Whats Looking Good September

Thank you @fairygirl, I've had it about 40 years in a pot (took a cutting from one growing on a wall somewhere !) but I haven't got any ground next to a wall where I could plant it, all walls have decking or concrete by them.
It's survived all these years in a pot so it must be happy

 

It must be indeed @Michael Hewett ! You could always rig up some height with trellis for it to climb a bit, or have it in a bigger container next to a shed or similar, if you can manage it.
It's surprising that it's managed in the pot though, but the colour is so beautiful on them. I love them but I have enough climbers here so I'd be struggling to find a good site.
There's one on a house wall about a mile away from me, and it's always lovely in autumn if I go past. Boston Ivy is the other Parthenocissus, and it's lovely too. They're both great for covering old [in particular] buildings, or things like ugly outhouses etc.

 

I've got lots of climbers too @fairygirl but they are on trellises, and the trellises are full. I may put a trellis for this somewhere next year

 

Nothing today i went to see my friends.

 

I've started bringing plants into the house early this year, and I've hung some on an old clothes rail. It's gone rusty from being in the shed for years, but the plants don't mind.
I've put it in the bathroom and it doesn't look to bad. It will be easy to look after the plants when they're hanging there.
I may try to clean the rust off some time ...

 

That's a great idea @Michael Hewett

 

Someone gave me these Gazanias as he had too many on his land and we put them at the base of the Avocado tree.


As they look so cheery I have bought a packet of mixed Sunshine to try.

 

Hedychium Lunar Moth finally flowering. Can't yet tell if it's as scented as Devon Cream nearby - need some sun to release the scent.
And here is a view of the whole of it (the bed is lowered ) - I counted 9 flower spikes to come if the weather is ok

 

Didn't expect this to flower until next year, Sesbania punicea.




Begonia grandis has taken over a dingy corner.


Sinningia cardinalis has been out in all the wet weather and still flowering, must admit to some wind damage.

 

Echinacea and eryngium. It looks like the slugs have made a start on the echinacea, having polished off the zinnias.


Eryngium.



Salvia "Cherry Lips"


Red salvia


Gaillardia

 

@Plantminded, what is the grass with the white plumes just above the seat please?

 

@Michael Hewett I really like your Osteospermum, do you know the variety please?

 

A break from the rain today so took a few photos of what I think is looking good about the garden:
Rudbeckia overshadowed by Golden Hornet crab apple with branches weighed down with fruit

Medlar fruit

Hover fly on Aster blooms

Evening primrose and sunflower still blooming


Happy gardening!

 

The only flower on either of my Plumbagos this year. I' think it's been too hot for them.



Flowering spike of Adromischus cooperi





My Liriopes are exceptionally good this year, I've got several clumps and some in tubs.



Anisodontea



Cyclamen (I can never get a good photo of them)



Flowers of Peperomia verticillata
(it's a bit scruffy and etiolated at the moment, it needs repotting )



Cotoneaster (I may have shown a photo of this previously, can't remember, but here's another one !)

 

I'm afraid I don't @Sheal it's old and the label is lost.
I could send you a cutting or two if you like ...
