What's Looking Good In June 2022

Eryngium just turning.

 

The front garden, I'm standing on the corner and looking down the road

If I turn right on the spot this is at the front of the house

 

Looking good Logan. Is that Lavender coming out? I love Lavender. If so, do you make Lavender bags?

 

Thank you Victoria, yes it is and i do dry a lot of it but not for Lavender bags, I sprinkle some on the carpet and vacuum it up, the fragrance goes through the vacuum and makes the room smell nice for a while.

 

Asclepias.



Aloe striatula


Crotalaria

 

Looks great, @mazambo! What's the species/cultivar name, please?

Nick

 

@pete did you grow your Asclepias from seed? I and a few others here are trying them but my seedlings have got to 3" tall and stopped growing. Any ideas please?

 

off the top of my head, either blue distel or blue steel, my thoughts are blue distel, I'll have a look and see if I can find a defo for you.
Only reference I can find is to blue distel, I remember I had it from Wilko.

 

Iris Supreme Sultan

 

Allium Globemaster bees are going crazy for them at the moment


Allium Universe its a BIG flower I am very impressed. Eryngium Neptune gold


Campsis


Oleanders

A very delightful Bougainvillea

 

Yes Sheal, from seed last year, I'm not sure which Asclepias it is, @CarolineL sent me some seeds, I started out with 4 plants to overwinter but only one plant surfaced this year.
I think they like heat, hence in the greenhouse.

 

Same here, from my little hideaway

 

Thanks Pete. I stratified them outside over the winter as suggested on the packet and I brought them into my utility room early spring. I've just re-potted them in a different compost to see if that makes a difference.

 

Mine are small to @Sheal I'll repot mine and see

 

@Perki I absolutely loooooooooove your garden.
