Whats Looking good May 2024

Looks like a dwarf form of spruce to me.

 

Hard acts to follow on this thread, but just in case anyone was wondering how my 70cm lobelia (grown from a cutting)is getting along, I can report it is still tied to the tap for support and has bushed out nicely.

 

Oh, right are the needles flat, they look like they maybe, so disregard my guess.

 

The joy of gardening.

 

Gorgeous plants everyone!

You all seem to have fabulous shots showing healthy, beautiful and neat gardens. Do you have a weed and tidy round prior to photographing? Where are the straggly and munched leaves? Or is that just me?

I’ll try to do some pics today…

 

Sitting out front this morning before it gets too hot (it was 24c then) ...

 

Nope! Me too.

 

I never set up photos as most will have gathered, warts and all is my motto.

 

As most gardeners know it’s a full time job ,not just weekends ,my plan is to set so many plants the weeds don’t stand a chance.

 

Hard to photograph, being more a sound than a sight, but I have just counted 86 bees buzzing round a large clump of 2m tall cotoneasters. The noise is incredible. The flowers are so tiny they border on invisible, but yr after yr, the bees arrive from somewhere or other and spend a couple of happy weeks in constant activity from dawn till dusk on dry days.

You need smelly vision for this one, strange scent.

 

What is it, @pete?
