Whats Looking Good In May 2023

Nice plant.

 

No 1 - I can’t remember
No 2 - Rhododendron
No 4 - Evergreen Azalia

 

Yes, nice plant. We put three of the regular (?) Persicaria in the border a couple of years ago. We had to dig them out, they were rampant!

 

Thank you.

 

Mix bag of pics taken today.

Azaleas...the pink are in full bud but are always the last to bloom.


Irises from my parents garden ,this year they have really multiplied and are springing up everywhere!




Rock Roses just beginning to bloom.



Likewise the Yellow Poppies.



Hostas.

 

Lovely Upsy. I had an Azalea here a long time ago, a Picotee ...

 

Ferula communis

Triteleia ixoides "Starlight"

Iris

Aquilegia doing better than last year.



These two Wisteria are at RHS Rosemoor

 

The red one behaves itself . There a few around the site and they don't get out of hand. Get cut back to near ground level in Autumn....
They root easily from 3 inch cuttings in a jar of water now,

That's a nice bunch of Hosta @Upsydaisy looks like you are lacking a supply of slugs & slugs I have plenty don't forget to duck

 

Thanks @Perki I stand them, raised, in trays of shallow water , this stops the snails & slugs being able to reach them. They use to be planted out in my raised patio borders but it didn't take long for them to look as if they were made out of lace...they looked awful!!

Since digging them up and giving them their own personal islands they have remained looking healthy all season long.

 

Deutzia rosea

Coelogyne cristata.

 

That is grceaful and unique. I have never heard of it so must look it up.
