The Delargo Gardens - June

 Here we are me dear back in the garden to see what June had to offer us. Now then me dear I am as you know often a bit late with my post but this month is so late that it is almost time to start sorting out the July post. So no more waffle from me let's head off for a whirlwind tour of the Delargo Towers Garden.

Clematis “General Sikorski” was a joy all month.

Jon's pride and joy the RHS. Plant of the Year 2023: Agapanthus Black Jack.

Clematis “Comtesse de Bouchaud” struggled last year but has flourished this year.

The bees just love the Agastache as do we.

New this year and bought as dry roots so we are very pleased that it gave us a few blooms - Hemerocallis 'Fragrant Returns'.

No garden should be without Herbaceous Geraniums. They have a knack of pulling a border together.

The delightful and delightfully named Brodiaea laxa “Queen Fabiola”

Our new Hemerocallis  has a long way to catch up with the stunning Hemerocallis 'Crimson Pirate'

Our Begonias are now in full swing and provide a blast of colour in a shaded garden in place of the normal sun loving Summer bedding.

The roses started to flower in may and this month was their glorious last fling.

There tiz then me lovely. lets climb up into the Land Rover and whizz through the rest of the estate.

The incredibly tall and impossible to photograph Thalictrum 'Elin' in flower and it gives me great joy.

The salvias are about to kick of proper. With last years and this years additions to the collection we now have a fab mix of colours and forms which will be highlighted in detail next month

We are almost at the end of our tour but we have time for a sneak preview of the Fuchsia Fest - Edie Lester.

and there is just enough time for an up time for an update on the Taro. It came through the Winter (unprotected) fine enough but struggled with the cold Spring but is trying to catch up now.

Donny is very annoyed that I am so late with this post and is sulking up in the top field. I have told him that I will backdate it so that we will not lose continuity but he says that is cheating.

I promise to be on time for July, which should be a bumper packed edition but till then it's -

Ttfn. from Donny

and

Ttfn. from me.
