Despite the grey skies and the weeks of battering from wind and rain, there is still a lot of pink in my garden.
The Argyranthemums have formed huge clumps and have been flowering prolifically since May.
The self-seeded Antirrhinums have been a self-perpetuating surprising array of colours.
The red Achillea loves its new position in the new border.
The Kaffir Lilies have survived their many transplants.
The Phygelia stays in a raised bed waiting for a permanent position and seems to love it there, so perhaps it will have to stay where it is.
And my lovely rose, Hot Princess, after a promising Spring flush, sulked all Summer only to burst forth now in early Autumn – so I think she will still be flowering for my birthday, which is particularly apt as she was a birthday gift, last year, from NanaCathy. Thank you Cathy.
Joining Rambling in the Garden for the joy that is: In a Vase on Monday.

All are absolutely lovely. You just had me realizing that I have no Argyranthemums in my garden at the moment. I must remedy that! (Cold and frost aren’t an issue here.)

Those Argyranthemums have been brilliant for you – I had some in pots this year which did well, although deadheading was a faff. My antirrhinums have done well too, and I wonder whether those in the borders might possibly self-seed ps I can smell the fragrance of the chrysanthemums as I write!

How delicious!
Yes the deadheading is a pain, but worth it I think. The only sadness is that they do not seem to offer any nectar for insects – I have never seen any on them.

I think just jars, or canning jars, for jam and tomatoes. Jam Jars is so alliterative and poetic..not at all like the usual north american straight forward lexicon.

They’re beautiful, especially that rose, it’s absolutely gorgeous. And I’m happy to know what the pink flowers are that I’ve been admiring on my dog walks lately, that I’d quite like to grow but didn’t know the name of – Kaffir lilies – so thank you for solving that mystery. Particularly good that they flower at the end of the season.

So glad I solved your mystery CJ – they are a joy at this time of the year and form nice big groups in no time. Also called Schizostylis or Hesperantha! I know – why so many names!
