What's Looking Good In September 2013

Stop raising the bar then!!!!!

 

I'm finding the difficult part to be gorowing plants good enough to photograph!

We had plenty up to 6 weeks ago, but I need to source plants that flower in this season.

Our Dahlias are good ... Agapanthus have gone over, as have all the herbaceous.

Jungle/Exotic looks good - encroaching nicely on the paths

 

Pay attention - TRICYRTIS!!!!!

 

Could be, but I think its more that I have a "gap" that I need to selectively plant against. Reminds me of the "Hungry gap" in spring when we have little in the way of fresh veg - all Winter veg done, new season not year got to harvest time".

I wish people wouldn't shout when I am asleep

Ah, OK, Toad Lilies .. I have got some of them, by the pond. I need big drifts of things in the large beds though ... and either in Red or Blue / White please

 

Two possible contenders;

Taipei Silk is tough as old boots, very floriferous, strikingly blue as the flowers emerge and an early bloomer that goes on for a long time.


Taiwan Adbane spread rapidly to form a good clump, fully hardy and fairly early too.............

 

No berries or 'owt, just a look down the throat of a Stephanotis bloom..................

 

Yesterday morning, I discovered a spider who has chosen to go for the "Fennel" design in home furnishings this season

(who knew they were so particular? )




And one of my late season raspberries (which hints at having a lodger)

 

Armandii,

I have a little problem......your pictures are absolutely wonderful, but I can't see your vertical ones fully on my screen, I have a quarter missing and it's such a shame!
