Astilbe

Adore 🥰 #astilbe #astilbe-weisse-gloria

Nice 👍🏻

@vegandmore thanks Christine 😀 it’s a beast of a plant! 😅

Old & new 🤎🤍 #astilbe #astilbe-weisse-gloria

They both look lovely. The white looks so feathery. 🤍🤍

Astilbe still in flower mine are long finished

@hkyfvr @gjones @alan1111 thought they were all done but this sprung up from nowhere 😜 didn’t last long as it’s still hot here 😏

So nice you had that extra bit to enjoy. So sorry you are still hot there. Our weekend is going to feel like 40 degrees each day due to high humidity. Rain is coming after that though. Hope you get some too 🥰

@hkyfvr humidity makes it so much worse 😝 hope you’re weekend wasn’t too awful 🥵 we are supposed to have rain on Monday, after a 35° weekend. We are desperate now 😥

I hope you get some rain soon. We had rain yesterday and it finally cooled down. More rain on and off for us all week but cooler temps prevail. One night it is going down to 7 degrees. Will try to send some your way. 🙏🙏

@hkyfvr a bit of rain makes all the difference but sounds like you could do with less already 😜 the world is turning into a crazy place! I read tonight that here in U.K. we may have enforced power blackouts after new year as our supplies are so low. It’s one thing on top of another lately

I so agree with the crazy way things are going. It is very scary. I do not even want to watch the news nowadays. I remember years ago when we had rolling power blackouts one summer as our systems could not handle all the air conditioners blasting all day. Since then things have been updated thank goodness. I am worried about the future for my grandkids. 🙁

@hkyfvr you’d like to think it all might finally be a wake up call to us all, especially those that can enforce change. It’s not too late but will be someday soon 😞 it’s heartbreaking

I totally agree. Someday the world will look back on these times and wonder why nothing was done when it should have been done. I look all around our area and trees are being bulldozed down to make room for more housing. An entire apple orchard nearby is going to be levelled for buildings. It breaks my heart. 🙁

@hkyfvr makes you wonder what it will actually take to force a change. Nothing ever seems bad enough to make people care 😞

Light and lovely 🤍🤍

@gjones @hkyfvr @KOutdoors thanks ladies 😁 flowering so well in its second year 🤍

Most welcome 🤍

#astilbe #astilbe-weisse-gloria

That's lovely, mine are long gone 🤍🤍🤍

Beautiful 🤩🤍🤍

Love this beauty. So full and fluffy. Its shape reminds me of a white Christmas tree. 🤍🤍

@pelly @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom @gjones thank you ladies 😁 it’s a late bloomer and the foliage is looking rough but these spikes are perfectly white 🤍 well, after all the wind & rain they’re probably long gone 😜

@hkyfvr thanks Diane 😀 you’ve reminded me of a Christmas tree we had as a kid. Was horrendous, covered in itchy fake snow 🙈 hadn’t thought about that for years!!! 🥰

Very welcome Kerry. I remember the pink, white, and blue furry trees years ago. Just give me a normal green tree. We used to go out to a tree farm and cut down one every year. Good memories 💚💚

@hkyfvr I’m with you. A traditional tree can’t be beat 😍 only ever had a real one once. Think they’re a much bigger thing in Canada & USA 🎄🌲

They are in Canada for sure. Lots of Christmas tree farms. They sell pre-cut ones everywhere too. I am sure it is the same in the U.S. too. 🌲

Lovely flower. Look at all those buds. 👍😊

@gjones @hkyfvr thanks ladies 🤍 surprised to see it blooming so late in the summer! It is new so wasn’t expecting flowers until at least next year 😜 just love how the hundreds of tiny flowers make such an impact 😋

Always welcome Kerry. So great you got flowers this year. Very impactful. I lost 2 of these over the years. May try again as I do love them. 👍😊

@hkyfvr oh no 😢 for such robust looking plants they seem to get hit hard by frost. It’s killed a few of mine 😐 definitely worth trying again though 😛

Thanks. I may try. You know I would probably pink a pink one. 💗🤪

Looking better than real spiraea 😏🤍

@hkyfvr every colour is just a version of pink anyway 😉😉😂

@jeatacake it’s a lot more showy 😛🤍

Had to look twice, astilbe in flower this time of year, well I never 😮

@alan1111 me too!!! It’s supposed to be on its way into hibernation, not just getting into the swing of things 😂

Cataloging. #astilbe #astilbe-weisse-gloria
