WHAT'S LOOKING GOOD IN MAY 2017

Good afternoon its late this year

 

Good evening @redstar I have sent you a PM my friend

 

The tree peony is already going over . It's three or four weeks earlier than usual






The lilacs are just opening - also a couple of weeks early. This is one of our double lilacs




Variegated London Pride is just starting to flower


Although we cut back the Euphorbia mellifera quite heavily it's still managing to dominate the bed


Allium giganteum is just opening - about 4ft high






Viburnum plicatum will soon be fully open

 

Honesty may be a weed in a lot of gardens but we like it. This is our only white one - so far.












This never looks any good in photos but looks good in situ. Its flowers are insignificant until you take a closer look.


They're not much more than half an inch

 

This has been in flower on the patio for about three weeks. It is growing out of the join between the wall of the kitchen and the patio so it's quite sheltered and has survived all the frosts.


Mrs Shiney said she wants some more space in the veg plot so this area has been cleared of self seeded plants of all kinds. Some have been rehomed.


The Magnolia frames Rosemary very well (that was her name when she applied for residence).


Beneath the Magnolia the Tiarella is just starting to flower - with Allium siculum not quite ready to flower


Cytissus battandieri (pineapple tree) is forming its flowers


Double white lilac


Montana is starting to open. The Conference pear in front of it looks as though it will have a bumper crop.

 

@longk They're in the greenhouse - if that makes any difference

 

They live in the greenhouse. It has been their home for years.
