Whats Looking Good In June 2023

I seem to remember a lot of people saying theirs flowered last year.

 

Spot the Brug Buds (two different plants) ... second blooming for both this year, previously April/May ...

 

Campanula takesimana " Elizabeth "



Jenny namaste

 

A couple more Oriental poppies;
Perry's White

Patty's Plum seedling

 

Lupin
.
Philadelphus "Belle Etoile"

Snap Dragon " Black Prince"


Verbascum 1 and 2 grown from seed years ago, just keep going.


Rosa "Zieglerknaben" First time it's flowered for a few years, probably due to pruning and removal of trees. It is very prickly and vigorous, needs moving really.

 

My one and only rose bush.

 

Lilly Beetle have devastated these white ones, and yet I haven't seen a single adult one.The grubs are having a real banquet on all the blooms. So upset.

 

Not nice at all Upsy ... trust you don't think it's looking good!

 

Definitely not this year some, blooms are crawling with the yucky grubs........so it's carefully selected pics only!!

 

Sitting in the garden all I can smell is these.

 

Wow, @pete so luscious and tropical and I feel I cannot believe my eyes when I know you live in England!

 

Exotic bed, still does well despite being North facing.

 

Does this look the same as yours @pete?.

That's our morining coffee bench under it, can't say that can detect any fragrance. It's also just outside our bedroom window too but again no fragrance in the air.

What is it called please. It's our neighbour's and I have to say it's a bit of a bugbear with us as it's grown so huge and as if the lovely Oak Trees aren't bad enough this too has now added to the reduced light levels in our bedroom and the family snug lounge below which is the lounge hubs and I mainly use now it's only the two of us.

Personally we think it's ugly, but maybe it's down to the lack of knowledge of their gardener.

 

@strongylodon that is so lovely!

 

Yeah, its Cordyline australis.
