June 2017 in the Northern Hemisphere

The standard form of Salvia microphylla has come into bloom. It is quite a good Salvia for fairly shaded spots.......


Hemerocallis citrina...........


A moment of shame here. I bought this small shrub from Poundland (reduced to 50 pence) last year but I cannot for the life of me remember what it is! Any ideas?

 
The first bloom of the year on Impatiens niamniamensis which has been outdoors for six weeks or so now...........


Another "houseplant" that has been outdoors for a while is Gibasis pellucida.............




A general view of the small bed by the back door which is pretty much finished now ............

Astragalus hispanicus is an endemic species of the Alicante region in South-East Spain. We have found the plant and i gathered seeds. This plant is raised from it. I described it in my article for the IRG: "Winterflowering species iof South-Eastern Spain". If you wish to look, here is the link.

That's a very nice one, Thomas. I grow it also and I love it very much.

A white theme from here,

A huge plant- likes lots of moisture.

Surely a first, the flowering of a Wheel Tree, Trochodendron aralioides, in Nova Scotia.

Very slow-growing but will eventually become very big.  Fascinating flowers.
