What's looking good in September?

my mexican whats it has started to flower again. its actually loaded with flowers.

 

What's your Mexican what's it, Fancy?

 

A couple of daturas having their second flush of flowers

 

how lovely walnut very unusual

 

lofl mexican orange blossom.

 

Mines doing the same Fancy

 

The Dats look really good Rich and Walnut

 

This is I believe cereus peruvianus, bought the plant years ago, took some cuttings, its been in the same 10in pot for years, but every year I get a sucsession of large white flowers.


Its night blooming, but the flowers last into the next morning

 

Wow,most unusual Pete.

 

love the flowers PETE BUT not the cactus.

 

Is it the choisya aztec pearl, Fancy? I think I've heard it called mexican orange blossom? If so - mine's covered in flowers too- lovely!!

 

All Choysias I've come across are subject to second flushes. I also like the straight C.ternata and the habit of the 'Aztec Pearl', but I must admit to hating the 'Sundance'colour.

Pete, many years ago I used to grow a ('scuse pronunciation and spelling)'Keng Hua'. An epiphytic cactus from S.E. Asia. It flowered nightly as it is moth pollinated, and the flowers were dead by morning. It was given as a cutting by an old friend from Singapore to my mother (who liked the idea but not the fact of it). Apparently, in Malaya as was, when the Keng Hua flowered you had your friends round for a party to enjoy the good luck and fragrance of it (and the guests one assumes).
Unfortunayely my wife preferred the disposal of same and it only flowered once before being banished to our (then) roof garden to die in the frost.

Long story Pete but is this by any chance a relative? Looks way better in habit but the flower is a ringer.

 

I have more podophyllums - infact over run with them, they are popping up all over, so jazid don't worry I can send some more if seeds don't happen, I will try to post the fruit too.

I would have had more bergonia seedlings, I potted loads up and left them in a sheltered position near the stable wall, unfortunately very rain washed over the drain pipe and flattened most of them, but I have two good specimines and who knows what else may tunr out OK.
