What's looking good in September?

I was so chuffed yesterday when I saw my new Clematis Westerplatte, had flowered :D :D

 

A beautiful flower Marge but you must have painted the leaves, :D they can't be that green now, mine are going off already. :(

 

Hornbeam just seen your piccies, I think they are all on my wish list, I just wish my wish list would get shorter and not longer

 

marge, your clematis is georgous, I do believe the leaves a that colour because mine are the same, looks like spring again.

 

Beautiful Clematis Marge!
Fancy - I wish it was spring again. I hate winter! What do they call that "disease"... SAD I think or something. Well, its just how I feel throughout the winter months so the name is pretty much spot on!
Nevertheless, with pics like Marge's to look at maybe this winter will be better than most :D
Back to the now I would think!
Cheers!

LOL! I thought the same when they started growing like that! Only planted it back in July! Guernsey Cream has flowered today too - will get a pic soon I know what you mean about winter - but Spring'll be here again before we know it!!

 

Great colour combination marge, and a good few buds to come yet, I see.

This is an Oncidium, not sure what one though.

 

Marge, just been looking at your Clematis Westerplatte pic again - the colours are truly fantastic and have come out so well on the pic!! Such a beautiful colour of pink! And the leaves are so young and healthy too! As Strongy says - maybe painted or at least 'fiddled' with in your software program? :D

Pete - great Oncidium! The only one I am familiar with is O. sphacelatum but that one seems to have darker markings than the one you have.

Kind regards
Roy

 

Thats gorgeous Pete - I dont know it but it sure is purdy :D

 

I can honestly say Roy, that the only thing I did with that pic was resize in Photoshop!

 

It'll be the commonest one Roy, it was one of those reduced bedraggled out of flower orchids that you find in garden centres.
Never pay the full price. :D

 

Hi, Pete!
Is that an achimenes lurking underneath??

 

yes it is dendy

 

What a great oncidium, Pete! I must look out for one among the "chuck outs" in the local DIY store

 

ROY, IN ORDER TO BRIGHTEN up your winter blues why dont you sort out some winter hanging baskets. not everything is doom and gloom in winter.
