@Kimberley I haven't grown pear much, but if you had a pair of these with the same rootstock/scion combination and one is doing well while the other one isn't, I think your hunch about the scionwood being weaker is probably correct.

Quince has a dwarfing effect on pear anyway and if the pear scionwood became weaker from the defoliation or a combination of that and something else, the quince rootstock would overpower the weak pear. https://treefruit.wsu.edu/web-article/pear-rootstocks/ #Horticulture #FruitToot

#Rosa x prob ‘Dr. Huey’ (Captain George C. Thomas 1914).
#garden #gardening #flowers #horticulture #photography #bloomscrolling #botany

Closeup on a vibrant scarlet rose, velvety petals sprinkled with rain.
The cultivar ID is tentative, based on 'Dr Huey' having been used for many years as a rootstock for many grafted roses, in our area. Usually the graft has died off and left only this very vigorous rambler. I can't bring myself to eradicate it - it was here when we moved in abd has probably lived there for decades, and it blooms gamely all summer despite losing most of its leaves to black spot.

#Papaver somniferum 'Turkish Red', breadseed poppy.
#garden #gardening #flowers #horticulture #photography #bloomscrolling #botany

Closeup on a typical poppy flower, the petals are intense red verging on magenta, with a purple blotch at the base. The stamens are deep purple with pale yellow pollinia. The ovary ir pale silvery-green

#Papaver nudicaule 'Champagne Bubbles', Iceland Poppy.

Closeup on the flower. The petals are vibrant yellow orange deepening in places to intense vermillion. The center is greenish yellow, with pronounced black hairs on the ovary, and golden yellow stamens in a circle around it.

Tall Bearded #Iris 'Falcon Pride' (Schreiner 2007).
#garden #gardening #flowers #horticulture #photography #bloomscrolling #botany

On a white BG, a closeup of an iris flower. All parts of the flower are a magical combination of blues, ranging from something very nearly cyan, to a blue-violet. In addition they vary also in saturation, and the translucence of the petals provides another layering of colour.

A CHONK has appeared in the greenhouse…my female Nepenthes sumatrana “Nias” has two big rosettes going presently and one of them just dropped this nearly 7 inch tall trap. Most of the pitchers this plant makes are fairly yellowish in exterior color but this one, having grown far more exposed to the lights than usual, took on a bit more red. The huge blotched lid and highly striped peristome are same as ever though.
This species has remained a slow but steady grower for me, naturally happiest during the warmer summer months, but takes several years to go from the current state of giant rosette to climbing, upper-producing vine (with a nearly inch-thick vine to boot). I only got one flower spike off this plant so far and the seed crop was relatively limited, but of the handful of seedlings that came out of it and are still alive I’m waiting to see take off…and almost certainly produce some spectacular plants.

#Doritaenopsis cultivar, a moth #orchid. A scratch-n-dent cart rescue, this is unnamed as far as I know.
#garden #gardening #flowers #horticulture #photography #bloomscrolling #botany

On a white BG, a spike bearing about 12 flowers. Each has five lenticular-shaped petals, golden with magenta or maroon spots on it, and a labellum similarly coloured; the column is white. The flowers fade as they age, so there is every degree of saturation represented from very pale pastels to fairly strong golds and reds.

Lupinus polyphyllus, native lupin, in the foreground. Many small bluee-purple flowers on a spike. In the BG Lychnic coronaria, Rose Campion, out of focus.

Lychnis coronaria, Rose Campion. Many small brilliant magenta simple flowers contrasting pleasingly with silvery grey foliage and stems.

Rosa cultivar. An unnamend rose hybrid with coral pink petals and yellow throat, semi-double. It's close to dropping its petals and the stamens have curled back in toward the middle.

Rudbeckia 'Iris Eyes'. A golden yellow daisy-like flower, with a silvery green cone in the middle. Pollen and debris scattered across it.

In the garden, midsummer. Martagon-cross lilies.
#garden #gardening #flowers #horticulture #photography #bloomscrolling #botany

Lilium x martagon 'Peppard Gold'. One flower on a tall spike of many such flowers. The petals are golden, fully recurved, and spotted with large and small maroon spots.

Lilium x martagon 'Terrace City Group' (N. E. Pfeiffer, mid 1930s). On a blurry green BG a small recurved lily flower, silvery-pink base colour, maroon spots with gold aureolae. Several more flowers and buds in the BG.

Lilium x martagon 'Brunswick' (Otto Beutnagel, pre-1998). On a BG of blurry green and white, a gently recurve small lily flower. The petals are solid medium orange, with small maroon speckles. More flowers in the BG.

Linaria purpurea, purple toadflax. A spike of lavender purple flowers very much like snapdragons but more delicate. In the background, more of the flowers, and the silvery green foliage.

Lonicera cultivar (I would guess this is Lonicera caprifolium - derived), European Vining Honeysuckle. On a blurry green BG, a row of five flowers, each with a descending petal, then prominent stamens, they an upright petal. In the BG two clusters of buds. This is on out neighbour's fence and at night if we have the windows open it smells lovely.

Lilium regale var album, White Regal Lily. A white lily trumpet, but the focus is on the prominent pistil and stamens.

Lilium 'Lava Joy' (G.A. Verdegaal en Zonen Export B.V., 2021), Asiatic border lily. A brilliant peach-gold-orange lily, open fairly flat, the focus is on the prominent stamens and pistil.

Another plant that I have struggled with for a while that is FINALLY succeeding (mostly because I started these basically outside where they were going to stay indefinitely, which I should have done the first try…): Lotus tetragonolobus!
Frequently called the Winged Pea or Asparagus Pea, this Mediterranean native is a low-growing shrubby herb that produced brilliantly scarlet blooms and, like most legumes, helps fix soil nitrogen and so is often grown ornamentally alongside other plants (mine are currently in a squash pot). They are also edible however, the very young four-winged seed pods supposedly tasting like asparagus and used raw or cooked like other peas.

Hemerocallis fulva, wild daylily. On a leafy green BG, parts of three flowers. Each has three petals and three sepals, traffic-cone orange with lighter midrib and deeper burnt-orange areas.

Coreopsis cv, Tickseed. On a leafy green BG, many golden yellow daisy-like flowers with triangular petals. A few have gone to seed.

Clematis 'Jackmanii' (George Jackman, 1862). On a leafy green BG, a deep purple six-petalled flower. Each petal has a deep red-violet midrib. The center is pale yellow filaments.

Leucanthemum x superbum, Shasta Daisy. A huge daisy flower, with golden center and long white petals. In the BG some leaves and Coreopsis.

Epidendrum radicans is back in bloom!
Commonly called Fire Star orchid, among other names, it’s a cane-forming semi-climber that often grows terrestrially, found through much of the tropical Americas. Because it’s in bloom right now I will probably be prepping a video about it (as well as Drosera rotundifolia, Nepenthes gracilis, and a few others once I’m finished catching up from my last trip…).
