WHATS LOOKING GOOD IN MAY 2014

Thanks Shiney, a plant now on my mental list.

 

All looking awesome Mr Shiney ,
a garden well worthy of a visit,
Jenny

 

Shiney, you should open it up to the public!

Some colour in the Strongy Estate (all few square yards of it).

Front, ok the grass is a mess but most of the moss has gone and I'm working on it.
A 5 year old Lidl's Acer Palmatum planted two years ago and a small bright coloured one I can't remember.


Rhododendron Yakushimum Solidarity only planted in March but should get even better.


Back garden.
Acer dissectum


Fatsia Spiders Web.


Fatsia Jap Variegata with last years Wilkos' three Hosta 'roots in a bag', really bulking up now.


Young Acer Orange Dream and Salvia Argentea.


Heuchera Fire Chief or Georgia Peach?


Hosta Great Expectations and Wide Brim leaves on edge of pic.


Heuchera Silver Scrolls.


Phlox Subulata Kimono.

 

What a wondrous collection and all in pristine condition too. You seem to have a very sheltered garden Strongy.
Today, mine's looking a bit frayed around the edges,
Jenny

 

Some more bits, and bobs.

 

Love that intricate dragon fly Simon.
Your handiwork?
Jenny

 

Jenny, it was my wife's work....she's a great artist and very talented...


Naturally I would've done it better...but I got distracted.

 

Jenny, the border faces East so it is sheltered from the prevailing Westerlies but only gets full sun till about 2'o clock.

 

Triteleia hyacinthina..................


Lily of the Valley has come back with a vengeance despite what I thought was a major cull last year! Must try harder.................


The Aquilega cull is in full flow now, but here's a "keeper".....................


And here's a last shot of Salvia elegans before it gets a major chop back.................

 

Ghost fern



Lilac smelling beautiful

 

More aquilegia pics please! I reckon mine are a week or two off still :(
