August oddities

 I suppose the dahlias and polyanthus flowering together in my garden are not that unusual - but I was surprised to find petunias and hellebores doing the same thing...do you have oddities too?

    I had a columbine finish flowering less than a week ago - the latest I've ever known.

    One of my Hellebores has decided to bloom again.

    Do you think your hellebore will flower again when it's supposed to?

    I have a foxglove in flower which has a spike just 6 inches tall.  It doesn't look like it will get any bigger either.

    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.

    Is it as odd as the one I posted yesterday Bob?

    I have white hellebores in flower. Also ptimroses, but then I did expect that after giving them a big hair cut.

    Gardening on the wild, windy west side of Dartmoor.

    No idea if the Hellebore will bloom again at the right time, will be interesting to see.

    I hope it will. (If it's still there....) most things are being blown everywhere at the moment.

    No, that fasciated one was both strange and wonderful!  Here's a photo of the "Foxcubglove":

    It really is only 15cm tall (see the aquilegia leaves to the left!)
