A few plants flowering now.  They were about the same size when planted but the Choisya is much bigger now.  Maybe it is too dry for the Fothergilla.

Fothergilla x intermedia 'Blue Shadow'

Choisya is a very nice shrub Roma, and I suppose fragrant? We can grow Fothergilla here but Choisya is too tender.

Our beginning of June resembles more the month of July! Because of the extreme heat many plants are flowering fast and fading even faster. Few pictures recently taken.

Geranium palmatum is just starting to flower

691479-1

Leaves of Gentiana cf. tibetica (not sure of the identity of this yet, but it seems to like it here)

691481-2

Hawthorn flowers - the May is late this year and still flowering well into June! This one is easy to miss, I have lifted its canopy to grow woodlanders underneath and so I have to look up to see the flowers.

691483-3

The early bulb area, a riot of Corydalis, Galanthus and Cyclamen coum in the spring, is now an untidy tangle.



Phyteuma spicatum.

Cirsium rivulare is valuable for its strong colour and is a great hit with the bees. Despite its name it doesn't seem to need moist soil.

691489-1

The planting scheme in the herbaceous border has rather degenerated in favour of self-sown sweet rocket and Phyteuma. Still, it looks very pretty (in fact has anybody on these boards ever managed to execute and sustain a planned planting scheme that actually works for any time? I certainly never have!).





Phyteuma nigrum. This hybridises with P. spicatum producing plants in a range of colours, from blackish-purple to electric blue.

691495-4

Paris quadrifolia growing under the hawthorn. I bought this from Susan Band a few years ago but then accidentally planted a Corydalis 'Craigton Blue' on top of it. Undaunted the Paris seems to have settled in and is now starting to bulk up and spread.

Wonderful pictures from everyone. The heat certainly seems to be bringing everything into flower at once. On my trip round the garden yesterday I found these.
1. Allium sorry don't know it's name just about 4 inches tall.

2. Campanula betulifolia.

3. Campanula muralis.

4. A trough of Dianthus barbatus which has been in all over winter just coming into flower.

5. Our ferny corner.

1. Penstemon strictus. From SRGC seed (as P. angustifolius, wild collected), sown 24/2/2019, germinated 4/5/2019, first flowering. It is always a disappointment if seed turns out to be mislabelled, because it is rarely an improvement upon what it was supposed to be. Still, P. strictus is well worth having.

2. Geum elatum. Unlike the more usually cultivated Geum hybrids, this Himalayan species will not tolerate dry conditions and starts to wilt instantly in hot sunshine. It must be treated like a Meconopsis. I have read that there is a red form, which should be nice. Does anyone have it?

3. Sarracenia × excellens. Sarracenias are easily grown with the pots standing in a tray with rain water in full sun. They are reasonably hardy and don't mind a few degrees of frost. This one is a natural hybrid of S. leucophylla and S. minor. Sarracenias are of course grown for the carnivorous pitchers, which at this time of year are just beginning to form (last year's can be cut off in spring), but the large, lampion-like flowers are striking too.

4. We had some hot weather, which is ideal for this part of the garden. Penstemon rostriflorus, P. heterophyllus and P. hirsutus, Moltkia petraea, Scutellaria pinnatifida, Salvia albimaculata, S. Hot Lips, Cistus ocymoides 'Susan' and others are at their best.
