What'a looking good in May

Aquilegia :-





Clematis Multi Blue :-





(with a Dandelion seed)

Omphalodes :-

 

A neighbours clematis hedge, he planted this 12yrs ago its one plant.

 

There is something about blue flowers that stops me in my tracks @Michael Hewett. I like the Omphalodes, is it a ground cover plant?

 

My new roses are making me feel very excited, I can't wait for them to be in bloom .
Blue Moon


Polar star


Blue Moon (number 2)

 

My new delphinium I think I've already posted a photo of this but I can't stop myself looking at the flowers gradually opening

 

Yes, in a way ... it's a little creeper

 

Hi Sheal,

How about this one then. Lithospermum



It's one of my favourites and probably the truest blue I've ever seen in a flower ( except for Meconopsis ).

 

Plenty going on in my garden at the moment, a few shots taken this evening.

 

I like that too. I've just had a scout on the interweb and there's a blue and white one too.

 

I've got the blue and white one. It's very pretty, but there aren't many flowers on it this year.

 

Some plants looking good yesterday....

Clematis fillu


Not particularly fond of laburnum, but I have to admit this seems to be a good specimen - each flower chain is nearly 15" long!


The last apple tree to flower


Can't remember which of my 50% reduction bargains of last August this is, but it has been flowering for months!


Embarrassingly late broad beans, but they are now covered in flowers

One large mass of thyme

So pleased with how the herb garden now look

Pots and barrels around the front door


I just love foxgloves!


golden celebration looking good!


Winchester cathedral


One happy acer!

 

Hi Sian,

Your garden looks fantastic

Any chance of a piccy of the Laburnum tree please.
These remind me of when I was a child, there was one just outside my nans house and it was beautiful.
Haven't seen one for probably over 20 years, there aren't any round here. We did have one near the park but the council dug it up because of the seeds.
If the parents looked after their kids right then there's be no need for such wanton " Official Vandalism ".


PS. Sort about the little rant on the end.

 

Sian that Golden Celebration rose is just beautiful.

 

Just for you, @Anthony Rogers

Most of the year, I am not very fond of the tree, but for 3 weeks, it is glorious. The noise from the bees has to be heard to be bee-lieved!!


And now that I've started a new post...

The Pom-Pom viburnum. That is a normal-sized bird table in the background!

Not sure if this is a large azalea or small rhododendron? Each individual flower is about 1" across


This is a rhododendron - each flower is 3" or more across
...passing bumble bee flew in to give an idea of scale

 

I think this is Geum



This little belter just keeps on giving



Heuchera flowers



Cistus



The first clematis flower opening, having wound itself up and through the choisya



London Pride



Can't remember the name of this one



Not too sure of the name of this one either (think it may be some form of campanula?)



White bleeding heart



The Sweet William is just beginning to flower



My faithful geranium which has never let me down; I adore the sheen on the petals!
