Whats looking good in June.

Thanks Shiney you have some beautiful stuff then again you have a beautiful garden.:thumb:
Rosietu your poppies are superb.:thumb:

G/man you will have stuff in flower when all ours has finished,your project is looking good.:thumb:

 

After all the colour this looks a bit naff.

musa basjoo in flower.

 

Especially like your 'Princess Diana' Bobj, and pete - there's nothing naff about your banana flower - quite an achievment I think!

 

Thanks Jarbax

 

Shiney, Bobj and everyone - lovely pictures. Do keep them coming.

Shiney, I think your Allium is A schubertii. Its like Allium christophii on a bad hair day. :D

 

Here are the next two Callistemon.
C. Sieberi, small pale brush, not as fluffy as others with small needle like leaves.


Still not identified yet, a short salmon/orange brush with long narrow keeled dark leaves (my avatar).

 

Wow strongy, I love that first one! Quite different to your others, my favorite!

Here are some pictures form my garden today, Having spent a fair wee while resizing them this afternoon, am not convinced they will appear on this page smaller, so am just going to try cutting and pasting from my album homepage in photobucket.

Having previously mentioned my liking for thistley looking plants, will start with a bunch of them:


Knautia macedonica in bud, and flower, and seedhead.


Cardoon bud:

 

A knapweed or something similar (I think!)



(some funny business going on with computer, taking FOREVER, so will save this one, and maybe do the rest later.)

 

Cirsium Rivulare



And some others:



Astrantia, Cistus, Bellis & Primula Viallii, Perennial Sweetpea


Unidentified Weed!

 

My white bed is taking shape with something beginning with c, sidalcia, osteospernum,astilbe, foxgloves and ox-eye daisies:



This rose isn't in the white bed, but it is white! (and apple scented)



Another inherited rose (beautifully perfumed):

I let it grow really tall this year!


A couple of allium:

spherosephalum (sp) and a wirey haired one with a fabulous pointy hat'!

 

Apples are coming and an orchid from my neighbour (in the wrong place - my white bed!).


Teasel, large leaved invasive monster, delicate little honeysuckle with strong scent and a different honeysudkle in bud.





Ending with a couple of 'hot' favorites:

Geum and potentilla.



Sorry to be so vague with the names!

 

My first try overwintering these, Fuchsia Carmel Blue

 

"Shrimp Cocktail."



"Harry Gray."
