WHAT'S LOOKING GOOD IN May 21

Lovely Woo, it's by first year of growing some but buds not open yet, won't be long.

 

Some of my little gardens..

 

It is all looking fresh and lovely Lori ... you wouldn't think you had all that snow not long ago.

 

@CanadianLori ... What are those purple pom poms on ticks please?

My new Oleander is opening its first blooms and the Alstromeria looks good ...

 

@Victoria those allium are supposed to be planted in clumps but since they are so expensive, I couldn't afford many last year. Now I look at it, they kinda look like fancy driveway markers!

Beautiful oleanders you have there. I used to grow everything in pots because I wasn't good at putting plants where they thrived and the pots solved that problem. Now, I too, am getting back into them as they look so nice. I think I'll try to make an effort to get one or two new,really nice, pots like yours each year.

 

They are so cute and obviously I meant on sticks not ticks! I must have 60+ pots. Pots will look nice on your deck.

Did your standard Hibiscus survive? I have one now and 10 shrub Rosa-sinensis, one the Hawaiin variety. I just love them. I am trying to germinate a Blackish one at the moment called Kiss of Death. I got the seeds from the States and a snail ate the first one that germinated and had the gall to still be in the pot smiling at me!

 

Alliums

Lupin

 

@Victoria I had thrown out the hibiscus as it didn't seem to have any life in it. I may still get another but overwinter it in the cellar. I really like them!

That's a lovely photo of your garden @wiseowl so glad that the wildlife are making it their home too.

 

Just got back from Lincoln and had a walk round the estate

So nice to see things growing and looking lush-lots of flowers to come...
