WHAT'S LOOKING GOOD - JUNE 2014

Aloe (rauhii?) has started blooming...................


It survived the winter unheated in a blowaway but has suffered some serious discolouration....................


This rose responded well to a real hatchet job last summer!


Fuchsia procumbens.................

 

Oh the f.procumbens is so pretty!

It's a small bloom, but the plant as a whole is a great trailer for a basket or a spot where it can hang down.

 

Found this flower one one of my delphiniums



I have two delphiniums in one pot and one is dark purple which has produced this one random light coloured flower this year

The other was originally white but only flowered purple last year and this year has 2 white stalks of flowers and one purple

Its confusing me

Join the club! I was just admiring the bit of lawn by your shed - you're not alone

It's called the natural look. I use the excuse that the plants are the stars!

 

Its not a lawn trust me! after the wet winter we had and me going up and down to the chooks my grass is NAFF and no exsistantant in parts
Here is outside the gh next to the gunnera leading to the sheds,ive had to put rubber matting down so i dont slip leftwards,ive so many bald stretches in the garden its a hazzard Russia likes scratching it thou

 

Its penny lane, climbing rose

I have exactly the same trouble. I've held back from mowing and used a different route up the garden in the hope that it would recover, but no joy.

 

Albuca nelsonii..................


Salvia stolonifera (new from seed this year).................


Salvia patens "Oxford Blue"....................


Salvia discolor is one of my favourites so here's another photo................


Digitalis x mertonensis is considered a perennial Foxglove although I suspect that it rewards you less by the year - it's certainly not so good this year, struggling to reach any real height at all............


That said, the individual blooms are sooooo good..............
