What's looking good in July 2015

Lobelia erinus (aka the trailing lobelia bedding plant), decided it's happier self seeding and growing out of the house wall.

 

Iris Ensata 'Moonlight Waves'......the flower is the size of a tea plate.





The back of a white Nicotiana.




I dug out my dying Sambucus 'Black Lace' last year after it was continually battered by wind. Below is one of the two cuttings I took, how well it will do in a pot I'm yet to find out.

 

You've made a great job of those cuttings @Sheal

 

Unknown Hosta..............

 

Thanks Loli, they actually take very easily which surprised me. I don't know how the other one is, it now resides in southern England.

If the members of GC keep passing on plants to each other we'll all eventually have identical gardens.....well almost!

 

Is that a Verbascum in the second picture nFrost?

 

I reckon so, I was going to ask for an ID but I can see further back in this thread a plant that is very very similar. Really nice plant I think.

 

Thanks nFrost. I don't know anything about them so I'll have to do some research for the future.

 

Sisyrinchium striatum I reckon. Take a look here @nFrost .................

Oh no, don't like that Longk.

 

Hi Sheal,

If you don't like that one check out Sisyrinchium Brachypus.
It's a small rockery or edging plant and it's flowers are like little nuggets
gold.

 

It is actually a lot better in the flesh than in most photos. Although it is a self seeder it's not as rampant a self seeder as Verbascum.

 

Nice!
