What's looking good in June 2012

Well, despite the rain some things are still flowering and looking good in the garden:































Let it rain, we've still got some colour and views to look at!!

 

Yep, the Trellis Entrance is looking better and better with all the Clematis and Sweetpeas really doing well. There's a mixture of old and young Clematis on both sides and growing really thick so I'm quite pleased with the look and the effect.

 

As we're getting towards the end of the month I thought I would put a few more up.

ARMANDII, you said you would like some seeds of the white astrantia (no problem)



but they are now turning pink. Do you still want the seeds when they set?



Some aquilegias are still coming



Yellow Allium




This is an old fashioned, totally thornless, rose with a wonderful scent in the evening

 

Poppies

 

Peonies

 

Hi Jenny, yes, they're campanula. We have hundreds of them around the garden - all wild and self-seeded. As with all the self-seeded plants in the garden, they never get taken out unless we need the space. I've even stopped mowing around one of our plum trees because they have seeded themselves there.

The white peony looks quite striking amongst the red ones.

The first picture in 118 (with tiny purple flowers) is less than 1" high. Those are blades of grass poking through. It's a miniature peppermint and very strongly scented. We have it growing in the cracks in the paving in the greenhouse. It only emits its scent when rubbed or trodden on.
