What's Looking Good In May 2022

Thank you @Victoria @Upsydaisy and @Logan

@Victoria I used to have Beloperone gutata as a house plant but no longer, and I don't see it to buy anywhere these days.
I hope you can get it back to looking lovely again

 

I have had the huge pink one down by The Jungle Room since 2006 and it has always lived outdoors, now in the ground, but this yellow one is new and the second time I am attempting it. I got the yellow cutting on line. This was the pink one in April ...

 

Upsy, I Googled it and came up with a plant with what looked like corn cobs upright, Mine is the Justicia brandegeeana 'Yellow Queen' one where they look like shrimp. I usually Yahoo search.

 

I got you first time Vicky. xx

 

I have deleted the one, now I have a delete button! Been having puter problems today but think all is okay now.

 

The Melaleuca is starting to bloom with its white brushes, in contrast to the fading ones of the Callistemon (they are 25ft up at least) ...


A few Hibiscus rosa-sinensis blooming ...

 

Primula re-flowering in the pond



Bluebells



Geum



Hawthorn Crimson Cloud





Aquilegia (growing very low so hard to get a nice pic)



Alliums are beginning to open up



Cotoneaster



Figs (so hoping we get to eat some of these this year!)



Ladybird on the fennel

 

I think it was the pink Beloperone I had @Victoria

 

On guard at the secret garden.

 

Only got mostly pot plants at the moment, the garden is still waking up.


All frost protection finally taken down for the summer.

 

All very colourful Pete.

 

Hibbertia aspera seems to be surprisingly hardy here.

 

Sadly last week I had to have my Hibbertia scandens cut back to gutter level as the roof is being replaced. How different they are!

 

Just had a wander looking at the Pelargoniums as they are crammed on the front patio and ballustrades waiting for the roofing works to be done.

In their home on the windowsill before removal of the Hibbertia scandens ...


Now in their temporary home ...
