Trumpets and orchids

A dry day today - I've been out in the garden, finishing planting up the pots and planters. I found several more Northern Marsh Orchids flowering in various pots, so have separated them and potted them up - not sure what I'll do with them, but must plant them out somewhere! Several of them were growing in a big pot of pink lily-of-the-valley, so as a result of that operation I now have dozens of LOTV plants to do something with!

After lunch I went down to Homebase to buy some timber for repairing a section of deck fence and also bought a half-price tray of the white form of Bacopa monnieri - I'll be using these in the pot which I fixed to a post down at the roadside, together with a nasturtium and some ivy.

My Blip today is of my solitary flowering Cardiocrinum giganteum - a beautiful flower, though the leaves have been ruined by slugs.
