May is when my garden really starts gowing and blooming and this year thanks to all the Forget me nots I have a full border. I seem to have a garden full of mauve, yellow and purple flowers. Not a white or red bloom to be seen. The Wallflower ‘Bowles Mauve’, Aquileja and Geranium ‘Bill Wallis ‘are all favourites of mine. They usually comeback every year.
I am so so proud of my Hosta – Sum and Substance this year – not a slug nibble in sight. Growing it in a pot really does help.
The flowers on my Epimediums are just about finishing. They are so beautiful and delicate.
In the front garden the clematis montana and the rosemary are going great guns. The Rosemary has been flowering since December. It badly needs a haircut, but I haven’t the heart to to cut those blooms off.
No roses to show off as these are really behind this year.
