What's Looking Good In September 2013

<Knicked!>

 

The fruits and berries: -

Rosa Rugosa Hips



pyracantha orange berries



pyracantha yellow berries



passionflower ripe fruit



And putting them all together, natures Autumn larder ...



Is this bounty indicative of a harsh winter ahead?

 

And some of the wild flowers still flourishing:

 

Your garden must still be looking good Shiney - some great pics.

Lovely berries 'M' and that passion fruit 'Wow' I've never actually seen one growing.

 

What a pleasure to open up this thread this afternoon,
thanks Mr Shiney and "M", a lovely Autumn display...

 

Thank you @Grannie Annie the vine is positively dripping with them this year

 

Lycianthes (formerly Solanum) rantonnetii is still blooming well....................


Tricyrtis ishiana is almost in bloom (it is in bloom, but the slugs have damaged the open flowers)....................


A took a couple of shoots from a friends Fuchsia microphylla a few weeks ago and one of the cuttings has started blooming!

 

That is amazing 'M' how long did it take to grow that big?

 

My verbena has stopped flowering but I am loving the colour of the leaves.

 

Couldn't resist a piccie of these Michaelmas Daisies in my next door neighbour's garden. That majestic vibrant purple is quite stunning.

 

A few from Sues garden:

Brugmansia (Sunset I think).......................


Thunbergia gregorii....................




Dipladenia....................


Bought as Eucomis pole evansi, but not too sure (although it is a real biggie).....................




Schizostylis.......................


Tulbaghia violacea..............


Shrimp plant....................


Nicotiana sylvestris is huge.......................


Finally, Fuchsia magellanica.....................

 

Wow, that's a handsome collection. Sue is obviously a very discerning plantsperson,
lovely stuff,
jenny

 

And from mine today;

First bloom on Tricyrtis hirta......................


Something is eating my Tricyrtis ishiana. I caught the culprit last last night - it was earwigs.............


At least it makes it easier to photograph the inside of my favourite Toadie..................


Tricyrtis "White Towers" is now opening up near perfect blooms......................


Impatiens balfourii....................


Lobelia tupa has looked fantastic this year and continues to do so.....................


Salvia "Black and Blue" looking good with Nicotiana langsdorfii....................


Salvia glutinosa is still blooming despite a major hatchet job a couple of weeks ago...............


Salvia "Wendys Wish" is looking good....................


Salvia microphylla is a real good doer (and fully hardy as a bonus)................


My Iochroma australis are still putting out a few blooms...................




Finally, Lycianthese rantonettii looks fantastic for such a young cutting.......................

 

She has a good teacher!!!!!!

Or as she puts it, I lead her astray!!
