Whats looking good in September 2012

I must have planted 20 or so sunflowers of different sizes & types this year - the only one which has survived the slugs this year has just come into flower - its about 10' tall & the runner beans are using it as a climbing frame..

That is fab!!!

Old fashioned gardeners would plant runner beans beside Sunflowers for just that very reason

I scattered seeds from my GW mag free "Russian Giants" from last year and I was fortunate enough to get a plethora of sunflowers this year, but only one which was a true RG.

Now though, they are all nodding groundward and I am leaving them for the wildlife to enjoy/thrive on.

Yours look glorious!!!

 

That's a very handsome specimen Nick. Lots of seeds for the birds later.

 

Thats so pretty!!

 

Seed grown Lobelia Queen Victoria at last...............





Strangely, the Wisteria is back in bloom...............



And an unknown Clematis has made an appearance.................



Sollya heterophylla continues to bloom strongly................

 

Thanks Armandii for the tentative id!

 

Had to reduce orginal size but if you can magnify, there are 2 bees on the top r/h bloom.

 

The light was perfect yesterday for a few photos, especially against a blue sky;

Perennial Sunflower, standing at around 7-8ft tall and a mass of bright yellow flowers which are in turn attracting hundreds of hoverflies and bees ;






Brugmansia, smelling lovely and about to have 5 flowers at once;


The bark on a Snake Bark Maple I grew from seed;

 

I've seen quite a few Wisteria's round our neighbourhood with flowers on them too

 

Lovely images Bilbo. Especially the snake bark and your Brug,
thank you,
