Hello and welcome to GBBD where gardeners around the globe post what is blooming in their gardens. Yesterday we had a day of rain after a long dry spell.  It felt good! 
I have been trying to grow some Matthiolas aka night scented stocks  and I cant get them to bloom. I have lost several but these here are holding on. Anyone who has had experience growing these please drop me a line on how to get them to bloom. 
To see more blooming gardens please visit Carol at may dreams gardens
Have a great week folks!

  1. Hi Helen, i seem to be looking at our plants here. The Delonix regia are mostly blooming everywhere in most streets, but i already lost interest taking its photos, haha! That last one you call Mothiola, havent heard or read it yet. I will search on how they look.

    1. Andrea my Mathiola is dying now. Will try growing them in cooler months.

  2. Aaah that Mattiola is a biennial. It flowers in it's second year from seed. They were looking good but I should think impossible to get through the hot wet season so they flower the year after. Like trying to grow foxgloves really!
