What's looking good in June 2015

Eschscholzia


With its wizard hat on


Orthrosanthus laxus


Penstemon smallii


Trollius chinensis


An un-named rose


Campanula

 

Hu HsuH,

Has your Campanula got a name please ?
It looks like a Persicifolia, but I've not seen one before that has a picotee edge to it. It's gorgeous.

 

I think they are C persicifolia. I've got some blue and some pure white ones. They self seed themselves, usually keeping to either blue or white colour.


I've never noticed the ones with a blue tinged edge before. I agree they're gorgeous. I don't know what their seeds will turn out to be but will collect some if you want to try your luck.

 

Hi HsuH,

Thank you very much, that would be great

If you let me know when they're ready I'll pm you my address.
Perhaps there's something I can swap with you.
I've quite a few seeds of old fashioned cottagey style plants spare inc. some Campanula Medium ( the cup and saucer Canterbury bells).

 

Beautiful pics, the rose looks like it's had a caprisun X

 

First flower on a seed grown Solanum lancifolium.............

 

How long did it take to get to this point, lonk? I do admire your patience!

 

Five months, so not very long at all. Add a month for the seed to germinate.

 

Wonderful photos everyone. There really are some stunning gardens about.

 

Thank you

 

Its allium cristophii like this one and yeh they are huge!!! I love them



Hebes





Just a few of the sweet pea flowers there are whites and creams as well

 

I'm sure I had that Hebe years ago but suffered in extreme cold (-5/6c) and died, I think it is andersonii variegata.

 

i kept all my hebe plant labels and dont have that one listed on them so i dont think it is

Sad that you lost yours
