That is a very good light bulb moment lily pilly Your display of pots looks lovely and I'm sure if you keep em watered and fed they stiil will be beautiful when your family comes I really like the hydrangea with the dark stems, so close to buying one this year but were very exspensive down here Will go on my wish list for next year
I don't have a lobelia OL - mine got eaten by snail/slugs last year
My rudbeckia was a clump that my brother gave me as a Christmas/moving in pressie - not sure how many there were to begin with I love them. I've got another clump a bit further along but they don't have black middles. Not sure what type either of them are
LilyP your garden looks lovely, and your pics turn round when I click on them

a couple of mine in whatever order they decide to appear!
Hydrangea paniculata (for SgL) only one bloom this year.
rudbekia ( one 'normal' and one cherry brandy) with hebe (? name escapes me)
lobellia queen Victoria with pink cosmos ( not the best colour combo but there ya go)
Oh mrs garden another hydrangea I really want on my wish list, beautiful pics
Love the hydrandgea pani-wotsit - only one bloom, but what a whopper. And now i can see why Queen Vic gives you a smile that lasts all day
MrsG, that bloom is lovely. Its very full. Although I have a few on mine they are not as full as that.
Love the Queen Vic, not heard or see it before.....now on my list
Heres my paniwhatsit.
Everyone seems to have lobelia and I thought it was a low growing annual until a few weeks ago
It's now on my wish list 
Love the hydrangea paniwhatsits too
