The Garden in June

The garden looks a bit bleak at this time of year, but there's still a bit of colour here and there. As well as the plants that normally flower in winter, there are autumn-flowering plants still going, and spring-flowering plants just starting.

Tree dahlia - not completely flattened by the storms

Salvia still going, because we haven't had much frost yet this winter

Bergenia

Hellebore "Cinnamon Snow" looking gorgeous

Penstemon

Rose "Bonica" flowering on bravely into winter

Blue chalk sticks - not really grown for the flowers, but they are cute in a way

Correa

Eremophila

First of the yellow jonquils.

Another salvia enjoying the lack of frost

Lavender

Thryptomene

Forsythia is meant to flower in early spring. This is quite early for spring

Bethel sage doing OK in its new position

Rosemary

Viburnum tinus

Abutilon

Orchid looking a bit the worse for wear. Not sure what is eating the flowers

Flowering quince

Hebe

Parrot's beak (Lotus berthelotii)

More spring flowers - white jonquils and ranunculus

Oh you still have a lot of beautiful blooming going on there...;)))
My first Stargazer lily came out today--a peachy-pink...and my lavender has bloomed--I have to cut some spikes to make my yearly "tussie-mussie" .
Hope your weekend is a good one...hugs, Julierose

Hooray for winter flowers. Good to see the Bethel sage is happy in its much more suitable position and you can have the winter sun come in your windows.
