One of the flower heads on my newly acquired Allium senescens. (aka German or Mountain Garlic) It's a bit late in the season so the flowers are looking past their best. Hopefully I won't kill it and I'll get to enjoy it properly next year.
... on the other hand I'm impatiently waiting for my Taplow Blue globe thistle to turn blue. I acquired the plant about six weeks ago.
Lovely pix as always here. My 'stripeys' are just starting to colour up Papi Jo - undercover though. Nice bonus having them turn up I took a few 'autumnal' photos on Sunday morning, after all the rain of the previous couple of days
I loved this single red leaf on some strawberries The little Agastaches I grew from seed a couple of years ago are still flowering away and attracting lots of bees, wasps and hoverflies though Last week - some blooms appearing on the Oakleaf Hydrangea too
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Cosmos atrosanguineus Chocamocha. The pollen looks like gold dust. (The eagle-eyed will notice the foliage is not from the Cosmos, but a Lemon Verbena).
