What's looking good in May

@longk I'll try and do you a cutting if you like ?

 

Very easy from seed. Need to be frost free over the winter to get the best from them though (mine wasn't!).

Just bought one! Thanks anyway

 

Hemlock Water Dropwort



Don't eat that one

 

Giant alliums - taken a while to get going but worth the wait:

Lots of flowers coming on the hanging baskets too:

Thought I'd share today's photos.... Still to find out what they are

 

Just randomly saw this post and had the immediate thought "I've been called worse names"

 

Love the giant allium @OxfordNick​

 

Picture 3 is a Philadelphus (Mock Orange)

 

Picture 1 is a Mahonia

 

Ah thank you @Sheal, I can have a read up on it now, it's under an extremely large oak so surprised how tall it is, it looks beautiful

 

That's the one! I couldn't think of it.

 

I'm getting excited now thank you @Anthony Rogers another one I can read up on, this one needs a bit of TLC as it's been so neglected

 

It confused me at first till I realised it was berries, I think it's M. Aquifolium the Oregon grape.

 

I was just reading up about it on line, doesn't require any pruning but can be late summer if required, I'm going to clean the area up around it, take out the dead and weeds and see what it looks like then and to evaluate what needs doing to get it back into a good condition, will probably have to ask for a little more help with it at that time
