The last day of August [1]

Some lovely flowers there. Love the delphinium.

Iam really pleased with it as I had grown them from mixed seed

It's a lovely dark colour isn't it.

What beautiful flowers and I love that Gladdy...such a rich colour. Hope you didn't get any frost, although it drop colder last night.

Nice to see "Plum Tart" something I have grown many moons ago and forgot until I seen your photo

Gg

My sort of colour scheme, blues and pinks with touch of light yellow - lovely. That nasturtium is a beauty - you never know what you're going to get with those!

I have a pinkand blue border next to the road and a yellow/orange red border under the windows and then a mixed border down both sides of the front garden.

I struggled with a pink and blue bed for a while but it kept being invaded by marigold self seeds and I hadn't the heart to turf them out. Its a mess at present and needs a good reorganise.

I know the feeling. the jap anemones are in the hot bed and they are rather pink but They are in the best place to avoid invasion of other places.

Very colourful. I enjoyed seeing your Morning Glorys. Mine never came to anything this year.
Never heard of that Clematis - interesting to see a different one.
I hope you don't have any frost. It's far too soon.

it has suffered a bit with mildew this year with it being so wet I suppose.

Hi Sbg, lots of colour there, like you I don't think that Clematis is ladybird Johnson, I'm fairly sure that is much darker than this one, still nice though, Derek.

We haven't been able to grow clematis until the last couple of years. I do like your two and had just made a note of the name "Ladybird Johnson" when I saw that Derek doesn't think it is that one!
Garden could do with some rain down here!!

it is darker in life Derek but the flash went off. I've looked on line at other pictures and it is a better match than my picture suggests. So here's hoping....

Hi Sbg, I'll let you off then ?, Derek.

you aremost kind sir :o))

????

Lovely selection of plants Seaburn, I do try to sort out a proper colour scheme but I'm afraid it rarely happens that way, why change the habits of a lifetime... lol....

You have some wonderful photos there, SBG! ??

Your "damp bee" doesn't seem to be wet at all!

I had the same colours of Morning Glory as well as the same two but much darker up until last year when they reverted to their original blue/purple.

The yellow Dahlia looks really magnificent! My son has a similar one in his garden. Unfortunately, I can't grow them like that on the balcony as they seem to become a "magnet" for all the earwigs in town! The couple of years I tried they ended up looking like lace curtains!

What a magnificent Gladiolus flower spike! It's a lovely colour!

When I planted my main border, I had the idea to plant a scheme working through the colours of a rainbow but with varying plant heights & positions it all went by the board & turned out to be quite different.
Well, you know what they say about the best plans of mice & men ......

Lovely blog, of a pretty and colourful garden...

thanks DD2
plenty of weeds [o[[ing up in some places though.
