Six on Saturday. Here Comes Summer!

I missed an English outflow this year as we went to France in March and only amount back last calendar week . The wild flowers were wonderful , let in many different orchid , but I did miss walk in my preferred bluebell woods . But you ca n’t be in two places at the same prison term . A fact that is obvious to everyone , but has just really come home to me .

Roses have been in bloom in south west France for weeks and I have bought four for my French garden . I also got to seeAnnette ’s beautiful garden and enjoy her fabulous pink wine collection as she live nearby . I was astonished to come home and ascertain rose wine blooming in May here . My lovelyRosa‘Drinkstone Apricot ’ which was born in a previous garden has already finished .

I am going to feature just one climb up today . I adore single roses and the bright redRosa‘Scharlachglut ’ look wonderful against the sinister shed . This rose is a shrub rose but it seems to desire to climb up if it has support . Mine has already reach the shed roof in just one year . Later , it has the most beautiful enceinte , urn - shape , red hip which look good into winter .

Rosa‘Scharlachglut’

I am tempted to feature just blush wine here as I know them so much , but there are other sweetheart to croon over . I buy the early summer- bloomingMagnolia sieboldiibecause I reckon it would be dauntless than the gloriousMagnolia wilsoniithat I have loved and lose . I thought it would have similar virginal white flowers with a wonderful fragrance . It is lovely , but the large cup- determine flowers are cream rather than snowy . The bud are tinged with pink . It is fragrant , but I do n’t much like the perfume . It has rather untidy stamen which are not as attractive as the lovely deep red ones you witness onMagnolia wilsonii . This is very thankless of me as it is a lovely tree diagram , I ’m not quite sure how long I will keep it though , as in a low garden , I have to really jazz everything and not wish flora were more like something else .

By the pool I have a beautiful assortment of the native flagIris pseudocorus‘Berlin Tiger ’ . It has sensationalistic bloom striped with brown . This is a plant that I first saw several class ago and I have been looking for it since . I love dark-brown flowers and the intricate veining of this is very pretty . It has grown chop-chop and will plausibly end up too trespassing for the margins of my little pond .

I have never had any success with candelabra primulas but this class , two have come up back in a dampish patch and increased in size . The orange one is , I remember , Primula bulleyanaand the pink is perhapsPrimulabeesiana . Please severalize me if I am awry . Because I have never been able to grow them I have never sorted out their names .

Rosa‘Scharlachglut’

Still on the primrose theme , I might have escape natural spring in my garden , but I have a of late - blossom primula to revel . Primula‘Francesca ’ always flower in recent fountain and early summer and I think she is a show stopper . I love the umbels of frilly apple- fleeceable flower with yellow eyes .

June is peony meter but one of my favourites starts blooming in May and carries on for ages . Paeonia‘Coral Charm ’ has lots of fully double deep coral flower which become pallid peach and finally bat , as they mature . It lights up the border .

I ’m going to count all the primulas as one item for this post so that I can have my Eysenck Personality Inventory as number six . orchid cactus are a pain in the neck to develop as they are not hardy and they produce long and long legs and arms and so they get in the way , fall over and take up a mickle of elbow room . I bought a coat and lid stand and hang up mine on it . This work well .

Magnolia sieboldii

I have a yellow and a red one in blossom at the second . The red one looks as if it has been spatter with hotshot dust . I gave an epiphyllum to a friend years ago and she say it has just grown bigger and big and never bloom . The secret is to keep them dry in wintertime and to commence tearing and feed in them in March . The flowers do n’t last for long but they are very alien .

So there we are , the most charming metre of the whole year and such an abundance of delights to prefer from . Do bolt down over to Jim atGarden Ruminationswho hosts this theme , Six on Saturday . He and all the other SoS partisan have lots of beauties for us to enjoy .
