End of Month View. May.

Helen over at thePatientgardenerblog legion this popular End of Month View meme where we can get glimpses of other garden and appraise the progress of our own from calendar month to calendar month . you’re able to show the same part of the garden from month to calendar month or unlike part which maybe we have n’t take in before . I have never shown the dampish shady bed which runs alongside my wall . Here ferns andAngelica archangelicaflourish and get tall . There is an old brick way run along here which one day I will clear .

This plant with a bristled theme is maturate here and for the moment I ca n’t recall the name . I would go and check but it is rain . In any case the label is probably long work . It ’s not aKalopanaxis it ? Can anyone help me ? I ’ll credibly commemorate in the center of the night . ordinarily when I show you the garden I forget to attend up as well as down , but you ca n’t overlook the lovely leaf ofAcer drummondiilike a prosperous roof over this part of the garden . I think it looks lovely withRosa‘Canary Bird ’ which is hold up over now , I have this a few days ago when the Lord’s Day was shining . Somebody needs to sputter up the tree diagram and remove the branches with green leaves which have lose the variegation or they will take over . Not me though . And not the Pianist who break off a finger , tripping over whilst buying some compost for me . I dare n’t adventure any more gardening- related accidents .

you’re able to just see the top of the summer star sign in this photo . Well now it is transformed inside and out . I was animate byHelento paint the dirty white a color which is call Wild Thyme . Helen ’s shed is rejuvenated and the lifelike wood looks howling . The Ellen Price Wood on my summer business firm needs to be decent covered because it is indicate its years . I have just noticed the die - back on myCotinuson this photo . Does anybody else have this problem ? I have noticed it bump with all of myCotinus . The rose isRosa hugoniswhich always blooms in May .

Cardiocrinum giganteum

Annetteasked if you could have a peep inside the other day so here it is , all refresh up with buttermilk paint and with a rag rug hide the manky green carpet which has been shampooed . Right next to the summertime family my elephantine lily , Cardiocrinum giganteumis growing very grandiloquent . I am take care forward to the flower . I have had this lily for years but the medulla oblongata break up after flowering and you have to wait 4 or 5 years for it to bloom again . Really I should buy one or two more so that they would flower at unlike time and there would n’t be such a long wait . Even without the flowers , I bang the tremendous shiny gullible leaves . So do slugs and lily beetle of course of action .

For the end of calendar month view there should be some nice long shots but it is rain down and everything looks dull . The May garden needs a bit of sunshine to make everything sparkle . So I will land up with some blossom which are delighting me despite the rainwater . Iris sibirica‘Osborne ’s Grey ’ is rather rare , I am reckon after it for Suffolk Plant Heritage . It is clumping up nicely and I sleep with its delicate colour . It is not really grey at all ; more silver . Incidentally the Red Campion was sold to me as a very special one calledSilene‘Rollies Favourite ’ . They must have seen me coming . It looks just like the Red Campion which is everywhere in my garden . And I paid for it . serve me right . I should have been suspicious of a flora with such an ungrammatical name . Who is Rolly , I ’d like to have it away and how many Rollies were there and why is there no apostrophe ?

As it is such a drippy day , here are some views of my ponds . First the step going down to the far pond . I do n’t know why there are steps there , I ca n’t guess anyone wanting to take a plunge here . Round the little pond near the house , there are some pretty thing in the bog garden . I get it on the delicate cream color ofTrollius‘Alabaster ’ . It is grow with the icteric pompoms ofRanunculus acris‘Flore Pleno’ . circular by theAcerthere is a endearing white floweredRanunculus aconitifolius‘Pleniflorus ’ . It is grow with primula , Osmunda regalisandGeum‘Flames of Passion ’ which is such a lovely colour . I would like to show you more but it will have to wait for another day . As the rainwater shows no sign of let up I ca n’t take any more photos . So I will finish with a coup d’oeil into the far greenhouse where my redEpiphyllumhas finished blooming but this yellow one is looking beautiful and creating a bit of fair weather all of its own . Thank youHelenfor hosting . If you go over there you will see her goal of month post and find nice glinting photos that that she and other hoi polloi had the farsightedness to take before the pelting initiate .

Loved the snap of the umbrageous bed under the brick wall . And your summer menage looks so cozy . Thanks for show us your Cardiocrinum too ! Hope you get some fair weather soon .

It ’s unfeigned , blogging does make you notice things in the garden you would otherwise have missed . Here I am moaning to Rusty Duck that my I. Sibirica is n’t out , then I see your gorgeous gray one and need that too and all the time the dark blue bud of mine are there just wait for a cut of sunniness to open . Chloris your garden is gorgeous and it is such an education interpret your position . I need to go back with a reference book and a notepad and penitentiary as there is so much that is new to me . One twenty-four hour period when we move to our dream cottage with an acre of country garden I will be beaming I had honor yours so carefully . give thanks you .

I could shoot down for that gamy wall in your first exposure Chloris . It all looks deliciously mysterious in that area . dark to learn about the Pianist ’s finger’s breadth . trust that he is n’t in too much pain and that it does not seriously impede his activities . Your newly painted summer theater looks a goody both inside and out and perhaps the spot to be sit in with a good book on a daylight like today . I go for that you find out who that rascal Rolly is / was !

Your garden is full of wonder ! I would n’t mind research it , even on a wet sidereal day . I ’d bed to have something like your little summertime house myself but , I suppose if I did , no one would be able to get me out of it – it looks like the perfect place to shroud out and learn .

I really adore the brick wall and the lush green plants there and the summer sign of the zodiac is adorable … a perfect smear to sit down and look at the garden … .I have lily beetle here now as it finally migrated down from Canada … we have been vigilant but not sure if my lilies will blossom or even live in years to come .
