My garden flowers mainly in late winter, early spring, early and mid summer. As much as I try to plant things for autumn and early winter, they just don't survive.
A lot of the front and back garden is now green. Some of the greenery is quite lush and will bring some even later colour into the garden as I always prune things when finished and some of them flower again about 8 weeks later.
Herewith some pictures:
The first two are coloured varieties of sneezeweed or orange/yellow helenium
A pink flox with white centre
The first if late flower on my self sown buddleia from last year
A coneflower of some type - we have several varieties of coneflower
A self sown sunflower about 3 feet tall with just this one flower.
Hibiscus
Forgotten the name of this but it has now been cut down twice and re-flowered each time!
One of a few gladioli. I never lift them and they usually come back each year.
Japanese Anemone, a bit of a thug as it is now trying to take over my front gravel path so will need to be sorted out!
Monkshood - several of these in two different colours, but these haven't flowered as well as their paler cousins.
Hydrangea
Just loving your floral pictures this morning. I'm a great fan of anemones, budlia and hydrangeas. Thinking your UFO might be valerian ?
ReplyDeleteThank you Emma, I knew it began with a v. I don't know why, but valerian just will not stick in my brain.
DeleteSome of our flowers are having a second flush having been given the Chelsea chop earlier in the year. We havent got as many as you in flower though!
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful. I wish our garden had so much colour!

Beautiful flowers :) The anemones are stunning. I used to have some in my garden, but they somehow disappeared. Think I would like to plant some new ones this autumn.
