WHATS LOOKING GOOD IN MAY 2019

Gorgeous pics @Snorky85 , your garden is fabulous!

 

Thanks @Upsydaisy . Still works being carried out and needs a good tidy up and grass edging etc, but I'll get there in the end....until I start on the front garden project...

 

....yes it's definitely a never ending enjoyable task .
Date I say...but the skies are darkening...could we be in for a spot of rain!!

 

Is that a indigofera @Snorky85 ? the large pink shrub . your wisteria gorgeous as well.

 

Popped into a GC on Sunday whilst staying at Hoddesdon. Couldn’t resist these Calla/Arum lilies...

 

I'm not actually sure Perki, that was something that was here originally. I kept it as I thought it was so lovely. It suffers a bit with the frost but has done well this year.

 

Nigella + Blue geranium

Ferula communis

Erigeron karvinskianus (Mexican Fleabane)


Lampranthus coccinea


Echium pininana


Grevillea victorea

Buddleja colvillei

 

Both very special Nigel

@Snorky85 - how do you get Clary Sage to bloom so early?

 

A few things here;

Salvia officinis (culinary Sage)............



Plectranthus 'Mona Lavender' cuttings continue to bloom.............


Salvia gesneriiflora..............

Gasteraloe looks superb now...............


Salvia coerulea..............


Albuca spiralis..............




Asphodeline lutea............


Rebutia muscula...........

 

.

Ah, well these are plants which self seeded last summer last year, I left them in my flower bed on the allotment and transferred them to my main garden about 2 months or so ago. SO I guess they've had a head start.

I'm so pleased with them - they are beautiful. I have noticed that I had a white tipped one and a pink tipped one! not seen that before!

 

Acer, weigela bristol ruby, photinia red robin
Also an wayward rose, Paul's scarlet, and numerous weeds

 

frost can knock them back , it does favour indigofera himalayensis silk road .

 

A couple more;

Echeveria noid..............



A new Salvia hybrid, Salvia Salmia.............



Saxifraga stolonifera............


It's a lovely foliage plant.............


It produces masses of stolons (hence the name) that produce plantlets along their length.........

 

Crikey, it must be mild there then!

 

@longk well we’d had some heavy frosts and a few bits died but they've done great.
