Whats Looking Good in October 2019

First Narcissi of the season.....

 

Which season would that be @KFF ?

 

Hi Sheal, Narcissi season for me is early October ( I was a little late starting this year ) through to June.

 

Catching more photos of the Brug between showers with a different phone and a few Hibiscus can be seen ...

 

Hi @Victoria , your photos are stunning as always

I think that is one I'm definitely gonna get next year. Is it a named variety?

Are your Hibiscus in shade there? I've got mine in a bright sunny window but I can move it somewhere else if that's better.

 

Thank you @KFF. I believe it is 'Charles Grimaldi'. I bought it in 2011 from Aldi as the red one but got what I have now. I put it up on GC for ID and I believe @pete did the honour ...



The Hibiscus face South but they get filtered sun because of the Brug till early afternoon then none. The white one is about 5 feet tall now,the yellow and peach only 2-1/2 to 3 feet as I cut them back in May along with Charlie.

 

Oh, and I have to admit I did not take the last photo of the three ... as that is me sitting in the background!

 

A bit of this and a bit of that ...Munchkin on the launch pad in front of the Viburnum and the Iochroma in front of her ...

 

These were taken in October so here goes!

And at long last it is looking as if I might get Salvia lasiantha to bloom at long last!

 

You guys and your Salvias. I have Salvia hispanica seeds to grow my own Chia. Not sure how pretty they will be, but ...
