What's Looking Good In August 2013

I've got no idea. I bought the canes last year at a bootsale for £1 each. The are the autumn fruiting ones but what variety I have no idea.

 

Well thought I was heading for my first 8ft inula but think its only around 7ft , damn maybe next year, this seeds everywhere!!!! and can be a pain if not dug up while its young, but I do love it as do the bees etc,found one I'd potted up in the greenhouse for my niece in a 3inch pot with leaves 4ft long!!!! heaven knows how it was still alive, potted on now
Inula Racemosa

 

Super Simbad, hoping the 1 you sent me will be doing it's stuff next year, certainly it's leaves are humongous and it seems quite happy here.

 

Not normally in the first year JWK but definitely the second, its one of those plants you move and end up with it in both places, huge taproot.
Glad yours is doing well silu
I'll save you some seed JWK, I've just round upped loads of seedlings of it to, a couple of weeks ago you could have had a plant or 2 , I have just been collecting seed from the campanula you liked to so I'll wait and send when the seed on this is ripe which won't be for a while yet.

 

That rose is a lovely colour Armandii...

Still got a few coming along.

Lobelia "Compliment Scarlet"...................


Gaura lindheimeri is a prolific summer long bloomer......................


A very late Galtonia candicans.........................




A couple of climbers;
Eccromocarpus scaber is another that has a long blooming season....................


Bomarea hirtella is loving it outdoors this year. Good job too as I'm planting it out next spring.................


Self seeded Nicotiana langsdorfii...................


Now the Tricyrtis;
T.formosana "Blue Wonder" (not sure where it got that name!).....................


T.formosana "Purple Beauty".....................


"Tojen" has bowled me over so here's another photo of it.....................


First flower on "White Towers" - going to love this one too!

 

Thanks!

The Tricyrtis are great subjects for the camera!

 

My N. sylvestris are a good 7' tall now!!

 

Wish that mine was! My N.glauca is about eight foot tall, but then it is a large shrub/small tree when mature..........................

 

I find the flower no N. glauca too small to enjoy - sorry! N. langsdorfii is as narrow-bore as I will go

 

Thee's a joyless beggar at times!!!!
