Title: June 2025 in the Northern Hemisphere
Post by: Knud on June 08, 2025, 06:06:24 PM

This last week I visited our local botanical haven, the Stavanger Botancal Garden, a couple of times. Right at the entrance the Chilean Firebush, Embothrium coccineum, was ablaze. Meconopsis punicea was at the tail end of what had been a good flowering for most of May. Lilium pyrenaicum was at the start of its show.
In the rock garden there were two in bloom I had not seen before, Aethionema kotschyi and Erigeron leiomerus

A last one from Stavanger Botanical Garden, a beautiful Edelweiss, Leontopodium nivale ssp alpinum.
In our garden Edraianthus horvatii has just started flowering, as has Daphne alpina.
