What's looking good in May

Rhododendrons




Dwarf delphinium


Calla lilies - they're huge this year

A recent purchase to replace the ones that I had lost in the ground over the winter (which all emerged as soon as I'd bought this!) but worthy of a photo or two.................

 

Oh my!! I love those!

 

The Aqueligia and Iris make a lovely combination.

 

I like this Lily thing. I bought the bulb in a charity shop for 50p. It's huge now :0)

 

The first time I've grown Gooseberries and I just found some on the plant. They're quite small, but definitely Gooseberries
