They are an autumn flowering variety from Greece, they have been known to flower in September in the wild.

This local Boston Ivy was looking good until Callum hit it

Acer Sango Kaku.


Penstemon.


Alstroemeria Indian Summer still flowering well.


First time Callistemon laevis has had a few flowers in the autumn, the last two years the buds were killed off by early frosts.
