Whats looking good in November 2011

The roses just keep going this year

 

Lovely Pixie

 

Simbad. No, like many Salvias, leucantha is not hardy. Its a lovely one - it looks and feels like velvet. Christopher Lloyd said in one of his books that this was the Salvia that he most drooled over. Unfortunately, its not warm enough for it to even set seed in this country, though the plant itself will take a few degrees of frost.

 

I know what he means Peter, I keep coming back for a look and I'm drooling too:D, stunning........

 

My Fatsia japonica has burst into flower.

 

Lovely!

 

Brugmansia is still going strong - now inside the house. Fills the house with a wonderful fragrance in the evening.


I had to show you this as well. I took the Brugmansia cutting, front left, on 19 September. In less than two months, it has rooted and is already growing a tiny flower pod, which you can just see. The cutting behind, which was taken earlier in September, already has a quite well developed flower pod.

 

Very pretty.

 

That Salvia leucantha is outstanding!

Passiflora antioquensis was still blooming up until last weekend in Sues garden......

 

I recognise that Passiflora, nice to see you on here:WINK1:, look forward to seeing more pictures of your exotics to brighten the winter months

 

Wondered when you would twig!

I'll be in touch January with a few spare plants hopefully.

 

It was the passiflora and your bat plant avatar that did it:D.
Oooo roll on January :D,what new things are you growing now then longk? I've got so many seeds on order for spring , also 12 packets of daylily seeds on the way from the American Hemerocallis Society, some really new crosses of plants not available here, can't wait to see what they turn out like :happydance:.
