What's Looking Good In May 2020

Good afternoon all you good folk.
My Toms are looking quite good, so are giving them an airing.

 

Aquilegia

Pleased that the Honey Garlic bulbs I planted late have manged to come up and flower


Foxgloves self seeding happily in the front garden!

Hi Logan, they grow well, the containers are about two ft deep. I have a blue/white bicolour one at the moment ( it's about 3 yrs old ), nice and bushy with plenty of leaves but once again this year no flowers.
I think it's because of the compost as if I remember correctly they like a poorer soil which I don't have, as you probably know I only have a gravelled courtyard with no bare soil.

 

@KFF ...give them time.....ours are in the ground and only now just starting to send up the bloom spikes now, saw a tiny one this morning.

 

Golden Gate Rhodie Bud this Evening.

 

That's good then, they might flower later on, if you don't feed them they should flower sometime if you think that's why.

 

Thanks @shiney it was your photos of them that made me fall in love with them, I'd never heard of them before. I've put them in the front garden where we have other self seeders too like foxgloves and aquilegia, so I'm happy for them to seed about for now. I find things don't usually seed in the rest of the garden and think it might be because we have heavy clay most places, but I will keep an eye on them!
