Whats Looking Good in October 2019

still a few bits and bobs worthy of a showing:
Salvia Patens Cambridge Blue


Buff Beauty

never seen it this heavily laden before

possibly Dublin Bay @wiseowl Woo's best advice


Cranesbill "Anne Folkhard "

Salvia greggii Amethyst lips and Alstromeria "Rock and Roll" - been in flower since July and will go on until Jack Frost arrives.
Jenny namaste

 

Getting a bit tatty and wind battered now but here are a few pics taken this morning.

 

Grevillea victoriae growing outside at National Botanic Garden of Wales. Apparently has survived -10 C winter without problems, despite clay soil and lots of rain (Wales). Currently being crowded by lots of self-seeded dierama.


One of my Nerines. I lost the label in my house move...

 

Aconitum


Dahlia "Poeme"


Impatiens flanaganae


Allium callimischon haemostictum

 

A couple that are blooming in their first year from seed first;

Today I have the second Petunia Pirouette open and another Morning Glory, this time Carnevale di Venezia ...

 

Beautiful @Victoria .

 

Hi @Victoria , is that Ipomea really that blue in real life. I know some colours are hard to photograph. That is a stunning colour.

 

Yes @KFF, it is. To be honest, I find it a bit peculiar. The two pictures were taken shortly apart, the Petunia is in the shade, the Morning Glory in morning sun. Here is the packet pic from Premier Seeds ...



PS Just editing this to put another further away pic ... still glowy!

 

We wondered why an Agapanthus wasn't flowering with the others about a month ago. Reason was … its a Nerine.

Pic taken yesterday as the evening was drawing in

 

My Liriopes have been better than ever this year. Some are in the ground and there's one in a big tub, all flowering nicely ...







October garden view ...



Cones on Cryptomeria japonica elegans ...



Soleirolia soleirolii ...

Quote: "Hanging baskets are hanging on". They look stunning @shiney. I'll look forward to seeing those.
