What's Looking Good In May 2022

Aquilejas are getting going, not a good year for these with me; they got going early then we had a few weeks of cold drying winds then removed the young growth.

 

These two would normally be cut to the ground by frost, this winter was mild enough that they are both shooting from the stems rather than peeking above ground around the end of May.
Acanthus sennii

Dahlia imperalis

 

Lovely, lovely, lovely Upsy. You look like a parkland I would happily visit.

 

Thanks....and you would be most warmly welcomed Vicky xx

 

The 1st pic was at sunset, if I had taken it a little earlier it would show how the sun acts as a spotlight on the bench + Donna...it looked so pretty.

 

Gardens is looking absolutely fabulous @Upsydaisy

Thank you Jenny.
Hopefully I'll start planting out this week, it gets to a stage when you want to see empty coldframes and greenhouse....no more lugging pots around...bliss.

 

Good morning Woo,
Jenny

 

Pandorea jasminoides in The Courtyard ...


Looking across the Sand Garden from under the Viburnum to the Bougainvilla at the end of the cottage with Myrtus 'Taratina' to the left. Plumbago centre and Mandevilla in pot. Iochroma overhead left.

 

That's a lovely view of your garden @Victoria

 

I was in the back of my garden and found a plant I bought two years ago which was still in its pot a Cypripedium kentuckiense hybrid. Need to get it planted

 

first of the male Trachycarpus is just starting to drop pollen.
Bit tricky to photograph as its grown into the yucca next to it.

Laburnum Vossii


Echium still going upwards.

 

Your garden's looking wonderful @Upsydaisy. May I ask what you have edged your gravel with please?
