WHAT'S LOOKING GOOD IN MAY 2017

I love the strange flowers of the Jerusalem Sage, so I'm waiting on tenterhooks for these to flower.

My climbing Rose "Masquerade" that I bought as a dry root in a celophane package for ten bob [50p] back in the 80's. It has flowered every year right into December, so I've had value for money.!!

I like having one or two Alpine bowls around the garden


I was given these Hostas from a friend who had them in a pot twice as big as these two.
I split the original massive clump and put them into the two big pots, but I think I might have to divide each one again this Autumn!



The old Bird Bath is starting to disappear under the Peonies, Echinops and, eventually, the Japanese Anemones.

 

Hi Carolinel, it's one of the hardy perennials that fits nicely into my Cottage style garden..........Geum "Mrs Bradshaw", the pic being taken in the early evening at a low angle just to give it a lift in the look. I've also got the yellow form...Lady Stratheden.

 

@"M" I've got my fingers crossed as well. And the answer is, Yes, please.

 

I've been too busy to take photos but quickly rushed outside as dusk was falling and we started to get some drizzle (yes, we're finally getting a little rain ). So the pictures are a bit dull.

This Weigela has just come into full bloom - we've grown it as a standard


Whereas this one near it, a very dark red, is only just starting


Wisteria just opening


Just a few of our Heucheras










Not a Heuchera

 

It's called a sprinkler

 

Part of our new bed (two years old now) in the front garden (that's the bed with the Heucheras














Alongside the driveway we have a lovely variegated Cistus. This is its first flower this year

 

Still some of the front garden






We have loads of Iris sibirica around the front beds








The tall variegated plant is elderberry


Just coming into flower


With a young Weigela below it

 

My favourite tree in the garden (Shhh! Don't tell the other trees ). It's only knee high but almost 45 years old.








The variegated London Pride has just started blooming
