What's Looking Good In August 2023

Lovely to see them side by side, such a colour combination ... You were quick off the mark to capture them @Victoria. They look very striking together

 

My favourite plant, Echinops Ritro

 

Couple of Dahlias, variety unknown

 

Agapanthus Black jack to the right , picked it up by chance when Chelsea was on before prices went daft . I am quite fond of my new sky blue salvia in the foreground the name escapes me but will find out if anyone interested

Dahlia Urchin

Petunias from seed

I am trailing Mina lobata in this trough this year , I quite like it in there

Brugmansia Maya

 

Kniphofia Timothy and salvia smouldering torches



Grape Lakemont which is supposed to be seedless but it seems to have a couple of pips in do I need to wait for them to mature more ? the grapes feel right

And I finished my pergola today and moved some of the pots back

 

Rosa, Fragrant Antique

 

A few from yesterday.

Picked this week's Pears.

 

Nice and colourful Upsy, and I do love pears.

 

@Perki ,your Lakemont grapes are more advanced than mine.
I did read that seedless grapes can sometimes form a few seeds.

 

Love your pergola ... and the grapes would do nicely there ... or do you have something else in mind?

 

My little Harebell which I thought I had lost ,
so very precious to me ,
Jenny namaste

 

I am going with Wisteria Multijuga a clematis and a couple of climbing/rambling roses . Ordered the wisteria last night 2-4week wait

 

So lovely to see your Harebell @Jenny namaste. They used to grow wild on the hills around here but I haven't seen them for years. Maybe I'll try to get one for my garden.

Some from here ...

Dwarf Anemone hupehensis :-

Some Lewisias ... I got them in Home Bargains garden centre a while ago :-

My white Parahebe still has flowers but my mauve one has died, there's no sign of it this year ...



Some small Violas :-

 

Lovely Michael, I particularly like the Lewisias they're so pretty.

 

I am jealous Michael of the Lewisia, Indigofera and Iresine herbstii.
