                Not a great deal going on in our garden. We're doing a lot of cutting back because of the drought, but it means that we're well in advance for our Autumn/Winter clear up.

                Some of the fuschias are still doing OK

                    Thanks. :blue thumb:

                    The cyclamen bed is actually about another 50% more - and they have also started spreading through the beds nearby and in the lawn around the bed.

                    I haven't got much of a shot of the whole bed but this shows a bit more.
                    P1300403.JPG

                    It flowers at least twice a year and sometimes three times. The bed is about 40 years old and some of the corms are 12" in diameter. We're always digging small plants out of the lawn and giving them (or selling them) to friends. All proceeds go to charity. :dbgrtmb:

                        It must be Autumn! first of the Nerines, Codora with it's dark pink colour always seems to flower early and Ostara has a couple of flowers bud shooting up too.

                          Not too much to see in my garden at the moment, most things are still recovering from the long dry spell here, which finally ended last weekend.

                          A couple of things are giving a splash of colour though. These Gazanias grown in a large pot are still going strong...

                              I promised myself this week that I would grow Cleome again next year. Is that a tall variety or one of the shorter ones?

                              Plenty still looking good here. Alstroemeria isabella "Fred Meyer" has been one of my plants of the year............

                                Hi Longk,

                                You're evil you are......

                                Keep showing me all these Salvias

                                :roflol:

                                Is " Yvonnes Giant " an annual? I've never known whether S. Splendens is an annual or a tender perennial ...

                                Also, when does S. Dolichantha flower and does it stay out all Winter ?
