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.
