Whats Looking good May 2024

My acer Shin-deshojo doing its Spring thing
It's about 35 yrs old now
Ther lime green shrubs on the left are Philadelphus 'Aureus'

 

Ohhh I like that Acer!

 

My Loropetalum has been lovely all winter in the greenhouse and was full of flowers a few weeks ago ...
then I put it outside for the summer, and now lots of the leaves have fallen off, and there are no flowers on it any longer

 

Mine's outside and is going through it's tatty period too The leaf colour fades and oldest leaves are shed, but it'll be back....

 

Hi @OwdPotter as @Plantminded mentioned, I’d posted some photos on my thread, could it be those you saw?

What do I plant in this big gap

 

Osteospermum

 

Our Medlar tree is in fine form with the lovely white flowers.

 

It's Allium season!

 

My earliest salvia - can you spot the hoverfly?

Astrantia

Allium season indeed ()

 

It’s also aquilegia season. I always love to see the variation in this plant - is there an aquilegia thread?

 

I like this time in May when everything starts to bulk up in readiness for flowering and buzzing!

First Meconopsis this year






One of my seed raised Abutilons. They survive winter here in a cold g/h.

 

What a beautiful day!

Brooklime in the pond


Clematis


Rose Olivia Rose Austin, lovely fragrance

 

... with beautiful blooms.

 

@Punkdoc very envious with your Meconopsis. We have tried over the years to grow them but only ever had one flower and then nothing. We followed all the advice but no go. Beautiful plant with stunning blue petals.
