Whats Looking Good September

Lithops.


Need smellie vision for this one, Cestrum nocturnum, really powerful scent in the evening and overnight, lingers all day in doors.

 

I got a rooted cutting of this in January but it struggled in the high heat, now settling in. I have it near the trellises out front (near the rocking chair. Looking forward to it blooming.

 

Nerines are up and more buds than ever before.


Tradescantia, taken many frosts over the 6 or 7 years it has been in the ground.


Hosta Purple Heart almost hidden by an Acer but it still has a few flowers.

 

My datura has finally flowered. Grown from seed this spring it is one of 7 seeds to do anything. I blame the peat free compost. It smells wonderful.

 

Weigela and Rose 'Francine Austin' ...



Back of Anemone 'Elfin Swan' showing the colour ...



Fuchsia 'Lena' ...



Eucomis with developing fruits ...



Berries of Rhipsalis campos-portoana ...





Liriope ...





A shrub I can't remember the name of ...



Impatiens niamniamensis ...





Osteospermum ...

 

nice collection. some really wierd ones

 

@Michael Hewett that shrub looks like a heavily pruned Virginia creeper in its autumn colour.

 

Pink hibiscus moscheatus. There's one colour that hasn't opened yet... Hope the weather doesn't get suddenly cold and stop it.

 

Thank you for naming it, it's in a pot and never grows much.

 

Rose Eye of the Tiger, still flowering well. No black spot, nice green foliage and good in dry, sandy soil.



Miscanthus leaves showing good autumn colour.



Bank in my lower garden with declining colour.



Acer japonicum on the turn.

 

@Plantminded your garden makes me think of Mary Poppins "practically perfect in every way"

 

That's very kind of you @CarolineL, thank you.

 

Salvia Amistad in the ground doing better than the one in the pot. Planted out last year appeared late May.


Liriope muscari


Hesperantha coccinea "Major"

 

Variegated Weigela



Small form of Japanese Anemone



Osteospermum



Mint flowers



Lysimachia still with variegated leaves



Cryptomeria japonica showing autumn colour now



Fuchsia 'Preston Guild'



Fuchsia 'Jasper's Lightning'



Trachelospermum jasminoides with autumn colouring

 

If it is a Parthenocissus [Virginia creeper] @Michael Hewett , it needs to be somewhere it can do it's thing properly, ie - in the ground next to a wall. They're fabulous plants at this time of year.
The Aster has finally managed to flower. Hopefully the weather will stay decent enough for all the plentiful buds to open. It was a 'mistake' [wrong plant sent to me] so no idea what variety it is. Doesn't matter though


The little bargain Gazania has enjoyed the sun that's managed to get through all the recent cloud and rain
