Whats looking good in September 2012

You have some lovely flowers there! I adore sunflowers but alas mine failed this year :-( I put them in the greenhouse and it was too hot for them and they burnt!

I'll try again next year :-)

 

Here are a few pics of flowers in my garden today:

 

Nicotiana sylvestris has struggled this year, but is finally in bloom................


The leaves get huge as it starts to produce flowers.................

 

Just a few of my front yard. Looking good for the time of year!

 

With two September threads running it can be difficult to find the best one to post into.
But here goes.

Aralia elator, must be 15ft high now, has masses of flowers, but up high.

Albizzia is still flowering well.



Morning glory, Ipomoea indica, blue never seems to come out right in a photo.


A Brug from Dave's cuttings sent me last year, sorry about the holey leaves, it was my attempt to be organic during a caterpillar attack, finally gave up chasing them and zapped them with a spray.

 

Quite a lot looking good here at the moment , its like summer at last.
Anemones


The roses that were a washout in June are wonderful now, ok a bit of blackspot but who cares

Clematis 'Kaiu' bought this last year to scramble through a choisya to give it a bit of summer interest its really got going now.

Gaura

 

Gaura

Echinacea

Belamcanda Chinensis (Leopard lilies), grew these from seed none are spotty but still like them.


Heleniums

 

Helenium

Hollyhock in all different colours

 

Clematis 'Korean Beauty' grown from seed, small but very pretty flowers.

Knautia reblooming

Lobelia 'Hadspens Purple'

Lobelia Speciosa

Potentilla 'Melton Fire'

Rudbeckia 'Goldsturm' and Viburnum

 

Phytolacca, after seeing Shineys I had to grow some didn't I , still small but a couple have flowered in their first year, quite like them at this stage.

Sedum, we have a bee keeper on the allotments at the bottom of the garden, think I have nearly the whole hive here !!!!!!

Herbaceous clematis 'Tubulosa'

And lastly a lovely daylily that was riddled with gall midge earlier in the year, didn't get a single good flower but its decided to rebloom.
'Edge of Darkness'

 

I thought I recognized your phytolacca, so I went to the Azorian biodiversity website and found Phytolacca americana - 100% invasive! It fact, I pulled out a bunch of it today to put in the trash because just a little bit of the root left behind will grow. You're lucky to live in a place where it will die.

 

Simbad - I'm seriously loved up with your Belamcanda!

 

I'll remember you if it sets seed longk

 

Just gorgeous!!

That potentilla is so pretty!
