Many of my plants are looking better from a distance at the moment(!), but I have taken a few close-ups today.
Raised bed with Geraniums and Diascia
Dahlia Bishops Children, from seed
Asters
Aster with Japanese Anemone
Coreopsis or Corydalis? (memory blank)
Verbena Bampton
New ‘lavender’ Phlox
Geranium Bob’s blunder (grown by Bob Brown)
Perennial Sweet Pea growing through Cornus
My favourite Salvia
Dishy mingle … 3 different Bacopa
Happy gardening everyone :)

Lots of lovely colourful flowers still blooming wonderfully, Sheila! I love that bright purple aster! A real eye catcher. The dahlia is a real pop of sunshine too!

Thank you very much you lovely people (Julia, David, Eileen and Kate)!

A wonderful selection ,Sheila,and I too,love the Dahlia,'Bishops Children',the Asters,especially the one with the Japanese Anemones,and the Lavender Geranium is so pretty too. I forgot all about Bacopa this year (senior moment) as I do love them,and they seem to last much longer than Lobelia,which is what I got instead, this year. Memo to self,to make a note ! You have such a pretty well kept garden, it's a credit to you :o) x

Your plants are looking pretty good close-up too Sheila, lots of colour still.
Your Coreopsis or Corydalis is actually Caryopteris :) I can never grow it so I am envious of yours lol ...
4 Sep, 2021
Thank you so much Hywel, now I know and will try to remember Caryopteris! :))

Put a label with it Sheila, I have to do that otherwise I tend to forget.

I did plant a Caryopteris once & it died on me, but a Cerotastigma is still growing strong & flowering at the moment, but it really needs to be in a sunnier position. Still, it's a nice blue.

Thanks Hywel β¦ good thinking π.

Sheila, I'm about a week behind on blogs and photos but am trying to catch up now. Michael is watching highlights of a footie match, no idea which one!
You have some smashing plants in your garden, I do like that Dahlia and the Salvia. I wonder if you have watched GW from last night yet? If not, look out for the man with the Salvia collection!
11 Sep, 2021
Thanks very much Shirley β¦ yes, I watched GW and was astonished at the variety of Salvias. I am so glad to have discovered them, through a member of my gardening group who gave everyone cuttings a few years ago. Now we all have the same (unnamed) one!

Excellent . . . the power of sharing! :o)
12 Sep, 2021
Still plenty of colour Sheila, its the same with many of our gardens at this time of the year as some plants are beginning to fade away, you have some lovely ones, thankyou for sharing...

Thank you Lincs, very kind of you π.

Nice to see some more of your flowers, Sheila! My Bishop's Children Dahlias are flowering now on the balcony as well. I have orange & a very dark red.
I like that "Dishy Mingle"! π
