I have that when the occasion aspires to it.

Wow Brian you still have plenty of colour. The thalictrum at the top of your garden (from your sister) might be a Th. delavayi. I was reading May Cowens book about Inverewe and she decribes your plant. I googled it and came up with this link. Its got lots of cultural instructions as well as photos. I thought you might be interested in it.

I hope Rhys and his mum are continuing to make progress.

I like your saxifraga!

Bjs, such a lovely blog the Mapel/Rudbeckia pic is beautiful....Love the Asters and of course, love Jamie ...:>)

All beautiful photos Brian, I love the 'Cherry Brandy' and do you have any more info on the Saxifrage please.

Annella & Bik, other than its a variety of Saxifraga Fortunei,a woodland plant flowers Oct/Dec ? and originates in China, what I was given were divisions ( I have not tried yet),there are several colour forms including a red (Rubifolia) and seems easy going.
thats as much as I know

Thanks Brian it's a beauty.

Very lovely Blog ! Love the tiny flowers:-))))))

Love your verbina bonarensis I bought some a couple of months ago but the weather has prevented me from putting them in so far. Hope I can have them in soon.

Still loads going on in your garden Brian ,I love the colour of the Cherry brandy ,interesting to see the Rhodo yellow hammer in flower , My John Downie hasn't done very well this last couple of years I wonder if it's becoming to dominated by a huge Liquid Amber growing next to it ... I think Jamie is still sulking about the bacon sarnie -- poor Jamie !

So much colour Brian - what plant is Cherry Brandy? - brilliant pictures - the Rudbeckia has done well in my garden this year- so colourful and I am quite proud because I grew it from seed - lovely picture of Jamie - thanks for sharing - Jane

Marigold It is Rudibeckia Cherry brandy but if I get two years out of it think i will be Lucky, totaly different growth to the more common yellow ones.

Thanks... and thanks for passing on messages for me :o)

My Rudbeckia Cherry Brandy didn't last either Brian unlike the common yellow type. Glad you still have such a lot of colour in your garden.

Linda crossed my mind to pollinate some with the yellow but decided they would almost certain be Brown,so scraped that idea.

Mine seemed like a great plant.....I even let it winter in the greenhouse. Very disappointing!

Very beautiful plants BJs. Your Kirengeshoma looks stunning. Mine is very pathetic this year having been mildewed early on. I love the Rhody...a touch of spring in October! Actually, I love all your plants...my kind of planting :)
