What's Looking Good in September ....

Abyssinian Gladiolus in the rain -




filled yellow hollyhock -

 

Schizostylis.........Peeking out from the Amaranthus

 

Strongy - Have only just looked at this thread.

Your Sutherlandia has done really well. Mine have been left outside ever since the last frosts in spring - but, looking at yours, it has clearly been too cold for them as they are only three or four inches high. The seeds came from the RHS and were described as Sutherlandia frutescens.

 

I'm just catching up also.
Kedi the banana (musa) is above the pine picture.

 

PeterS, mine is full of bladders. I will have to see whether they have seed in them.

 

Pete, I think we have been talking all across or whatever. Probably because I made a typo and then was unclear as to what I was referring to. See here -

"Pete, brilliant shots so the banana and pine! I think our Botanical Garden had one given to them recently, we still haven't gotten there to look."

I knew which one was the banana flower and I meant the Botanical Garden was given a pine. After rereading this unclear posting, it's a wonder you didn't consider me mad and ignore me. I don't know where my mind was when I wrote such rubbish. Shall try not to do it again.

 

:D :D :D

 

Hedychium gardenarium

 

That's beautiful pete!

 

I am so envious of you northern European guys ... I just love it that I am on GC and can appreciate what you have ... thank you all for sharing it with me in my climate.

roders, your Schizostylis is to die for, you can peek at me anytime like that ... not being rude ...

... also love your Hedychium gardenarium, pete ...

all of these wondrous things I could only dream of growing ...

but I'm trying ... I know, I know ...

 

The first of the Amaryllis belladonna opened today ... last year there were none.

 

The green house may have given me a nasty shock when we got back but these put a smile on my face.

 

Hi Fiz.........Glad you made an honest man out of him :D CONGRATULATIONS.............

Cosmos still going strong......

 

And again with Verbena Bonarionsis.

 

A bit out of focus (like me) but here's a Bauhinia flower from your seed Pete, the leaves are tiny and so is the flower, barely an inch across, how has yours done?


LoL, my double white Bougie has a new flush but they are very small. You can see a little bit of pink here and there



The Albizia Summer Chocolates have grown a little since repotting and a couple have flower buds and only a foot high! They are not very chocolatey in colour yet.
