WHAT'S LOOKING GOOD IN SEPTEMBER 2020

Some pictures of the garden today, I've give up trying to stand plants back up.




banana bit shredded but at least its still standing.

My fuschia trough

Pots at front door , one brugmansia is starting to get a head again but the other one looks like its snuffed it ( slug keep attacking it )

 

All very colourful @Perki. Nice colour on the Banana ... what exactly is under it please?

 

They're still very nice @Perki

 

Begonias??

 

Begonia santa cruz

 

Yep Begonia Santa cruz I've grown these from seed. They is also a colocasia somewhere under the Ensete.

 

I grew santa cruz last year around the base of a pot with my dicentra in the centre but yours look even better!
My dicentra isn't common.
I've had it for years..(inherited) It's similar to 'luxuriant' but small pale pink/cream bell flowers and grey foliage.
When it's in flower again next year I'll post it up for identification.

 

I've just found a bit of my dicentra still in flower.
Anyone that can name this one gets a grateful gold star from JR because I've never seen the exact one at any nursery.

 

Hi JR, could it be the Dicentra nevadensis?

Dicentra - Wikipedia

 

Well done Victoria!
I had looked on Google and couldn't see it lol.
Most Gardeners are drawn to the red and larger 'sailers britches' bleeding heart variety.
But the nevadensis is my favourite due to the closer foliage and longer lasting flowering time.

 

Ipomoea indica.


Ficus religiosa.

Agave montana

Fuchsia "thalia"

Crinum powellii

 

I still haven't got my Crinum to bloom after Sis brought it back from Florida seven years ago .. but I have read it can take that long. All of yours looks better than mine @pete ... send me some rain please, watering isn't cutting the cake!

 

It usually flowers a lot earlier but the dry summer delayed it till now.
If its wet it tends to get slaughtered by snails, you cant win with it really.

 

A mystery. It is from the Southern States. Lives for a hundred years unattended by abandoned shacks.. Maybe we molly coddle things too much. Anne couldn't remember what colour it was, maybe white. I love your colour.

 

Your ipomoea indica is a very intense blue Pete think I'll grow some next year. Do your Criniums live outside permanently ? I've got one in a pot thinking of planting it out into the garden .
