What's looking good in May

In the water meadow

 

Alex

now thats a stunner

 

Just a few bits from today....

Love the way the new foliage on the Pieris goes with the London Pride.



Dutch Iris and miniature Allium



A tiny groundcover I'm sure I bought as Asarina but I can't find any info

 

Just a few from my garden this evening.

The potentillas in the front garden are starting to flower. A much underrated, reliable performer in my opinion.



Self seeded aquilegias in the veg plot.



The Acer drumondii is at its best in early spring.



Its all coming together quite nicely now.

 

Our first May in this garden:

 

Hi Trunky, your Acer is gorgeous, it's got such a lovely fresh spring like colour.

 

All so beautiful

 

First sweet pea flower has appeared



Saxifrage



Lewisia cotyledon salmon



Wallflower



More alliums





Thyme



And cant remember what this one is and cant be bothered to find the label lol
