Our up and down temperatures and too dry/too wet weather have put my fall-blooming plants on hold. Lots of buds but few flowers yet on Tricyrtis or Anemone japonica. Since there's no frost on the horizon, I should be able to enjoy those flowers for quite a while as soon as they open.
The turkey-foot flowers on the star fruit (Penthorium seloides) are just starting to turn orange as the foliage changes to yellow. This plant has its roots in the edge of the upper pool.
A number of my Heucheras have bloomed on and off all summer. I can never decide if this one is 'Caramel' or 'Marmalade'.
Haven't a clue as to the identity of this Sedum using the Hakoechloa grass for support.
My big clump of Tricyrtis 'Tojen' died in the miserable winter of 2017/18, so I moved some Tricytris formosana into the empty spot.
Here we are a year after I thought T. 'Tojen' died and suddenly a stem of it pops up amidst the replacement plant! This is a lovely flower but the plants tend to flop, unlike T. formosana; so now I will have to decide which one gets to stay.
Visit May Dreams Gardens to see what's blooming in gardens elsewhere.
I love the Sedum and Hakoechloa combo!

Flowers on Heuchera in summer! In contrast, my poor 'Marmalade' plants look as though they've been incinerated. (I'm hoping they'll recover when the rain returns.) I adore the toad lilies, another genus I tried and failed to grow here in SoCal.

I am so jealous that you have tricyrtis! I had some and I loved their fall blooming. But last year they drowned when we had so many storms. Now I am reorganizing that area. I have hopes for the future.

Your garden looks so lush! Mine is dry as a crisp from no rain. Well, at least I got to enjoy yours!

I used to have that last toad lily but it died. The ones I have now look similar to the replacement one. Not much blooming here. Haven't had measurable rain here in September with lots of 90 and upper 80s temps. Makes it tough on plants. Happy GBBD.

I really can't complain much about the rain as the garden certainly needs it at this time of year. Plus we've only had it come into the basement once since Mark built the art shelves. I just hate the fact that now I am always worried that we will have one of these storms that doesn't move and floods everyone.
