In Flower Now

Thats very impressive Siris....not bad for October!!

Ditto

That's just flowers, foliage and berries not included.

That's incredible Siris - well done you :)

I think the garden has appreciated all the rain we've had. Usually by this time the soil is really dry.

I hope my H bluebird flowers well in the future ?

great selection ...

Dawn, your Bluebird is 3? years old, same as this one, but. has always been confined to a pot, so stunted by comparison.

Thanks Gnarley, I've 2 plants of Iris Scented Blue with flowerbuds, 1 of I. Again &Again and my newish Daylily Black Arrowhead has a flower stalk developing. Will the frosts get them?

What lovely varieties you have there

Siris, planted the Hibiscuses in my new space so should be perfect! Should romp away now free from pots. I have an iris in bud? Frosts here very likely :-(

Hi

I would cut the flower off and save the plants energy for next year ....

Dawn, your area is so much colder I think, any frost you get will turn the flower to mush.
Gnarley, the Iris rhizomes that are going to flower will shrivel anyway, so I may as well enjoy those flowers. A scented blue flowered last year 22 Oct. Again and Again flowered Dec, 2years ago. The Daylily is one of 3 roots, so I'll leave I think.

Thanks for the advice :)
