What's Looking Good In May 2022

my osteospermum

 

They look happy enough Vicky.

 

Just sitting out having our lunch, my viewpoint is getting quite colourful now.

 

A lovely view Upsy. I got the Photinia so there is some leaf colour ... other than green! Your garden is coming along quickly now.

 

Thanks Vicky. I've started doing what I do every year at this time...worrying where I'm going to put all the new plants !!!! 2 weeks left to walk round and round the garden trying to work out where to fit them all in .

 

Climbing rose is earlier than in past years.


And the Deutzia is fully open now,

Jenny namaste

 

Tall Azalea

Shorter one
And a rhododendron not fully out but it shows the different colours

 

A week following the massacre of the Hibbertia scandens, it is flowering lower down now it is getting more light/sun ...

 

@pete You can probably just see it peeking up on the bottom of the other photo, but the Plectranthus "Mona Lavender" has survived but in this position where it only gets a few hours of direct sun ... and it has bloomed twice. We are really pleased with it and hope it fills this pot.

I still have a couple of the Pelargoniums alive ... will try to remember to photograph tomorrow.

 

It looks good, I actually got it from @longk originally.

 

Thank you Keith ... your plant has travelled well.

 

He promised me one, but it never came , or the Gelsemium. The Acnistus are doing well, though, @pete Merci beaucoup

 

Just remains to find out what colour the Acnistus is.

 

Stuff grows and flowers quickly here (when it survives), so should be able to post piccies this year

 

Oxalis a bit of a persistent weed, but I love the cheery pink flowers.

Eccremocarpus scaber vigorous Chilean climber easy from seed not fully hardy in the colder bits of the UK

Salvia guaranitica "Black and Blue"

Disporum longistylum "Night Heron"

Iris

Geranium

Syringa microphylla

Erigeron karvinskianus (Mexican Fleabane)
