What’s looking good in August 2019

I don’t normally bother with hanging baskets but wanted to try growing Rodochiton

 

The wasps on the Angelica Gigas , they are back again today

Kniphofia Timothy

Probably my favourite dahlia - David Howard

Veronicastrum Diane and Monarda Scorpion , acontium stainless steel and helenium waltraut in the background.

Things have got a lean on them on the main straight border , ran out of plant supports.
Helenium Sahin early foreground

 

Very nice Perki .......I divided my lilac Squirrel last autumn so a couple of nice clumps now. Like the combination with Lucifer....stunning together.
We share the agastache/helenium combo too

 

Thanks I may think about dividing the sanguisorba LS later on, you can take credit why I've got one I saw one a couple of years ago on one of your pic.

Unfortunately the Lucifer has to go, its a nice health big plant but its to healthy it smothering all the plants around it, its as tall as me so nearly 6ft . I cant even see my choyisa goldfingers. I have a geum TTangrie next to the Lilac Squirrel which is sending up new flowers . That border is on my re do list, the veronica are to tall / fell over , they is a group of hemerocallis Stella which rarely flower along with my other day lily plus other plants to move on or plant else where.
You cant go wrong with heleniums and agastache together

 

Wish you had smelly vision

 

Agree with you Perki about crocosmia
I control Lucifer by regularly dividing it. Couldn’t be without it though so basically have strategic clumps around the garden. It is a bit of a thug but folks always want it so I give away lots of it.
I like red persicaria with heleniums too ...S. Amistad and S. Uliginosa go well too

 

Made a daisy chain and drew faces on my poppy heads for a photo competition themed "Childhood Memories". No little people here today so I got buddha to hold the daisy chain It's that time of year!!! Silly Season

 

Gives us a clue then - what is it?

Yours looks rather like Watsonia paillansii (which isn't to say that it is) which is an evergreen late spring/early summer bloomer. Mine is in a pot also and only gets the protection of a warmer spot next to the house over the winter.

Echeveria setosa 'Oliver' is a recent introduction and I really recommend it. The flowers are larger than the standard E.setosa and it is an all round better looking plant..........

Hiya Pushkin, I’m growing colocasia esculente here too....much like yours. First year and
I’m not sure where and how to plant it. Any ideas? I think it will survive outside over winter down here so expecting a giant next year!
Colocasia Black Coral too but this will be easier to place I think

Jap painted fern...Ursula’s Red is a wonderful plant. Hope the photo does it justice

 

I thought of you when I posted it, didn't think anyone else would be interested.

Bukiniczia cabulica.
