The yucca putting on a fabulous display this year

 

Fantastic!
Naff all from mine again................

 

Yep @shiney
Goes a real deep red in autumn

 

Went to visit a friend today and I was very impressed with his hostas - the size of some of the leaves are enormous as you can see in this pic

 

Salvia sclarea...............




Unknown Fuchsia..................


Penstemon (Garnet maybe?)...................


And Brugmansia sanguinea is still managing the odd bloom despite the heat.................

 

Nah, that's not BIG - you need a T. Rex


width of the leaf (tip-to-tip) is 165cm, the leaf stalks are 135cm long, and the width of the plant (tip of left leaf to tip or right one) is 3.5M.

Here's my hand, placed on the surface of the leaf, for scale

 

Lilies

Lilium Forza Red:





Lilium Blackburn:



Lilium Red Velvet:



Not sure why I bought different varieties, they all look about the same to me!! (well, not significantly different, enough, to warrant me buying them as separate varieties ...)

Lilium Night Flyer:

 

Poppies:

To mark the hundredth year anniversary of WWI we planted some poppies this year:

Poppy lacinatum Red:



Poppy Black Widow:


Poppy Red Carnation:

 

Those lilies really do stand out Kristen. Love all the poppies too - especially Black Widow - how poignant,
Jenny
would love to see a fuller picture of the whole bed please,
Jenny

 

I'd love to see the whole bed looking a picture too ... but it doesn't. Rather "under construction" ... Dahlias and Cannas supposed to be filling the gaps, but they were started off very late this year, so it currently looks naff ...

 

I'm happy to wait til next year Kristen. it will look stunning then,
Jenny
