  • Hi @AnniD,
    your 4th picture down with the yellow flowers. Can I ask what it is?
    my mother in law was given what looks like a clump of the same plant from a friend earlier this year and none of us know what it is.

    thanks.

    Hello @justandnobodyelse, it was sold to me as Helianthus "Monarch", but there are a couple of other varieties it could be, they are very similar. 

    I didn't buy it from Farmyard Nurseries, but there is information here.

    Hope this helps  :)

  • thank you @AnniD for helping us out on this. I will look it up.

    The late (or continued) blooming of certain plants has made some of the usual autumn jobs difficult. I'd planned some moves for mid-October and, given the good weather this week, just had to get on with them. But I ended up digging out a mature Cirsium rivulare 'atropurpureum' that was flowering again and had new buds ready to open. It's now in a pot looking sad waiting for anyone to give it a new home. Similarly I'd decided to move a large stand of Rudbeckia 'Goldsturm' that was rapidly taking over one of the new island beds, but I had to chop it back, flowers & all, so that I could see where to dig and to give it the best chance of surviving the move.

    I play with plants and soil and sometimes it's successful
