Flowers and foliage June 2008

Beautiful pics, Anasatasia, could you name them please?

[Maggi Young]

Thank you for naming the plants, Anastasia.
 Is your son safely out of the river?

[Anastasia]

Leaves forward! 

1. Peltiphyllum peltatum = Darmera peltata
2. Filipendula camtschatica
3. Lysimachia punctata "Alexander"
4. Arisaema amurense
5. Astilboides tabularis

  Fair Maids of France (Ranunculus aconitifolius 'Flore Pleno') was almost lost because of its habit of dying down quite early in the summer.  It was tracked down in a couple of old gardens here and is considered one of our "heritage plants". 

This plant is very popular, and common in many old gardens in North Norway. In the south it was not so well known, but becoming popular there too. I often have people asking me if I can help them to get hold of a plant

With the son everything is all right, and here its extraction.

I must say especially that first one is a great pic

Something from last weekend (not alpines, actually)

Ornithogalum arcuatum

[olegKon]

Forgot to put the name, sorry

Thalictrum kemensis

[Gerdk]

Last weekend at the 'Westfalenpark' Dortmund.
The great pond for tropical water lilies unfortunately was empty because they restored the whole construction. So there were only a few plants exhibited in smaller basins (no labels).

The blue one possibly is Nymphaea x daubenyana.

7. Rhodohypoxis deflexa

Gerd, do you grow this one outside or do you cover it with some glass in winter?
It seemingly likes a place where Fragaria vesca seeds itself.

A few pics from today:

Paeonia 'Fen Yu Nu' (a.k.a. 'Little Medicine Man')
Corydalis linstowiana
Corydalis petrophila - not much to look at in flower, but has pretty foliage in winter
Corydalis sp. ex Chen Yi - looks and smells identical to C. 'Blackberry Wine'
Parochetus communis
Smilacina NOT oleracea
Geranium delavayi

Edit: Gerd; I wonder if your Clematis could be misidentified?

[Kristl Walek]

Anastasia,

The plant that is called Dictamnus dasycarpum--this looks to me like the pink form of D. albus?
When I looked up the name it appeared that dasycarpum might be a synonym for D. albus? 

Or is it a separate species? I have the white and pink forms of D. albus, and am also growing D. caucasicus (not mature yet).

Three little frogs and a Paeonia

7. Rhodohypoxis deflexa

Gerd, do you grow this one outside or do you cover it with some glass in winter?
It seemingly likes a place where Fragaria vesca seeds itself.

Luit, I kept it into the greenhouse (nearly dry) over winter. It was planted in May into what I call my ' kitchen garden ' (1,5 qm).

Edit.,
You are right, the Clematis is campaniflora!  Sorry!
