What's looking good in September 2017

Garden been full of butterfly's -bee's the past couple of weeks, keep having to duck for overzealous BF's in their pursuit of necter and rescue them from the spiders in the greenhouse. Some BF's on the Eupatorium - Buddelia, I seen mainly red admirals - peacocks and the odd specked wood? got loads of cabbage white caterpillars scoffing my nasturtiums as well.

 

The only thing that looks good..

 

This is part of one of me banks, with Hardy Geranium Rozanne and California poppies cascading down Not the best shot as its only on me phone so couldn't get a wider angle and please excuse the stem at the front of the photo i woz multitasking ie; deadheading and taking a piccy duh must remember to put spent flowers down before attempting any photoshoots next time

 

@wiseowl Sir can i nob yr apples- they look scrummy

 

Salvia Amistad seems to have taken over with it's second flush.


Canna Tropicanna Black.


Nemesia Banana Swirl.


Cordylines Torbay Dazzler and Sunrise

 

This should be in a What's Looking Odd ' in September!!

Hosta Purple Heart is still in flower (it is always late) as the first Nerine Codora has come out!
They are covered in blackfly but as there are a few lacewings about I have left them .

 

I may be able to beat that - I'll "go public" next week when I'm certain but if I am correct it will be really odd for September!

Today I'm over the moon to show off Swainsona formosa............

@longk, we wait in anticipation!!!!!!

 

Well, it is a strictly spring blooming reasonably hardy fairly exotic plant that pops a flower up from a bulb like organ. It bloomed in the spring and then the foliage came as it should. Now it should be dying back for the winter but I'm 90% certain that new flower buds have started emerging! Deffo puzzling

 

Free sunflower that has popped up. I am not really a fan of sunflowers but this one is quite pretty and popular with the Bees

Pretty white Daisy like flowers in my new bed in the front garden - no name on pot or tag so don't know what it is.

 

@luciusmaximus Very pretty and naturally i love the news that the Bees are enjoying it - I think your lovely Daisy plant could be a Shasta Daisy- ive added a link so you can view the varieties
