What's looking good in May

Nelly moser I think.

 

Your garden's come on a treat Charlie, you've worked hard on it!

 

Snap, but without the bonemeal.

 

Wigella really good this year.

 

@Sheal You're right, the third and fourth photos are both Knautias. No particular variety as far as I'm aware, a pink one simply appeared in the herbaceous bed a few years ago, I liked the look of it, so I let it seed itself and now I get them coming back every year in various shades of pink and red.

 

Guelder Rose

 

Anchusa Azurea Lodden Royalist


Salvia Caradonna


Aquilegia


sambucus nigra purpurea


Clematis Nellie Moser


Bearded iris growing through aquilegia


Growing with the foxgloves but not sure what it is? Branches of flower heads rather than a single spike

 

It's a weed that is common around here. The name will come....................

 

Not sure, but it looks a bit like White Comfrey. Does it have quite rough hairy leaves?

 

Yes, quite hairy on the underside.

Just googled it and it does look right, thanks

 

Reminds me of an old girlfriend

Yep, looks like Comfrey

 

Peonies in a shady spot..................


Eccromocarpus scaber is very late this year..................


And in the greenhouse Echeveria glauca.................

 

The beginning of summer, turtle doves have been purring for some while and the first flower heads are opening on Pennisetum orientale Karley Rose

 

A few bits and pieces which are looking ok despite the flaming howling gale that has been hanging about for days! I think the Rose is Fruhlings Gold, only flowers once but so worth growing, easy and doesn't need pruning/spraying/ cossetting! My Meconopsis have suffered with the wind but a few are keeping their petals on.
Pity I can't include the scent of the Pheasant Eye Daffodils along with the photo, gorgeous. They extend the Daffodil season by at least 3 weeks. All the rest of mine are well over. I will be lifting some when they die down and don't have anywhere really to replant....ok I just can't bare to plant more Daffodils I have planted 1000s. If anybody would like some I'd be happy to send them FOC to you. All I'd ask would be for the postage. Pleae PM me if you'd like a few/lot!
