Surely my Castor Oil plant has stopped growing now, 7 foot tall and countingI love these gallardia as much as the bees do, although none visitingBishop out there todayBishop's Children Dahlias still producing beautiful blooms
Beautiful flowers everyone, I'm on the last of them now, sadly.
This is the only bed in the garden, and I suppose should be more of a year round feature, but it's mainly autumn flowering (working on it): Asters here include Monch, Connie and Little Carlow.
Various symphyotrichum laeve and I think the pink one is Harrington's Pink.
It wonderful @Victoria Sponge that sanguisorba .C has been flowering for quite a while it seems. How long that persicaria been flowering in the background ? I am still on the fence about persicaria but I like the flowers .
The sanguisorba started mid Aug but has about finished now, the bees have lost interest anyway. It's a bit of a beast. I love persicaria but they do have a crazy weed look to them. The one near the house is Firedance and started flowering at the end of July and isn't finished yet. I suspect it gets some protection from the house wall, not that it needs it, but it is the biggest of all my persicaria (so far).
I love my persicaria blackfield! Not sure what gives it (or indeed your lovely one) a "crazy weed look"! #justwondering!
If the growing conditions are not ideal they can look a bit ragged I think? Like the one near the front of my second photo...They also have the knotweed connection and they remind me sometimes of dock😀 I love them though and have many varieties and have also kept some pretty seedlings (I find they seed a lot).
I hope you both feel well again @cornelly and what a beautiful view of those lovely Chrysanthemums (?) they look gorgeous. Mine here are doing well now too - they were £2.00 each a couple of years ago and have produced a wonderful display each year - Sept - November
