Whats Looking Good October

They're so beautiful

I planted some nerines in a pot this spring, but they haven't flowered. Any advice on their care?

 

@Plantminded , your garden is amazing!!

 

Thank you @PzaMayor3 .

 

Just had a wander round today, not much looking good but took a few pictures anyway.

Lagerstroemias are colouring up.


Likewise Asimina.


Passion flowers are still going.


Loquat is flowering.


Zinnias and others are still looking good.

 

Actaea Queen of Sheba is flowering - Sanguisorba lilac squirrel next to it . Finally a flower on a canna this is Australis has the best dark foliage of cannas I've grown .

Salvia Atrocyanea missed most of the flowers

Think this is Genova I've got a few dahlias I don't remember buying

Now this is a show stopper it really pops stunning dahlia well chuffed with it. I saw it last year at Harrogate flower show and it become a must have its called Kilburn glow

 

Oxalis triangularis "Cupido" still flowering
Jenny namaste

 

Some pots I planted up yesterday for some green and colour over winter.

Pinus Mugo Pumilio.



Abelia Kaleidoscope.

 

That Canna's a showstopper too @Perki . Great photos.

 

Berries & roses are mostly what's keeping the garden going.



(Silas Marner - once again )



Amelanchier Canadensis. I personally find amelanchiers a little overrated but in Spring and Autumn they are beautiful.




Pyracantha Saphyr Orange (though it's nearly red this year).





Two gaultheria mucronata.




The Pilgrim.




Lady of Shalott.




Penelope Lively.




Cotoneaster Berried Treasure.

 

Viburnum farreii early this year.


Crocus nudiflorus


Crocus speciosus


Berberis sheridiana Ogisu 93033


Impatiens tinctoria


Choysia ternata


Cotoneaster salcifolius "Rothschildianus"


Salvia guaranatica "Purple Emperor"


Salvia "Amistad"


Solanum laxum

 

Completely forgot this; Stachyurus praecox "Devon Purple Leaf" the Plant Review had an article recently on it's origins which boiled down to it was found in a garden in E Devon.

 

Your Amelanchier is looking good @CostasK - mine was too until the storm removed most of the leaves!
The rowan that the birds gave me some years ago is turning nicely though. The native one further along is still very green which is unusual for here, but it's been very mild


Rudbeckias are still doing well


as is Acer Orangeola, which I moved a little while ago from it's pot




the misty, moisty day yesterday meant the spider webs were visible in lots of spots

 

@NigelJ that stachyurus looks great - is it that colour all year?

 

@CarolineL When the shoots emerge in springtime they are more coppery and as spring progresses it becomes more purpley.
Because a number of shrubs in front of it died recently it's now a lot more prominent in that bed.
I'm not aware of any nurseries currently listing it.
