Flowering Now - June 2009

[arisaema]

Thanks everyone, there's some stunning pictures in this thread!

Paddy - I think that lovely Geranium of yours is G. himalayense 'Plenum', if so it should be about 30cm tall and mat forming.

Some flowers in our garden.
Daphne jasminea was suprisingly not damaged by the cold winter.

Very nice plants Luit ! 
I love the small Dianthus' !!! They look gorgeous !

[Paddy Tobin]

Ah, the names of two plants brought back to memory for me - thank you very much.

Paul, it is Moorea huttonii - certainly that was the name with the seed.

And, the geranium is G. himalayense 'Plenum' - many thanks for the  reminder, Arisaema.

Luit, I really wish my Verbascum x Letitia grew as yours does. Here, it simply hates our damp conditions and, while I grow it outside, I keep it covered all year round but it still has only made a very small plant after many years.

Luc, sunny and hot conditions again today but I think I have posted enough photographs for a while. Time to head to the sea for some swimming, I think.

Great prospect Paddy !  Have fun !

A couple of gesneriaceae in flower now.
It is supposed to be Ramond(i)a serbica (alba?) at the top and the bottom is of course Haberlea rhodopensis. Ramonda myconii (to the right of the picture  ) is a week later.
Meconopsis quintuplinervia is now flowering.
The primula is one I have not planted knowingly. It could have arrived as a piggyback seedling with other or being a self sown cross.
Does anyone recognize it?

Oooh, Lilium mackliniae, Nomocharis are just plants we can dream of here. Magnificent!

Luc, you have some gorgeous plants too in your garden. I love the D. Inschriach Dazzler, but could never keep it long here.

Very nice, Luit.  Love that last Dianthus, and that Hypericum olympicum Citrinum is going to be amazing once it is all open.  I don't think I realised there were smaller types of Hypericum like that.  Nice!!
