What's Looking Good In June 2013

Got the Anomatheca laxa seeds from RHS as well. I can save some seeds for you if you wish just in case RHS don't have them this year. This one ( red on red) is good, but I've seen pictures of white with red markings which I like very much. I'm looking out for it but have yet to find it.

 

Echeveria - almost lost these over the winter but I repotted them and removed the dead stuff and they come back to full health




A lovely Clematis just opening, this one is Mrs Thompson

 

Love that Echeveria bilbo!

 

Mine was in the cold g/house and seems really happy now. There was a lot of dead foliage to clean up, but that may well have been because it was kept dry?

 

You don't need an SLR these days, IMHO a "bridge" will do.

Wide angle (full frame)


Max zoom (full frame)


Same image, cropped.

All hand-held; there was some light cloud which I think accounts for parts of the moon not being very clear

 

The moon not being very clear?? That last shot's a cracker Kristen!!

 

Ditto the above!

You're all too kind, but all I did was point the camera at the moon

But I can recommend the camera

 

The Bees love the Callistemon Salignus, flowering better than ever.

Sambucus Black Lace in it's second year.


Salvia Hotlips.


Nemesia Sunsatia' Mango' multi-coloured with a fantastic scent.


Penstemon Electric Blue.


Heuchera Mrmalade.


Asaitic Lily.



Fatsia Japonica Variegata with Dicentras.


Variegated mini Petunia, Arygranthemum Crested Yellow and Geranium Pink Meteor.


Viola Rebecca, must get some more, they flower throughout the summer.

 

Oooo yes please HsuH , the white with red markings sounds lovely

 

Lovely pictures and plants strongylodon very pretty nemesia...........

 

Bilbo the Echeveria is really eye-catching - you must be so happy that you managed to revive it after the winter period - well done!

 

Sinbad, I overwintered Mango in the greenhouse last winter and nearly lost it, the Sunsatias are larger than the other Nemesias and are cuttings raised not seed, I recently got some more from Unwins, I'll post some pics when they are fully in flower.
