What's looking good in May

@ARMANDII

my favorite shot are they chives ?

 

No sign of blooms on mine but the stems that the fans grow on are nice and long now.

 

Sorry forgot to post pic of Dragea/Wattakaka in flower. Here it is with the Trachelospermum asiaticum at the top. The scent from both is delicious

 

Two very choice climbers @philomel

 

I bought the ordinary Trachleospermum jasminoides last week from Homebase of all places. It's a good size and just breaking bud. I'm looking forward to the scent.

 

Lots going on all of a sudden.

 

I know this is hardly news of the week, but I'm really excited to see the first leaf of my first water lily break the surface, there is also a flower bud forming too.

 

Salvia "Pink Blush"..................


Echium candicans................

 

Clematis koreana x fusca

Clematis Broughton Star

 

clematis koreana 'Dark Secret'

 

I've had this aquilegia since my first visit to Shiney land in 2013 but it didn't flower last year. This year it is putting on quite a show:-




And another plant with special meaning to me: "Ghost" Bleeding Heart



A geranium but I have no idea of the variety (but, it has travelled with me to my last 3 homes - so, it's a "keeper" )



And my Pittosporum "Warnham Gold" has decided to flower!! (Never knew it even did!)

 

The first flower head on my Hydrangea macrophylla Endless Summer Pink ('Bailmer') (it later turns a much darker colour)



solanum crispum (potato vine)



Choisya (Aztec Pearl)



Allium




Allium against Choisya


And lurking within the Choisya is a budding clematis ... can't wait for it to bloom so I can see which colour it is ...

 

Absolutely lovely close-ups to enjoy for this month, thanks.

I'm still struggling with finding the right wildy vs horribly untidy look on my 'Wildy long border'.









A couple of random snaps (and that reminds me, that garage needs repainting, been saying that for ....)
