two pinks makes.......

pink and eh.. pink.

was going to put the coneflower with the blue phlox but took a chance that the two pinks would work.

my first orchid, ever.

tricyrtis hiki yuri.

i bought this orchid today, i have never had one before, but even i, cant feck this one up as its winter hardy, {and yes anne}. comes back year after year and the main selling point, the butterflies love it. you also have it flowering from july until october. sun or semi shade. 

day lily

hemerocallis stella d'oro

this is my first season to grow these and looking good so far.

this evening for me it was the first blast of autumn in the air, you know that feel to it.

took this photo a moment ago, cloud looks so bad moving this way, not my type of sunset.

national hoover fly day?

hooverfly.

did anyone notice an abundance of hooverflies today?, i came home from work this evening and did the usual hug the plants before the family :-). and i have never seen so many hooverflies before, which is great, so just wondering is it just a local thing or did you see more than usual.

cordata

chamaeleon

i like this around the pond, it is invasive as im sure mr invasive would know {thats bruno}, but it has that appeal in the pond margin setting.

summer bulb

eucomis autumnalis.

my first time to have this, it should be more advanced at this stage, but where theirs bud theirs hope.

night phlox

night scent

i have been looking forward to these flowering as i grew these annuals from seed and the scent is really nice. i have them in a portable planter, its in my mid summer album. this way i can move them to where i am!

plants are unsure.

i noticed a lot of plants going for the second flush of flowers, but thats a bonus for all i think, i just feed them if their adament to give again.
