Purple June - En Juni i lila

Ops! June started out with an explosion in purple, Irises, Lilacs, Chives, Sage & Rhododendron... the list could go on. I think purple is a favorite, it goes so very well with all the shades of green. In my potager there are of course very much of the colour green, the cabbages, kales, onions and so on and it look really pretty with the violet/lilac/purple. I know in July I will say the same thing with the colour red says I with a smile.

Just nu fullkommligt exploderar allt i trädgården, irisarna har ju relativt kort blomperiod och i år är det någo alldeles exceptionellt, pang bom så var det över. Det är lite synd tycker jag eftersom att Irisen tillhör en av mina favoriter och man vill ju njuta avdom länge men så blev det inte i år.

First out in the Purple parade was actually the Syringa with the pretty and fragant flowers. I have hedges with this wonderful and hardy bush. Easy to manage and hardly ever any trubble with pests and diseases. I wonderif a could make a topiary of a Lilac Syringa vulgaris.

Syringa vulgaris, Syrén in Swedish and the common name in english Lilac.

Rhododendron I found this enormous American page with Rhododendron and Azeleas, American Rhododendron Society The American Rhododendron Society is a non-profit organization whose purpose is to encourage interest in and to disseminate information about the genus Rhododendron. Members' experience ranges from novice to expert. Society activities include public education, flower shows, seed exchanges, scientific studies, and communication through publications and local and national meetings. ARS chapters are located throughout the United States and Canada and in Denmark, Holland, Scotland, Sweden and Sikkim. Check it out! It's very informative.Rhododrendron, I really do love my Rhododrendron bushes but I don't know there names, I don't even know the name of this one, it's the most common one i Sweden. Does any one know?
