WHATS LOOKING GOOD IN MAY 2014

That's strange, it's nothing to do with sandy soil, as you know mine's the same as yours and the darned things still come up having self seeded from elsewhere in the neighbourhood.

 

Scilla hughii

Allium nevskianum

Dicentra formosa

 

Did you plant English ones maybe? Your photo looks like Spanish (which is a thug and cross breed with English and then out-does it :( )

 

They look like English ones to me.

 

The Wisteria is blooming................




Lots of these Tulips popping out around the garden.................


Eccromocarpus scaber taking the battle to next doors Clematis and Ivy................


Saving the best till last, Camassia..................

 

All yummy Keith - I can smell that Wisteria from here...

Cornflower


Dodecatheon


Wisteria


Laburnum


Hartstongue Fern


Fuchsia

 

My Acer Drumondii is at its best at this time of year. The fresh springs foliage seems to light up as it catches the late evening sun.



Standing beneath the canopy, with the leaves backlit by the late sun.



My first Iris of the spring. Absolutely no idea what the variety is.

 

Wonderful capture of light and true colours Trunky,
they really glow,
Jenny
