What's Looking Good In May 2013

My wallflowers are putting on a good show this year, the cool weather means they're lasting longer too.
Here's a selection of all the different shades I currently have flowering, these are 'Fair Lady mixed'.

 

Very unusual two-toned leaves Kristen - haven't seen that before!

 

They're a favourite of mine Armandii, it's not just the colours, it's that lovely subtle fragrance too.
I must say I'm impressed with the way they've endured the hard winter and come through to put on such a great show this year.

 

Wallflowers are looking good Trunky - good selection you have there - something I have never grown - maybe I'll have to give them a try.

 

In our garden at the moment:

Rock rose start to open


Dodecatheon


Primula japonica


Bursting allium buds

 

Wonderful colours HusH!

 

Canna Cleopatra is a chimera. Some of the leaves come up green, some burgundy, and some half-and-half The flowers are the same, some spikes are yellow, some are red, and some are half-and-half, which looks pretty spectacular

 

Hi Simbad, I'm not sure which variety of Euphorbia it is as I got it as a small piece off a friend after commenting how nice it was This is the closest I could find; http://www.burncoose.co.uk/site/plants.cfm?pl_id=1839

 

Thanks for that Bilbo , I've never seen one like it before

 

They look like baby triffids Shiney.

 

Second of the tree peonies to open :-)
Lamium 'Orvala' I love this bought from Harrogate spring show, didn't think it would flower this year.

First of the irises don't know variety as swapped it on a swapshop.
