What's Looking Good in June .....

This is something I might stop growing after this year, it seems to take an awful lot of effort for just a few flowers, but the flowers are, I think, special.
Brugmansia Sanguinea.

 

This on the other hand is easy and flowers anywhere.
Sisyrinchium striatum. (I think)

 

There's a fair amount of that Sisyrinchium at Mottisfont among the roses, with the old roses being mainly shades of red and pink, the yellow provides a nice foil. Quite a bit showing here among the roses, peonies, dianthus and Campanula Medium (Canterbury Bells)

 

Lovely pics everyone.
The brugmansia scares me a bit pete.I feel like it`s watching me.

 

Some of the things that are blooming in our garden at the moment.

Mock Orange



climbing rose



white pinks (smell heavenly, like cloves!)



peaony (only one bloom this year, too dark where it is)



hydranga just starting off

 

A few more -

It's certainly very colourful, Sis! Just love that Paeony ... gorgeous. Somehow your white Mock Orange and white Pinks are a lovely delicate shade of green.

Your first picture on the second post is not there.

It's a good job I have all these lovely flowers to look at as my borders and rockeries are lost!

 

All looks wonderful cuz, wish my camera took sharp photo's guess I'll have to look on e-bay and pick one up .

I love the white peony and the white pinks , all my pinks are pink but I know what you mean about the heavenly perfume from them it is really gorgeous

 

Here is the missing one.




As said in the other thread, I don't know why the pics now have a green tinge. I'd be thankful if someone could tell me why.

 

Pete - I like your Sisyrinchiums, very different.

Mike - that garden is a dream!

 

Just a couple more taken earlier this afternoon..



My 'Wedding Day'rambler is begining to open her eyes too!

 

Everyones flowers are gorgeous, I love your border Paladin and thanks roders the wedding was superb including the gardens...

 

Like the Sanguinea Pete, I have about 2 dozen I am growing on this year 4 different shades of red or pink I know they can be troublesome with bud drop if they are too warm but from your pictures well worth the effort, have you tried any of the Sanguinea hybrids I have one called "Sangre" hopefully post some pictures when it flowers

 

Here are two white flowers without the green tinge they had yesterday (thanks to Mike's help).

 

Walnut, my sanguinea is only a seed grown plant.

Are the hybrids any easier to grow flower wise.
Its alway too cold or too warm I find for my plants.
I did have one some years ago that had very hairy leaves, but that was not a great flowerer either.
