WHAT'S LOOKING GOOD IN JUNE 2018

@longk

Dracunculus vulgaris


Opened fully overnight.
A lot of my aroids are running late this year, a couple of the Arisaema have aborted the main bud and one suffered from bigfoot disease.
In the greenhouse Amorphophallus konjac are just leafing up, normally they are in leaf late April early May a bit later if they have flowered. Some Lilium nepalensis bulbs I bought in spring time are only just beginning to shoot, whereas a close relative in the garden is in full growth with flower buds.

 

Is that the tall form from Robin?

Yours looks rather small or is it an illusion beacause of the angle? Mine were a bit on the small side this year.

The last Lilium martagon after the rest of the young blooms were taken out by slugs...........

The flowers of Stachys byzantina are small but this is one of my very favourite hardy plants..........

I can't claim any credit for Alstroemeria 'Indian Summer' as it was in bud when I bought it...........

Yes it is and I must remember to save any seeds.

No mine is rather small compared to others I've seen, but it is always about the same size.

 

I get sun, the garden watered and ....this!!!! A happy loki

 

It produces plenty of seed.

 

Verdun absolutely stunning pictures of your garden and such outstanding growth and a pleasure to view

 

Lucius that's where poppies look the best mate in the wild

 

Maybe WO but it looks good

 

According to Facebook, this photo was taken a year ago today.


Today I just happened to take this picture.


The Lilly has come on nicely. It's particularly remarkable as it stands neglected all winter. There are still several more buds wating to bloom. I'm glad I persevered with it.
