What's looking good in June 2012

Wish I had a macro lens but hope you will permit me to start the June thread
1) Campanula "Elizabeth" 2) Clematis"Piilu Little duckling" 3)Clematis "Angelique" 4)Rose "Little Alice" 5)Clematis "The president" 6) Cranesbill pratense "Plenum violaceum"

 

Was greeted by this chap when i got home from work today

 

Nice photos. I have those Clematis also. I have a old rose from my parents garden. Lovely (as we say in wales) plant and with a sweet scent, but it only flowers over a short period, I will try and photo it tomorrow and post it someone may know what it is called.

 

Love the campanula Jenny , I grew some from mixed seed last year and a few are getting ready to flower for the first time, can't wait to see what they are, love the geranium too.

Love the Clematis , Gorgeous

 

Looks top notch Jack. How are you- back from hols? How's that tomato casualty. Everything in the veggie patch looks in fine fettle too.

 

Thanks people
Still Ill the first lot of Anti Biotics have not worked, on a second lot now that seem
to be working

The tomato that had no root on, that I stuck back in the ground is now after a fortnight ten inches high with two set trusses
The branch that snapped off the other one is about six inches high

The third pic is my attempt at DIM's Heucheras, only I have made an error and two of
them in the ground are TRAILING Heuchara's :-) so I think they should be in a basket hung up high somewhere
the board on the left of the pic, is from a Special needs school selling stuff for funds, it adds a bit of colour in the winter

Holidays are in three weeks, unless you count the week in the caravan, where I froze to death and nearly floated away in the rain
Of course the obligatory GAS ran out at 22:00 the night before we left

I stuck the stool in the Greenhouse so I can climb up something if I go over again

Cheers

Oh Stop it :-)

OOOH you are awful,
but I like you Jack,
Jenny

 

My Rhododendron Van is flowering - one thing she isn't is subtle ..





Marcel Menard's still flowering too ...



Hope you feel better soon Jack

 

I tell you what Jack....luckily you did no major damage to yourself when you fell...
The chap across the road from me did exactly the same thing would you believe but instead he fell backwards straight through his GH....WHAT A MESS...there was claret everywhere....cut a main artery in his arm and as he fell he twisted but thankfully not too far ....an inch away from his juggular...his poor wife was in a terrible state...i've never seen paramedics look worried before either.....thankfully many stiches later and a transfusion he's ok....
I was telling him about my mate Jack and he said same thing....'didn't even know why he fell'.....
Gardening can be a dangerous game......
Sorry to go off topic but had to tell......

 

There's a dire warning in there for each and everyone of us . Keep telling you, I knew I should have taken up knitting....
