Shades of Pink.



The glorious weather we are currently enjoying ensures there are not fifty shades of grey in the garden, just these five shades of pink!


Nerine bowdenii.

Cyclamen hederifolium.

Aster 'Harrington's Pink.'

Aster divaricatus.

Rose The Generous Gardener.

Do you have shades of pink in your garden?

    We have the cyclamen too, fuchsias and some penstemon. On the plot we have lots of cosmos.

      Cosmos are great value plants at this time of year.

      Thank you, the majority of the cyclamen came from great aunts garden, so they are even more special.

    Now that would be a lovely title for a gardening book! Just reading a great dip in and out book: The transplanted Gardener by Charles Elliott, see if you can pick this up from your library.

    I have a bright pink aster too, and a few pink roses and Geraniums still flowering. I love that little pale pink aster. Very pretty!

    Love Aster divaricatus. I must get more asters, that one included.

      It does really well in our quite dry garden.

    Beautiful fall pinks - the Nerine, Aster and Rose would look great together in a vase. :)

    Very pretty in pink - my 3 nerine blooms went in my vase the other Monday but I am enjoying the second and improved flush on New Dawn

      I have been able to pick some of the nerines for the house.

    A lovely parade of pinks! I don't think of pinks at this time of year but you are right, Nerine Bowdenii adds a splash in the garden at this time of year and the roses are there too. I have some pink Cosmos too but I think they are upstaged by the C. sulphureus and the annual Rudbeckia in my garden. I agree with Rusty Duck, I must get more Aster. Amelia

      Aster divaricatus does very well in our dry garden, so it might well suit your garden and climate.

    All most pretty Brian. They must make you feel in the pink just gazing at them. That aster looks a really intense colour. I must investigate further :)
