The 'Delargo Towers' Garden - June


Here I am again me dears. I have at last started to repair the damage inflicted on me blog by Photobucket. Firstly I need to fill in the missing months garden posts (May to January) then replace the missing four years' worth of photos on the previous posts.

Wish me luck and here we go with June 2017



The new red and yellow boarder has filled up nicely and looked fab.


The red hot poker had started to go over but the geums, petunias and pelargoniums were all looking good,


A new Coreopsis, 'Sun Kiss', worked perfectly with the red and yellow theme.


It mixed in very well with our old favourite 
Coreopsis grandiflora "Early Sunrise"


We sowed Antirrhinum  'Defiance' and 'Black Prince' but their reds didn't work that well in the border


Having said in the past we would not grow Salvia 'Hot Lips' - it was 99 pence so here it is


Also new this year is the fuchsia wall which was doing well and will look even better later in the year


This is 'Lady Boothby' doing her best to screen the plastic greenhouse


In contrast to the hot colours of the red & yellow bed, the pastels of the cottage border seemed even more soothing -


Nicotiana mutabilis


Our Phlox had burst into colour -



and the delphiniums were still holding their own


Delphinium  “Blue Fountains” mix


Salvia transylvanica

Salvia patens “Patio Deep Blue”


Ipomoea tricolor, 'Kniola's Black'


Orlaya grandiflora


Penstemon mixed colours – cottage garden variety


I love this quirky flower, Scaevola aemula


Dianthus caryophyllus 'Supertrouper Sissy'


Phlox paniculata


No room to sit !


Brodiaea laxa “Queen Fabiola”


Nicotiana x sanderae “Sensation”, mixed


This petunia was a stunner but I have no idea what it was now


There tiz then my lovelies


I hope you have enjoyed looking back at the old garden as much as I have

Till next time,
