What's Looking Good In June 2013

I think your white flower could be Iberis or to give it its common name Candytuft nFrost, I've just plantef one and its flowering now, good ground cover plant .

 

I think it's alyssum. They will self seed but have nice scents.

 

Woo - your garden looks amazing with all those nooks and crannies. You deserve to keep getting those prize pickings.

 

Got the culprit that has been after my lilies

 

Aww GA,
aren't they **** little blighters? I absolutely loath them but at least they do wave a nice big red/orange flag to show you where they are
What is the blue flower , 2nd piccie? Very nice.

Hi Jenny
The blue flower is a Blue Quamash it's really delicate and very pretty.

 

Hi GA

Is it similar to "Camassia" the flowers look the same I have grown the white and pale blue forms , mine where more upright with the flower stem .

Hi Spruce
Yes the correct name is Camassia quamash - they are such a lovely colour.

 

Did I mention my camera's Australian?

 

Wow, tirednewdad99, I can well understand why you are so tired - looking after a new baby and doing all that up-side-down photography.

Here are a few things looking good now in our garden.

Aquilegia


Nectaroscordum


Anisodontea


Muscari comosum

 

Azalea


In the pond Oriontium (Golden Club)


In the house Easter cactus: counted over 15 buds. They do look very impressive but are quite messy when nectar starts to drip.

 

Ooops on closer inspection and after googling I'm sure your right HsuH Iberis doesn't have that yellow centre.

 

Love the muscari HsuH I've never seen that before, very unusual

 

Woo, you're garden has really matured now and looks wonderful, it is all blending so well.

Armandii, I like all those deep coloured Aquilegia. I can't believe I'm saying that, for years I hated them as they grew like weeds in a previous garden, but they are slowly winning me round again.
