What's Looking Good In October 2020

Thanks Vicky, it's one of the Delphiniums that I grew from seed sent to me from another forum member a couple of years ago. It flowered in spring and then I cut it right back and ......well it's huge again now. I have a couple more too in slightly different shades that are in full bloom again now too.

 

Thanks Upsy, I see that now. I just read they don't like hot summers. I am not very good with bedding plants as most don't survive her for five minutes. Salvias do like our constant heat, I have a few I have had for about 12 years (below), need to move them actually now we are re-arranging the garden. The new one was dripping with water and I also just read they drop if they are over watered.

 

Oops should learn to read properly.... Vicky! Pic 3...Dahlias and Hardy Fuschia.
Pic 7....Annual Salvia...Blaze of Fire, half hardy. First year I've grown it...and it's flowered non stop for months, I keep cutting it back and up it pops!! A definite for next year..I'll sow loads!!

 

That's great @shiney but why the height difference?

I posted this pic of the Fangipani in full flower in early September, it still has flowers coming now!

 

@strongylodon That is lovely. I have been fancying one for ages now. Small plants are expensive (well the postage is). Seeds are reasonable but do they germinate quickly and grow at a reasonable speed? I am an impatient person when it comes to flora.

 

@Victoria, have you seen any growing outside where you are? I just wondered what the northern most limit is.
