What's looking good in September?

Hibiscus - hardy type

 

I don't have anything that looks good but a few things look edible


numex twilight


gardeners delight


mini corgettes

 

Hi Hornbeam, not much going on in my garden at the moment but these 2 are just coming into flower

Schizostylus Major
Crocosmia Emily McKenzie

 

Apart from the annual bedding which is not at it's best now these two are looking good.
Trachelospermum Jaminiodes

Begonia Grandis (Evansiana)

 

Hi Strony, My begonia Evansiana do not look like that - yet but have two good specimines doing very well Thanks

Mine doesn't either, Waco, but its growing fast.
Got four good plants from the seedlings you sent me strongy

 

Pete and Waco, I wondered how yours were doing, they should grow much bigger next year, this one was only planted 15 months ago.

 

Has it been outside all the winter?

 

Yes all of them, this one and seedlings and ones in pots, all outside with no damage at all, they die down as any tuberous begonia does and normally come up again in may and them grow quickly.

 

I have some nice Hydrangea grandiflora but unfortnately my flipping photobucket won't let me share them. I've done something stupid I assume (again). First early apples super delicious this year! Also Aster divaricatus looking good.

 

Oh, and Waco - all of your Podophyllum seedlings pegged it am sorry to report :( , but four more seem to have emerged from seed and are struggling manfully to approx 4" high

 

My schizostylus aren't even in bud yet.

The single and double whites daturas are flowering with gay abandon now, the single plants have reached 5 feet.

 

Our Mexican Orange Blossom 'Choisya ternata' is flowering for the second time this year....the perfume of that combined with the lemon tree blossom is knocking us out ......lovely way to be knocked out though !



Can you all smell it ! :D M-L

 

That looks beautiful! I have a tiny one of these which I rescued when my daughter moved, it was in a pot and she had forgotten about it, so it was very sad... now has several shoots so perhaps next year I will get some flowers- I didn't know it was perfumed!
Mine has very yellow leaves- is this lack of health or another variety?
Waco, if you see this, what should i do with podophyllum seedlings over winter? They can go in the greenhouse if necessary.

 

Liz, Yellow leaves could mean it's the Sundance variety....

Here ours grows like fury and I cut it back twice a year....it's about 5' high and the same across at the moment! M-L
