What's looking good in June 2015

A few from me;

Arisaema tortuosum..............


Beschorneria septentrionalis is really going for it..................


This Rose has rather mugged the washing line..............


No idea as to which it is though..............


Phygelius..................


Growing into it I have Bomarea edulis which has lots of big fat flower heads like this............


Digitalis Illumination Pink is not happy..................


However, Digitalis lutea is happy!

 

Penstemons;

This one has keeled over under the weight of its flowers.............




P.procerus is spreading out rather nicely...............


P.smallii is much better behaved..................

 

Salvias;

Salvia forsskoalii................


In a couple of weeks it will be making quite a statement.............


The red form of S.microphylla is very late this year..............


The white form has taken over the path however.............




Salvia x jamensis "Raspberry Royale" is looking really good (the thistle type plant is Morina longifolia)...............

 

Scorzonera

 

>> or Philadelphus?

What a plonker I am!

 

Ooh, I missed that !!!

 

I like June - a lot of the perennials are starting to get into their stride but haven't started to flop over or get ugly knees yet. Just one shot..



In the foreground - salvias, lavenders, sea hollies, agastache, budleja, big grass

In the background - veronicas, more sea hollies, more salvias, sea lavender, agapanthii, campanula, blue grasses

And in the top left,verbenas and perovskias (not visible) - both new to me this year

 

That's a lovely mix of plants Colin, they compliment each other very well.

 

Thanks Sheal - yes, there's a definite theme in form and colour going on.

 

I normally boil it up with a few slow worms
