Just a few more flowers that are still going for it at the moment.
Some nice annual colour, not quite sure what these were but i liked them on the seed packed :-)
Achillea summer berries still going strong.
More Scabies Ace of spades, this is still throwing a few more flowers up..
This is Dahlia Mystic Gold, only an annual but i like it.
Another Mystic Dahlia, but yellow, like the contrast in colour with the leaves.
my big pot of Impatience are still going strong, but they have gone past their best…
Jades patio rose still going strong.
Lobelia Crystal palace that self seeded from last year…
A hybrid Penstemon from seed a few years ago, still going well.
My Penstemon king george still putting up flowering branches..
oxalis deppei on it’s way over now, but the leaves still look pretty good.
The first of 2 confused Oxalis… this is O.Versicolor..
oxalis adenophylla just starting to put up some leaves how odd…
I do love these, Ipomea or morning glory…
This is the seed pod from the Ipomea, you can tell it’s ready by the papery brown case and if you look closer you can just make out the black seed inside.. Just ready for harvesting for next year…
Which is were i’m off to now to harvest the seed, thanks for looking everyone, hope you had a good day…

Lots still looking good there SL - it's nice to see things still hanging on in there isn't it?

Enjoy it as much as possible. For these colours I like September and October more then August. As in August there is a garden pause - summer flowers faded away and autumn did not start to bloom, yet. :) Nice flowers over there!

Still lots of lovely colour,S.lad..I am going to try Impatiens again next year..not heard of any repeat of the virus that affected them last year..I missed having them..and the King George Penstemon looks great :o)

Thanks Bloomer, yes the impatiens look ok now these were from Jersey so were safe. or so they said :-)

That sounds promising..they were still being sold at all our outlets,but I was wary of trying them..although I still have some seeds I collected from before the virus struck,but forgot about them! Wonder if they will still be viable? ..only one way to find out,next year ! :o)

Nice to see things still carrying on their flowering, after this bad summer :o)
Lovely colouring on your dahlia leaves ...
20 Sep, 2012
that's true, let us know if they do germinate i'd be interested to know :-)

Thanks Hywel it's a shame they are only an annual type but i may try doing some cuttings to see if i can get them through the winter... :-)

Couldn't you lift and store the tubers ?
20 Sep, 2012
i normally do, i'll see if they do make it this year, last year they all died for some reason.

Love the achillea and Jade's patio rose. I should do some seed collecting- if it ever stops raining long enough to venture out into the garden - it's a sea of mud.
21 Sep, 2012
Thanks Tuesdaybear, i'll pop your bunny tail seed in the post Monday they look dried out now. we had our first bit of rain for 2 weeks last night and that was just a shower..been very dry here..
