June Colours !

Nice pics but that Campanula ‘Wedding Bells’ is amazing !

Isn't it just.
It's even better in the flesh, it's one of those flowers that compel you to gaze upon it.

hi Louise1 flowers look really lovely great pics love the Clematis Bijou i didnt no that u cud get a Clematis that spreads along the ground i will deff have to get that "Learn something new every day"lol

Mobee, Bijou is new, i only found it to buy in March or April.
I'd read about it but couldn't find an outlet selling it and then .... it was at one of the garden centres near here.
Interestingly, just the one, not the other main garden centre so maybe the supplier isn't flooding the market.
Can't understand THAT logic though so ....

Beautiful, there are all beautiful.

Louise - do you find campanula 'Kent Belle' reliably hardy? I've been offered one but don't want to have to replace it every year

I'm going to say yes Andrew.
I planted it in January or February of this year and seeing as it wasn't killed off by that surprise bad/hard winter i'm pretty certain of its hardiness here !!!
Considering it wouldn't have put down strong roots yet i think it's pretty good going.

Thanks for that Louise

thanks Louise1 will be on the Bijou hunt weekend might even try ebay never no ur luck:~)

What lovely photos!

What a riot of colour! Lovely photos of wellgrown healthy plants. Give yourself a pat on the back, Louise.
I love that scabious. For some reason they refuse to grow in my garden, and believe me, I've tried.
Bbb

Great pictures of all those plants, they really look fabulous! I liked your Rosa "Summer Wine" very much! I have one that looks similar Rosa "Fred Loads". During the last week I've had some fabulous flowers on it! Unfortunately I broke the first flowering stem when reaching across the plant to adjust some pots on the balcony railing - one fell off & broke the first flowering stem. :( I took some photos of them today but haven't got around to putting them on the computer yet.

Colourful and pretty Louise

Gr8 pics - as always! The hardiness of plants, even within the UK, never ceases to amaze me! Lovely! :-)

your gardens are looking spectacular Louise :) I love that campanula wedding bells

Thanks Grindle :)
Wedding Bells is gorgeous isn't it ? :)

Lovely photos -Rosa 'Summer Wine' and the Penstemon are the ones that do it for me, that rose is sensational.

Wagger, the smell from that rose is exquisite.

On my list it goes then - thanks for that, Louise.

just love the flowers in your garden, the colors are so beautiful

Lovely pics Louise1. Interesting to see how Bijou performs as ground cover. I've just bought Arabella and she does the same.

Keithsmum, you're right about Arabella, she'd do it well. I have her crawling through a hedge, Jouiniana 'praecox', she does the same, i have her too.
Bijou is different somehow though, i have a very soft spot for her !!! :)))
She has the appearance more of a true climber whereas the other 2 don't.

Hi Louise1 - I haven't planted her yet so will have to pick a good spot - do you have much bother with slugs and snails?

They don't seem to go for her Keithsmum, i'm pleased to say :)
The only Clematis that's being eaten is Comptesse de Bouchard and something's eating her leaves but not flowers.
