What's looking good in September 2015

Hi Sheal,

They look like annual Rudbeckia to me. Are the stems/leaves a bit bristly/hairy?

 

Hi Mowgley,

My Bolivianas still haven't flowered :(

Is that an Eccremocarpus in the small pic ? It looks like the ones I used to have but they were red.

 

Yes they are @Anthony Rogers

 

Ipomeaea Lobata has come into flower - at least thats what I think it is - I dont remember planting it & its been quietly taking over the pile of pots waiting for cleaning :

--
I expect I can leave it there to set seed... there are many other pots to clean..

 

Hi Nick,
Yeah it is. It's also known as Mina Lobata and the common name is Spanish Flag.

 

Yes the stems and leaves are bristly Anthony, thanks.

 

Vallota Speciosa ( Scarborough Lily )

 

That's pretty Anthony.

 

Hi Sheal,
Thanks. It's one of my favourite houseplants ( it's a tropical bulb ).
I've got a pot full of bulbs but it only ever throws up 1 flower stem.
I gave some to Longk as it needed splitting so I hope he's got flowers as well.
If you want one let me know in the Spring and I'll send you some.

PS... It is a nice plant all year round as it's evergreen.

 

Strange that it only puts up one flower stem. Thanks for the offer but I've never been able to keep flowering indoor plants alive, for some reason they just keel over!

 

Is it an IOM thing do you think ?

 

Shiney, you're a braver man than me
