What's looking good in October 2015

It has sun until about 10am and partial shade for the rest of the day. I fed it chicken manure pellets earlier this year and it's put on some growth but no flowers. I'll try the tomato feed next spring instead, thanks Armandii.

 

It's not Choisya " Sundance " ( the yellow leaved variety ) is it Sheal ?
These can be a bit hit and miss in the flowering department. The green leaved ones usually flower their socks off.

 

Yep! I bought it a few years back to lighten up this corner. Thanks for the info Anthony, it would be nice to have flowers but I'm not too bothered as it's the foliage colour I wanted.

 

It looks gorgeous there Sheal, really brightens the corner up.

 

This is growing on the pill box, I didn't put it there

 

Self seeded Zigs, it's an Antirrhinum.

 

Good for getting rid of Rhinums then

 

Just a few quickies from around my garden this afternoon.

 

Lovely pictures Armandii and Trunky! I think Autumn is going to put on a wonderful display this year.

 

A few bits and pieces around the garden

Cobaea scandens is still going strong

Hydrangea


Iris foetidissima - their seedpods brighten the garden up very nicely

 

It seems the damp dark August delayed my Dahlias, but in October, they're going bananas alongside my Salvias and Fuchsias!

 

Nerine ostara.


Nerine alba crispa.


Cordyline Sunrise looking good in the sun.


Centaurea gymnocarpa,this is one plant, not available from seed so have to keep it going from cuttings which do not root readily.

 

Last night in the garden

Brugmansia still going strong
