The Garden in June.



The Jasmine is in full flower, and when walking up onto our covered terrace, the aroma is intoxicating; almost overpowering.


This Abutilon is very good value; it flowers throughout the year. Never fails.


Lady Magnon's choice of Pot Plants for 2019; I don't know what they're called, but they look very good.


Not quite sure what to think about Daylilies. They perform every year, then leave a bit of a mess. Nice whilst in flower though.


Lavatera always performs well; this one is at the entry gate to Haddock's.


And, finally, Summer wouldn't be Summer without Oleanders. Lovely.

    1. I think the garden is at its best at the moment. Soon it'll become hot and arid.

  2. If you cut the daylielies down after they have flowered, leaves and all, the will grow new leaves and look quite nice and tidy.

    1. Thanks. I'll do that. Otherwise they do look a mess.

    1. A floral arrangement that would even make Barbara Cartland happy.

    1. I know nothing about flowers; I just go for colour.

  5. BEAUTIFUL !
    What a wonderful lush green flowering garden.
    It is so very hot and dry here. No rain yet but 3 small fires south of me and two big ones north towards
    Phoenix.

    1. I'm quite pleased with my little garden. It's taken a lot of mistakes over the years, but it's beginning to look good.

      Sorry to hear about your fires. We often have wildfires in the South, but so far (fingers crossed) not where we are. We are surrounded by Pines and Oaks, and it's perfect for a disaster.

    1. We were sitting there last night, and, frankly, the scent was overpowering.

  7. The Abutilon looks so pretty in that photo. (the newbies have apparently dug up my rockery to install a swimming pool!)

    1. Do you want me to go round and duff them up?

  8. I am fairly sure the unknowns are Alstroemeria !

    1. That sounds right. When she bought them, I remember calling them 'Astronomicals', so I was quite close.

  9. All I can see is ablutions and lavaterias.

    1. It's all very nice at the moment. Plenty of flowers, and the vegetables are just beginning to produce.

    1. It's a bit downhill from now on, but some of the flowers continue all year.

  12. Mmmm... jasmine. How lovely. Your lavatera is certainly much more advanced than ours. Our garden has struggled to progress with all the rain and lack of sun so far.

    1. The Jasmine is having its first really big flowering year since it was planted. The aroma (when the sun is on it) is amazing.

  13. The trouble with Lavatera is it does tend to take over. I love your pot plants. My gardener has been this morning and fitted a few more Gallardias into my flower bed and I have squeezed in a few more pansies. June is certainly coming out all over - at long last.

    1. The Lavatera was given to me by a friend from Worthing. It has thrived here, and plants have been given to lots of other friends. Its ancestors are spread far and wide.

  14. Second from the top reminds me of my Rupert lanterns.

    1. Rupert and his chums played a MAJOR part in my childhood. Chinese lanterns appeared regularly when Tiger Lily was around.

    2. I never remember questioning the mix of humans like Tiger Lily with his animal chums, but I did find Algie a bit disturbing.

    3. Me neither; just normal everyday residents of Nutwood.

  15. I find jasmine a bit overpowering. Good to see so much colour in your garden. While oleander is not popular here now, it does incredibly well in our hot summers.

    1. Oleander is almost our local 'national flower'. Further south it's the Bouganvillia. I agree with you about Jasmine, yesterday evening we had our drinks by the pool instead.

  16. Try putting the Arabic comments into Google translate. You'll be amazed at what they're about!

    1. Haha! I just did. Who'd have thunk it?

    2. Do I need to copy and paste? They all seem different lengths, so I've been wondering what they were. I'll do it later. Thanks.

    3. Household cleaning? Is that what you found?

      Delete
    4. Yes, indeed-y! A long commute for a cleaning lady, haha!

  17. Looking lovely! That's a nice corner with the timber beams and terracotta pots - rather the sort of vignette to lure in paying holidaymakers. I've not been able to figure out where you are in France. SW?

    1. Yes the SW. My village is on the cusp of Perigord, Lot, and Lot et Garonne.

    2. We're off to Languedoc next May, which is close but not really.
