WHATS LOOKING GOOD IN JUNE 2019

Beautiful pictures of your garden @shiney. You must have noticed such a difference after your break.
I've just been for a wander with my camera.

Upcycled Containers- the slugs haven't reached this hosta and the barrow's full of thrift

Honeysuckles looking good

Atlas has been holding up the sun dial for over 30 years

Lots of Lavender and Nepeta for the pollinators to enjoy

Down the garden path - cat's eye view

Such beautiful gardens @shiney and @alana - lovely photos.

 

@alana your garden is absolutely stunning! What a paradise.

 

What's the shrub/tree with white flowers in your first post @shiney, about 4-5 photos in? We've got one hanging over the wall from next door and I've been eyeing it to add to my list of attempts at taking cuttings.

 

Two years on here and I had no idea you could quote pictures like that, thanks @shiney

It's this one

 

Saxifraga me ol' mucka! Maybe S.stolonifera - need to see the leaves.

 

First Physoplexa comosa (Devil's Claw) out this year.

 

The cornus is now changing colour as the flowers age...

And I saw this lovely massive crinodendron at a local NHS facility

 

As a flower arranger I grow shrubs for their foliage and this time of year they are looking good. The hostas are a particular favourite in the summer but the fatsia, pittosporum, holly and griselinia are a great standby in the winter months. The ferns are doing great with the wet weather we've been having so it does have it's compensations.

Pittosporum Tom Thumb

Pittosporum Silver Queen

Leucothoe Curly Red

Japanese Painted Fern

Asplenium Fern

Shuttlecock Fern
