What's Looking Good In May 2020

The Waggy is now in flower.


Salvia Orchid Glow, as it was only planted last July I didn't cut it back as I had done with the others and it is flowering now.

 

@CarolineL it does look similar, the buds are a sort of orange colour before they open, but I couldn't say for sure.

 

The last of this years Hippeastrum ( Amaryllis ) ...........



The inside of this one is stunning I think

 

Looks like a male. Is it full of pollen?

 

Ooh, you tease!
The other side of my cistus is now laden with buds so hopefully this is the much awaited purpurea, failing that I will gladly take up your offer

 

@CarolineL this is a close up of the flowers, it's been there for over 25 years and it's 30inches high.
The buds
It gets a bit neglected, two years ago thought that I would lose it from the drought that we had.

 

@pete, male and apart from my even smaller one in the front garden there are no others around.

 

@Logan it is gorgeous! And it seems to have lovely neat leaves too. I think it must be Golden everest - the buds suggest it.

 

Thank you @CarolineL it does look like it.

 

Brugmansia 'Charles Grimaldi ...

 

Iochroma cyanea ...



Hibbertia scandens bud clump ...

 

Sparaxis

 

Gorgeous pics @KFF

 

Thanks @Upsydaisy

Even with all the junk, pots, trays and everything not cleared up yet

This is the bottom corner at the side of the greenhouse where two fences meet and only gets sun for about 3 hours a day. The only thing that grows there are Spring bulbs and a dwarf Victoria Plum tree ( done really well this year, counted 237 plums set this year ). We've got a dodgy Salix that I'm thinking of getting out of it's pot and trying in the ground in the little triangle where the fences meet ( means digging some of the gravel up though ).
