Whats Looking Good November

Mine have been pruned back a few times, they are both small trees, about 12ft high with a rounded head, one is more bush like than the other.

 

My Mahonia



The flowers remind me of a starfish

 

Christmas Cactus and Paperwhite daffs just starting to open

 

Salvia stolonifera late to the party as usual, didn't emerge until September rains.


Dahlia excelsa planted in the ground summer 2024


Salvia confertifolia


Camellia sasanqua "Rosea"


Jasminum nudiflorum


Rosa "Ingrid Bergman"

 

Not mine! Gorgeous cyclamen graecum grown by the legendary alpine growers Rannveig and Bob Wallis.

Their beautiful nerine undulata

Their hederifolium selection with great foliage

In my garden:

Weirdly, candelabra primula flowering

Second flush of hedychium densiflorum

Clematis Wisley Cream - cheap from Morrisons this spring

 

Drizzle is just setting in now before a fortnight of solid rain that is predicted arrives. I thought I’d pick these Brother Cadfael roses before they were ruined.

 

Still in flower

Camellia sasanqua Narumigata currently flowering it's heart out and scenting the surroundings. This is due to the mild weather, but does mean that I won't have any left for Christmas Day.

 

Vinca self seeded ...

 

Strawberry tree, Arbutus unedo.

 

I was contemplating buying one earlier. but went for more Hibiscus ...

 

Probably too big unless you have the space, the fruits drop off and can be messy on paving, mine is just in my wild part so it just does what it likes.

Your Vinca look like seedlings of the Catharanthus you had in the summer.

 

They are, I was surprised to see them in the pot next to it so moved them on. The original pot is still going strong but flagging a bit with the flowers.

 

Mine have all mostly succumbed to the lower temperatures, they stopped flowering and looked sad so I saved seed and got them out.

 

More grasses alight in morning sun.
