What's looking good in October

Thanks Pal for the info. Yes Roders, no 4 looks like a weed to me too.

Hi Waco - nice to see you (if seeing is the right word :D). The Aster certainly looks like A. fricatii, but mine are quite blue. If the pink colour is correct it might not be. Are you sowing any seeds this year? - you used to do loads!

Nice Fuschias Nathan and JJordie. Now is a good time to take cuttings of tender perennials. I have just started.

 

Getting in with the Nerines.....

 

Fantastic Colour Roders, Beautifull Plant. I must admit ive never heard of it im a rubbish gardener sometimes :D

 

YOU ARE NOT A RUBBISH GARDENER :luv:

We are all learning.

 

Fantastic display Roders,:thumb: I only have about 10 stems but they follow on from the neighbouring Agapanthus.

 

:wuvu::wuvu::wuvu:

 

I noticed in our local garden centre they are £2.50 per bulb......they multiply like mad though and love dry conditions..........Well these have done OK and it's been wet lol.

 

Well my dahlisa are already frosted and finished. I have been very lazy with the garden this year, not least because of the weather, BUT the garden has been a continual succession of colour. all the damp shade plants have enjoyed the cool wet summer and paid me back. Just hope I can remember how to post the pictures!

 

Stunning Nerines, roders.

Waco, it's so lovely to have you back with us, my Diminutive One. :luv: It's been so long, let's see more photos.

A first for me ... the rose-coloured Canna with a second bloom on a stem enjoying our rain the other day ....



and the beautiful Morning Glory always giving a show ....

 

Love the Trycirtis formosanaWaco great picture, do they seed?
Nice Canna LoL lovely colour.

 

don't know, I think they just clump up, but they have loved the damp summer.

Oh and Roders, Love the nerines - they are another "Clumper" my neigbour has just dug a load of them out and I dread to think what she has done with them, she has also cut the most fantastic wisteria down that must be at least 100 years old. All these TPO's we have on damned sycamores but she is alowed to cut a wisteria down of that age!!!

AND off topic I know, but it reminds me of all the health and safety issues, you can't cut a sycamore down that self seeds in the hundreds. Health and safety have all these rules and regulateions, but non about piano stools and I nearly broke my neck today falling off one with wankey leggs!!!

Oh this is all too much for me, and its way past G& T time, if I can do it I must try to post my cimicifugia.

How many years does it take to get a show like that? I planted a packet of 3 last year all I got was one miserable looking specimen! I also planted a packet of Marigolds for next year, they have been magnificent was going to take a photo but had a fence erected bloke trod on em....Ah well my sweet peas are well up from seeds that dropped of this years flowering plants, you can win some times !
