October Blooms

[Georgie]

It's been a while since I shared any photos from my garden so here are some snaps I took today.   :)  G x



This is the second year I've had the Fatsia and as you can see it is about to bloom.



Nasturtium Milkmaid.  This is self-seeded in and old window box - the soil must be about 5 years old!



Evening Primrose.  The intensity of the colour and the fragrance is hard to beat.



I love this Pansy as it is one of the very few I have grown that doesn't seem to get powdery mildew.



This fern has just been moved next to the compost bin and log pile.  I love the way the new leaves have those copper hues.



This is Silene Jack Flash.  I thought it would be a much brighter red but it's more like tangerine.  Still, I really like the ragged petals.



Not the best of snaps but this Passiflora still has dozens of buds on it.



This has been the best year yet for blooms on my Toad Lily.  Sadly something has been eating the leaves and it appears to have some kind of rust too. 



I bought this Tricolour Sage as a tiny plant about two months ago.  It is clearly very happy.



The same goes for this Pineapple Mint.  Must be the posh platers I reckon.   ;)



Once again the Liriope has bloomed well despite constant attack from the snails!



And finally these are Chilli Sicily.  They are milder than I expected but I like the way they look.

Fuchsias to follow in another thread.

I really like the colour of the nasturtium, georgie..a most maligned plant, imo  ;D

[Georgie]

Thanks both.  Manics I'm happy to send you some seed if you PM me.  It's drying nicely as I type.   ;D

thanks, georgie, I really can't, both the garden and the plot are bursting with plants..we're gradually replacing the plants in the home garden with perennials and the nasturtiums at the plot self seed all over the place and they were an assortment of colours  :)

Right oh.  I'm in the same position, too many plants/seeds and not enough room.  I'm also growing fewer and fewer annuals but they are useful as back ups when (notice I don't say if!) the slugs and snails attack.   ;D
