What's Looking Good In August 2020

Clerodendrum bungei Pink Diamond.

 

Still some lovely colour there....

 

It may not look like much, but I'm very pleased with my front garden - around the path. This is the 2nd year that it's been a garden as such (previously parking).

The white trailer to the right of the path was planted last year - and must have self seeded this year - you know I can't remember what it's called? Any one know?

 

The white trailer looks like Allysum

 

Allysum - yes that's it, I remember now. I kept on thinking Allium... Thanks very much Cordy

 

A rather nice Lacecap Hydrangea in my son's garden at Aigburth
I brought a few cuttings home

 

Blackberries have finished in the early patches, elderberries almost finished everywhere,and now the fungi season has started and it's still August.

 

Very sad and battered looking + today's grey weather doesn't enhance my pics either!!

As I have now given Donna ( a much loved pond statue from my parents garden) a new home here with us I gave her a flower to hold to mark my Dad's birthday today, it would've been his 95th.

 

Upsy, what are the pretty yellow flowers with strappy leaves please?

 

@Victoria that is a type of crocosmia I think
@Upsydaisy what is the purpley one please - a chrysanth or an aster

 

Sorry been out all afternoon.

Vicky as Caroline said , not sure of it's proper name, it's a yellow Crocosmia .

Yes ,@CarolineL it's an Aster called Blue Ribbon.

 

What looking 'ODD' in August, Hosta Purple Heart always flowers in late summer when the others have finished, this is the first one but at the same time some Nerines have shot up extra early and about to flower!
