Crocosmia

Nice to see the pics... they certainly add some colour at this time of year :o)

I have seen it in a very bright red as well...I like the look of them in all of their various colors...so delicate yet strong...lovely

Thank you both. Lucifer is much redder in real life and I am a bit annoyed that I could not get the shade correct. The Firejumper is a lovely plant. Photo1 is a good rep. of the colour of it. It is almost striped. Itis in shade most of the time and it shines out like a beacon.

You could perhaps try photographing Lucifer at a different time of day .. early morning or late evening.... It might help show the red colour ...

That is a good idea TT thank you will try it. I have been taking pics early in am before starting work in the garden. I am lifting potatoes at the moment and it is some job. Also I have not planted my heuchera in the ground yet because I like to give plants which are known to harbour vine weavil a quarantine period in a pot. One of my palace purple has them so I was side tracked in to getting rid of the mainroot and soil and taking cuttings. I'll see how they do. It was a very sunny am when I took these so will try later on.

What a great idea to give plants a quarantine period...
...I like that ...
Good luck with your potatoes...
I have a list of autumn garden tasks which seems to get longer by the minute ! Lol.

I used to open my garden in aid of the local seniors group and the local school. I received gifts of plants to sell from gardeners in the area. I was appalled to find vine weavil in a batch of donated pacific primulas which were very healthy looking. Iwas splitting a huge clump so that we had more to sell. From then on I have always quarantined new plants which I am aware are susceptible, as it is impossible to get rid of it in a third of an acre garden. I also washed the roots of all plants and repotted after that find as I did not want to be responsible for giving them to others. Potatoes are looking good. I will do a blog on whatI achieved this year when I get around to it.

I like these. They look old fashioned. I don't have them in this garden.

So far these are my favourite blooms in the garden. I think I have the firejumper and a bright red one. None are as big as 6' though!!

Love the pics.

I love them too, they really brighten up a corner of my garden where nothing else seems to grow. Lovely pictures scotsgran.
