This probably should be in the ericaceae thread... Kalmia latifolia 'Olympic Fire'

[johnralphcarpenter]

And some Phlomis now in flower in the garden.

And a few more...

Three Helichrysums from last two weeks.

Helichrysum frigidum
Helichrysum marginatum
Helichrysum milfordiae

I never had a flower at Helichrysum milfordiae.  It seems to me it is a weak bloomer?

Kris, if I ever manage to collect seed from the little Hypericum I'll keep you in mind as it's really a delight. I have it in a trough where it gently laps over the edge but doesn't sit up at all. It's not hard from cuttings or from little rooted layers.

I have not really had the time to resize and edit the pictures I took in June, and I do't know if I should post these in the June thread, but if so please transfer them there Maggi. There is a mix of plants which have been flowering for me:

Here are some more:

The Aquilegia jonesii was planted in 2012 and I was a bit surprised that it flowered in its second year already. It's the first time I have succeeded in bringing this diminutive Aquilegia into flower. It is planted next to a flat tilted limestone slabwhich gives it some rain shelter.

Thanks Lesley , that would be great  !

Looking at pictures of Aquilegia jonesii at the web it seems like the leaves are more compact on A. jonesii than the plant I showed above. Maybe it's a garden hybrid, as the seeds were not wild collected.

Some treasures in a trogue 

1. Physoplexis comosa, a fat plant
2. Silene hookeri. I don't know, whether the name 'Ingrammii' is correct.
3. Campanula zoysii.

[ranunculus]

Super plants and pictures, Gerrit.

[Roma]

That's a beautiful picture of Campanula zoysii, Gerrit.

These always surprise me when I come upon them in bloom.  They are growing by the side of a rough track which passes one end of my ponies' field and is some distance from houses in either direction.
