WHAT'S LOOKING GOOD - JUNE 2014

In no particular order of favouritism;

Phygelius................


Salvia microphylla has really got into its stride now.................


Digitalis Illumination Pink enjoyed the mild winter..................




It's cousin Isoplexis isabelliana gets better and better in the ground.....................


Allium christophii......................

 

Great shots everyone and love the cats too, so miss our wee cat that we had to say goodbye to in February, maybe we will get another in time altho I'm not sure Mr and Mrs Jeffrey (our pet pheasants) would think this a good plan.

 

Ornamental onion! I've seen those around... I'll be needing some of those. I wondered what they were! (Who would have thought! An onion!)

 

Gorgeous Keith. How old is your "Illuminations" now? It looks to be a good doer and worth that bit £ extra. Would it "lift and divide later do you reckon?
Jenny

 

I bought it last year for three quid - another bargain bin buy

I've never had that much luck lifting established Digitalis Jenny

I also have Illumination Gold from a swap on another forum.

 

A few things are looking good in the garden at the moment. They are

Iris


Phacelia


Alpine Diascia


Helipterum


Echium Still looking good after a couple of weeks in flower. In the background the firethorn is covered in flowers and bees. Our birds will have a bumper harvest of berries to feed on later in the year.

 

Thalictrum aquiliegifolium


(Climbing/rambling ??) Rose


Rock rose


Nigella, not sure where it came from initially, once here it refuses to go. So I leave it alone in certain part of the garden. They do look nice when in flower and later when they produce seedpods.


Salvia microphylla


Anomatheca laxa

 

I've got daffs in my front garden I had a load left which I hadn't planted out in time, so planted them out in March/April and they've come up.

 

A pretty Antirrhinum in bloom already Armandii! Mine are still thinking about it.
