    Stunning Pete, I sowed some multi coloured 4 o'clocks a couple of years ago and was disappointed as they all turned out plain.:sad:

    Likewise this year I sowed some Achillea ' Summer Berries' and so far they are a murkey white colour....so annoying...grrrr!!

        All looks great Pete. The Crinum Sis brought me back from Florida has never bloomed ... lots of nice leaves. I was just saying yesterday the Brugs will start budding now the heat has gone. My Four O'clocks did zero.

        Upsy, my multi-coloured trailing Verbena are all purple!

                    Polypodium calirhiza "Sarah Lyman" From California Napa Valley area, is dormant in dry spells. This has popped up since the rain in the first week of September.

                    Impatiens tinctoria again has resumed flowering since the rain.

                          Thank you Michael. :)

                          It's Rudbeckia Hirta 'Cappuccino' @Upsydaisy. I grew them from seed this year and they're autumn flowering.

                                Don't worry, @Upsydaisy they are all wonderful!

                                My Dahlias haven't done at all well this year & I don't think it's worth keeping them for 4th year!
