What's looking good in June 2012

longk that Eucomis is an pretty little thing, never seen one before.

 

Everything is just beautiful JWK....

 

Best suggestion so far appears to be Niobe.............

 

Looks even better as the blooms open..............



E.bicolor is pretty widely available in the spring.

 

I may have to do "un petit deviation" to Morrisons on Thursday - just to see if they have one...
If they do, it's going in the basket...

 

Penstemon Electric Blue gets better and better.


Sunsatia (Nemesia) Mango, mulitcoloured and scented.

 

Peony 'Sarah Bernhardt'

 

I know. Deja vu all over again. But next door's tangle of roses is looking really good on my side of the fence now. In a small space, you're always grateful for extras. The rose with the trusses of crimson flowers smells gorgeous. Haven't a clue what it is. The pale pink is an old rambler that's been in the garden next door for at least sixty years, maybe more. I took some cuttings from it when the old lady who planted it died and they rooted beautifully. I was able to pass on some nice healthy plants to her son and daughter for them to plant in their own gardens.

 

Thats beautiful Clare and actually really weird, I've just been chatting on another site about a rose that looks just like this called 'Veilchenblau', check it out see what you think

 

Thank you Simbad. I think you've solved the mystery and it is indeed Veilchenblau. I tried taking some cuttings from it last year but none struck. Might have another go this season. (No room in my garden but I'm looking ahead to the rolling acres I'm going to have just as soon as I've secured that lottery win .)

 

Thats really pretty Clara.

 

Campanula Portenschlagiana Catharina

First time I've grown this, so plonked it in a pot and it's been flowering since end April.
