The further smaller, darker ones are called Choco Lilium but the bigger red ones that have a stronger scent.

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.
