What's looking good in July 2017

Heatwave

 

Mandarin

 

Another emerging group of knips with veronica

 

Who would like my rain? Up in 'sunny' west of Scotland, and looking at tomorrow's forecast it will be raining from 6am all day long.... currently grabbing towels and bedlinen in the hope of at least today to get them drying outside.

 

Appear to have a megabloom on me opium poppy

Corge flower

 

Not the best photos I'm afraid but it seems my eryngiums have become a bee and breakfast - over a dozen on each plant.

 

Corgeous

 

Like the eryngiums Stanley.....what variety, do you know?

 

If I remember correctly "Jos Eijking" - they are an amazing plant dying away completely in winter and just when you doubt they will come back up they pop.

 

Totally agree.....I have a small group of them but want more. Had a variegated form too, Jade Frost, which was superb but not reliably perennial. Fascinating spikey foliage and colour

 

have a beautiful hydrangea blooming now, its light purple /blue lacecap with beautiful blue pearls in the center. so precious. shame I cannot upload here.

 

Done it for you Esther

 

These are starting to get in the way
