September - still going strong

Five photos of the "Exotic border" ...

Fascicularia Bicolor (American???)


Musa Sikkemensis



Eucomis comosa "Sparkling Burgundy"


Hedychium forrestii (It's a ginger)


Cautleya spicata (It's another ginger!)


Miscanthus "Ferne Osten" is absolutely delightful this year. The flowers are a lovely deep colour.

Looking from the path near the conservatory toward the summer house, much of the garden is starting to be past its best, but there's still enough to draw the eye.


The Morning Glory is stunning, climbing through the red climbing rose (possibly Dublin Bay).

Rosa glauca (possibly rubrifolia)

(White) Anemone Honorine jobert

The Chocolate Cosmos next to the Sedum has formed an unexpected combination - it certainly wasn't planned to have the pink combination, but it does work very nicely

The Yucca in the front garden has seven flower spikes on it. That's the most it's had since we've lived here. It should be a fabulous display. Do they have a scent? I don't recall.
