The Photographic Gardening Diary - Plant Compositions in May





Convallaria majalis growing under a roof of large green and white hosta leaves 



Meconopsis cambrica, the Welsh poppy that I introduced to our garden with seeds from the seed distribution scheme of the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS), UK, a long time ago. In early spring the RHS sends seeds to their members, if they wish, and often of very interesting varieties. Here the fine yellow and orange poppies have found their place among azaleas; wild strawberries have joined them.





Geranium himalayense "Gravetye" under the  shrub Choisya "Aztec Pearl" with blue bells in the background




The very interesting fern Athyrium nipponicum var. metallicum next to the large green leaves of Phlomis russeliana (not yet in flower) and Carex pendulum in the back.





Meconopsis cambrica growing through a blue greyish hosta



A rare filled version of Salomon's Seal (Polygonatum odoratum "Flore Pleno") with Acer palmatum dissectum
