Whats looking good in June.

Great pics, and beautiful flowers!

I love my cirsium rivulare at this time of year - it is at it's best now:



and am looking forward to the cardoon blooms too!

 

Aqualeiga going over, cirsium coming through the witch hazel and Patty's Plumb poppies behind.

 

I know some view them as a weed, but I just love 'fox and cubs'! (what's it's 'proper name?)

 

Pilosella aurantiaca Orange hawk weed Jarbax it is very invasive in some countries it is classed as a noxious weed,yes I was seduced by its looks but quickly got shut when I found out how invasive it is,I can see it being outlawed soon.

 

For you Bob,
Callistemon Mauve Mist in full flower.

 

Still in the seduction stages walnut - am quite happy to hoik out any that spread too far!

Beautiful plants Kathy - what kind is your allium? That is a gorgeous aqualeiga too, is the rose scented? - I thought I caught a wiff on the wind! My oriental poppy has passed now - great seedheads though!

Strongy - your callistemon are amazing!

Here's a wee pot of livingstone daisies - they fair brighten up the pebbledash!

 

One of my own allium:

 

Patience Bob:thumb: looks really healthy the coppery pink foliage is attractive, might sulk and not flower again for a year or so. It is a pity the flowering period is short but a lot of spectacular flowering shrubs don't last long.

 

This Aeomium has survived the winter, and is ready to go out. But it has got a tad leggy
