What's Looking Good In June 2024

Livingstone daisies make me smile! The only snag is that unless it's very sunny (unlikely), they get a bit of shade from the house and only open late afternoon.

 

After seeing your recent post on Geranium Splish Splash @CatDouch, I noticed that mine was making a return yesterday. Not as spectacular as yours but a combination of reverted and variegated flowers on the same plant. Certainly variable!

 

Anisodontea capensis, very dainty Hibiscus like flowers. (One for you @Victoria !)

 

Corydalis Calycosa



And clover ...

 

Geranium Azure Rush ...

 

@NigelJ Some fabulous photos showing so many plants that we now don't have. Lovely to see them again.

 

@ViewAhead I think your second photo is bugle. We have it our garden and the bees love it.

 

@On the Levels, ah, you might be right. It seeded itself and the flower heads look like clover, so I thought it was. Very pretty shade of purple, so I'm allowing it to stay.

Tall Veronica taking up the baton as the Geranium Magnificum starts to fade.

 

Dracunculus just "flowering" the scent is overpowering and the flies love it.


Protea cynaroides (king protea) just opening this morning.

 

I thought it was self heal

 

@pete stunning photos. We used to have Dracunculus and yes the smell was something to avoid. The flies loved it but we never had any seeds form. 2 years ago it didn't come up and we had no signs again this year. The colour is amazing.
@Bluejayway I think you are right about self heal.

 

You have posted pictures before @Plantminded, each time I think how lovely your garden is. I like a fair bit of lush green myself . It really looks something special. When I grow up I would like a garden like that.

Thank you @Panda2, there’s lots of lush green growth here for a hungry Panda!

 

Could be! Whatever it is, I like it.

@pete, that Protea is ginormous!
