WHAT'S LOOKING GOOD IN JUNE 2018

@ARMANDII
My dream garden

 

I think this is some kind of Papaver.

 

That is a gorgeous colour Martin.

 

I am sorry about your plants but hopefully they'll recover mate...with your tender care

 

We bought two Bottlebrushes last year, half price in B&M. I'm sad to say they've been rather neglected by me but despite that and winter and spring storms they've survived

The other plant is a little behind but has lots of flower buds getting ready to open. I was going to put them in the ground but now wondering if keeping them in pots might be better idea, albeit much larger pots than they are currently in.

 

That is nice @martin-f

 

If I haven't acknowledged your posts with a like over the last few days I apologiss - it would appear that I no longer get notifications on this post and appear to have missed out on over ten pages which is a little too much to deal with at the moment.

Anyway...............
Sollya heterophylla is looking great now............

I love how these hebe flowers look when photographed up close. So pretty

We bought
two of these from Asda £2 each, to go around our memorial Angel, as the Erysimum Bowles mauve that we did have there have grown so much, that we thought we'd plant them in the garden where they can have more room to spread. We will need to find something else to plant once these have gone over.

I love these, I know they're wild flowers, but they're so pretty, so they're staying in the garden

 

My hanging baskets are doing nicely. It's ironic how I was worried about caring for hanging baskets and they turn out to be about the only things that are growing as they should. I was expect the osteospersamums in the baskets to repeat flower.




My bergenias have responded well. They are coming into bud for the second time this year. Even the wimpy other half at the far end is budding. Hopefully this time next year both plants will have filled out.



My buddleia may be looking a bit worse for wear but it too is budding nicely.

Cistus silver pink?

 

Thanks Kaz that looks like it, its only a small shrub at the moment but producing more flowers yearly they don't last long but they have got character.

 

We have one Martin, the flowers only last a day or two but they are a lovely pink. I got ours from the market last year.
