What's Looking Good In June 2013

We have a number of weigelia around the garden (about a dozen - I think). They are a variety of different coloured flowers and leaves.

Variegated leaves (gold edges) with very pale pink (almost white) flowers



Variegated leaves (pink edges) medium dark flowers



Variegated leaves (wider gold edges) with medium flowers



Plain, medium green, leaves with medium flowers



Plain, dark green, leaves with dark flowers

 

Some of our dozens of Hostas - normally double the size by this time of year. We have mainly large leaved ones which are more slug resistant. We have different shades of green and a variety of silver and gold variegated ones.










We were away all last week so took our hanging baskets down to make it easier for friends to water them. We place them on pots to keep them off the ground and stick a cane in the each basket to hang the hook and chain on. It can be a terrible nuisance to rummage around in the plants to find the chain!

What do they say, Shiney??

 

They keep trying to tell me that Allium siculum should now be called Nectaroscordum siculum! Bah! Humbug!!!

 

I agree, Shiney, what a load of Nectaroscordum!!!!! As an aside, one of my cats [Jenny] has obviously given up in disgust at today's cool grey weather and just stomped up the stair to the Bathroom and jumped onto the Washing Basket which means she's going to sleep!!

 

Absolutely not, HsuH, and what lovely colours........love them all!!
