May
There is usually plenty to photograph in May.
|
 |
|
Viburnum plicatum 'Mariessii'
flowers over a long period and is an invaluable shrub.
Geranium psilostomen is the largest geranium and great
value if you have the space for it. |
|
 |
|
The bed in front of the
house has put on weight in the last month. |
|
 |
|
Geranium macrorrhizum
surrounding a young Pinus sylvestris 'Fastigiata'. |
|
 |
|
One of our many bearded
irises. |
|
 |
|
Our soil is just acid
enough for rhododendrons but they would prefer more rain
in the summer months. |
|
 |
|
Pieris and azaleas.
The perennial in front is Veronica gentianoides. |
|
 |
|
We find Iris sibirica
much easier to grow than the bearded irises and we have
quite a large collection. |
|
 |
|
Bearded iris |
|
 |
|
Another sibirica |
|
 |
|
Primula prolifera |
|
 |
|
Definitely a Trollius,
europaeus I think. |
|
 |
|
Hellebores have been
providing colour for 3 months now. |
|
 |
|
Euphorbia palustris 'Walenburg's
Glorie' (middle), Euphorbia griffithii 'Fireglow'
(front), Viburnum opulus 'Sterile' back. We find
Fireglow suffers badly from rust if it grows in soil
that dries out. |
