June is definitely "bustin' out all over" in all your lovely gardens.
A few bits and pieces from my patch:
Iris sibirica. Amazing close up... The Meconopsis is only 9" tall this year. Don't know why... Rosa moyesii 'Geranium' is the first rose flowering here: I have Anemone 'Wild Swan' too. Love it! I think this is Spiraea vanhouttei: A lovely lilac. Pity the flowers don't last longer... Syringa x josiflexa 'Bellicent'. Saxifraga 'Southside Seedling' hasn't so many flowers this year, but I find them fascinating. And this is Saxifraga 'Monarch', I think. They're happy in shade so that suits me fine. Finally, I was admiring the red campion (Silene dioica) which I allow in my garden because it's gorgeous. I noticed the stamens... I think once the flower is fertilised, the stamens go wiggly...
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
Those saxifrages are stunning Liri. It's not always the big,showy blooms that are the best Wiggly stamens Lovelylittle Dianthus AuntyR. Mine are only just starting to open. I love them and want to get more, but there are so many, and I can never make up my mind!
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Such lovely photos on here and your Hostas look so healthy Stewyfizz, your tomatoes are so well organized too, let us know which produces the most fruit - y tomatoes are in pots this year
Thanks! Those Hostas were one would you believe. Split it a couple of years ago and they've gone ballistic. There is a visual difference with the toms already. The ones in pots have leaves that are a deeper green. What difference that will make i dont know!
Gardening. The cause of, and solution to, all of my problems.
Thanks @Victoria Sponge Looking back through the pictures I can't see some of the pictures I put on my self . I don't know if it my computer but I can only see 3 i am sure I put more on. I noticed you been busy in your garden with the pond / bridge, its coming along really well. How are your eremurus this year? they are ready to flower soon.

Hi Joyce...your Honeysuckle looks amazing, wish mine ( evergreen henryi ) produced flowers like that.
Also, your other flowers look amazing too, especially that Deutzia
