What's looking good in June 2012

Roscoea scillifolia is very late this year.............





Grevillea juniperina has been a real pain to get to bloom, suffering bud drop for about a month now.

 

The profusion of pink in the middle is Diascea Rigiscens. Hardy,floriferous and generously offers her cuttings in Autumn.

 

A few more from my garden last week.

Erigeron has seeded itself in amongst the Lavender alongside the path


More self seeded Erigeron and a lone Canterbury Bell help to brighten up an otherwise boring brick wall.


I'm quite happy to let things seed themselves and grow where they will around the garden. The bed behind the seat here is a result of this 'hands off' approach, it contains Lychnis, Feverfew, Sisyrinchium, Foxglove, Lemon Balm and Teasel, none of which were deliberately planted there.

Here's a similar bed in the front garden with Lychnis, Canterbury Bells, Yellow Loosestrife and Honesty all doing their own thing.


The evening sun illuminating the grass seed heads and Ox-eye daisies in the wildflower patch.

 

Lovely plants Trunky. I am very fond of the old fashioned "cottagey " look.

 

Been flowering its head off for over a week now I have 5 of these in a clump/drift, stunning large red flowers - Lychnis x arkwrightii 'Vesuvius' all grown from seed last year...

 

Never seen that before Bilbo. Very unusual flower form, lovely

 

It usually produces plenty of seed, you're both welcome to some if I remember to collect it ; it does flower in its first year from seed..

 

Charming , seriously ok no probs, thanks for the plants, much appreciated...

 

Will I be entitled to a share of what you harvest if I remind you, say... some time in August?

 

Just gorgeous everyone.
