Flower of the Day for a year - a Challenge!

[roitelet]

Fairy Verbascum, grown from seed years ago and it just keeps on going.

[roitelet]

Cranesbill Geranium, Johnson’s Blue, not a very good specimen.

[Jungle Jane]

Ceanothus from a different angle,sounds like a bee hive there’s so many bees,I think more than last year or I would’ve mentioned this sound before & allium bulbs I planted in the winter next to calendula & meteor peas -

[veggiechicken]

Not sure what this is but I think it was a bulb.

[roitelet]

Gladioli sub species Byzantium.

[veggiechicken]

Thanks, roitelet. I knew someone would recognise it

[roitelet]

Oriental Poppy, flamboyant, a pity they don’t last longer

[veggiechicken]

Medlar flower.

[farendwoman]

My first sweet pea!

And a little geranium “Bill Wallis” still doing ok.

And a self sown snapdragon. Love these - forgot all about these old fashioned things, but going to go round and find all the other self sown snaps and move them to one area. Watch this space!

Haven’t noticed these in the garden before but a lovely blue colour difficult to photograph very well without getting out my camera any ideas what it is?

A lovely chive flower


And another flowering shrub that again I’ve no idea what it is but pretty so I’m sharing it despite looking like a dunce I’m sure!

Number three is a Rhodendron. Can you manage a better picture of the first one, it’s a bit difficult to see for identification.

[nickdub]

I think the first one is Paulownia tomentosa, sometimes called a Foxglove Tree, I remember seeing them in flower in Lisbon.

[Chrissyteacup]

Rhododendron- I knew I should know what it was!!
Ok another attempt otherwise will have to get out my camera but that won’t be for a couple of days!


It probably doesn’t help that there’s another tree behind it!

[roitelet]

Viburnum, snow ball tree, before the b*#/^y sawfly chew it to bits!
