Hi John
Sorry I haven't been very active here recently. Working from home takes so much more time than teaching in the class room! Won't go into details :-(
Your plant certainly looks like a
Bidens
I bought a similar
Bidens
'Hot and Spicy' this year.

I have a small garden in Rome, Italy. Some open soil, some concrete, some paved. Temperatures in winter occasionally down to 0°C. Summer temperatures up to 40°C in the shade. There are never watering restrictions but, of course, there is little natural water for much of June, July and August.

Thanks for that, David. I don't know where these plants have suddenly appeared from, neither of us could recall seeing them on offer anywhere before.

Thank you Hilary for the photos of your Fuchsia pink flowers and your Pink flowers, they are beautiful and brighten up tha day. I love the
Crupina crupinastrum
very much. It is so delicate and airy it makes me feel that it should be embroidered on a cushion.

Embroidered on a cushion. By coincidence today I noticed that a cushion I had embroidered about twelve years ago shows spring flowers and strawberries . I will snap it later

BROWN FLOWERS IN MAY
The title might be a bit misleading since I don’t have many photos of brown flowers.
There is a strip of garden in the yard of the block of flats where we live. Over the years various bushes and trees have been planted
1
Robinia pseudoacacia
, planted by the original committee over 25 years ago.
It is pruned radically in February or March
2
Pinus
, the junior school children, about 20 years ago, came home from school with tiny trees to plant. The Forestry Commission must have visited their school. Three pine trees thrived while a few other trees just didn’t make it.
3
Prunus armeniaca
. One of our neighbours planted an apricot stone and it produced this tree which at the moment if full of fruit. However, the fruit usually drops off
4
Cercis siliquastrum
, My husband planted this for me
5 And now a flower.
Stapelia grandiflora
seen in Ancient Corinth, Greece

What a beautiful rose that last one is Hilary. Any idea what it might be, exactly? The cream, peachy one.

Earlier in this thread I said that I was waiting for some Freesia 'Blue Moon' to flower. This is what came out :-(

David,
I have no idea about the rose
We took a walk round the village a couple of years ago and I snapped away at all the flowers
