Whats looking good in May

Bit late this year due to the lousy weather,

Clianthus puniceus.

 

Very nice Pete..................

Heres my Californion Lilac from last year.........Will post this years very soon.

 

Oh Pete, Thats lovely really lovely, Any info please, I love Red Flowers....Dee..

 

These were growing by the hedgerows in the park.

 

Well I grew it from seed, but it was the "in" plant at many garden centres last year.
Its not totally hardy but in a sheltered position in sun, does well.

Maybe I could come up with some seed if your interested but it does take a couple of years to flower.
You may be better to find plants for sale.

 

yes please pete, your a gem, I love a challenge...Dee..

 

Viola Purle Rain, a semi trailing variety.


Polemonium Reptens Stairway to Heaven.


The palms waiting for warm sunny weather.


Indoors, the Araucaria Heterophylla, Christmas before last.


and now.

 

:thumb:All looking good Strongy,love them palms:thumb:

 

Yeah the palms are really doing well strongy, do you think the araucaria stands a chance out side in your area?

Meanwhile its rebutia time, the white one is late as usual.









And a mamillaria, excuse the cob webs it is rather old.:D

 

Pete, There Amazing :thumb:

 

Thanks Dee, I like em.

 

The NIP will go out for the summer, as last year but is prone to blowing over in the wind and I don't want to keep potting it on. I wouldn't chance it outside through the winter, there is nothing worse to look at than a badly scorched conifer!
The Washy is looking a bit tatty but will improve, the rest I hope will start moving with some warmer weather. I root pruned one of the four Chamys (that weren't in the pic) and will be watching it to see if it suffers or thrives.

What a stunning lot of flowers Pete, they are real gems. How old?

 

Looks Great Kathy3, Your acer,s Ace It looks the same as mine, I Think :rolleyes:

 

You think your washy is bad, mine are worse, although not as bad as last year, they have amazing powers of recovery for a palm.

The cacti,(and thanks Bob), are in excess of 20yys old, I never repot now, I cant even lift the Mam. hence the cobwebs.
