What's looking good in August 2012

Thanks, I'd be very happy to send a contribution for the fund raising

 

Not looking read to flower as yet ... but its looking healthy. I'd better give it some "K" if its getting to flowering season.

 

Shiney,
that last frame (9668) made my heart quicken. A beautiful combination of ALL my favourite colours? Whose taking a bow for that one? You or your good lady?

 

Sanguisorba Tenuifolia 'Alba', grown from seed 4 years ago over 6ft tall this year.

Lilium 'Michauxii', fed up of squishing lily beetle this year but a few flowers have escaped.

Lysimachia 'Ephemerum'

Obedient plant.

I did wonder about taking a picture from the bedroom of this over 8ft tall!!!!!
Inula 'Racemosa'
A few daylilies are starting to rebloom and this one looks even better second time round, 'Sink into your Eyes'

 

This is my last wall basket. Planted up in early July with 2 little Begonia Sutherlandii and a rooted bit of Fuchsia Orange Crush that broke off then rooted itself for me. The basket lining looks rather unsightly (scraps of old remnants) but the plants will cover it soon as this should go on until the frosts,

 

Gorgeous as usual everyone.

 

Bee time.

 

Some photos from Sues garden this evening.

Passiflora antioquensis..............


Her rather ill behaved Brugmansia........


It's cousin - Iochroma cyanea.............


Agapanthus................


Hosta "Royal Standard" that I dug up from my old garden for her. The leaves are rather indifferent, but the flowers are superb!


And finally the Hibiscus, which is very late on parade this year!

 

From my own garden;

Recently bought Tricyrtis formosana "Purple Beauty" in the newly liberated bed................


Seems more blue than purple to me though!

This is looking really good to me - my Tricyrtis ishianna is sooooo very close to blooming!


Unknown dwarf hosta bloom.............


Possibly my favourite plant of the year - Bomarea hirtella is opening its blooms on its second flowering stem. Better bunch on this one ............
