Another little self sown Viola Cornuta quite different from the first one. Much lighter and without quite such marked whiskers.

This plant has stopped flowering now but small clumps of grass like leaves remain. I was given several of these plants earlier in the year but have no idea what they are called. I’m hoping someone can provide the answer. They stand only about 8 inches high including the flowers but were stunning in front of other plants.

^^^ Its one of the Armerias - probably Maritima - commonly known as Thrift. It used to be on the back of the old many-sided 3d bits. https://www.plantlife.org.uk/uk/disc...species/thrift
My Flower is this little fuchsia - maybe it should have been planted in a pot or basket. I don't think its intended for the wild open spaces of my garden.

This one is a slight cheat. Delosperma Cooperi. I have a magneta one that I planted in a falling down flint wall some years ago which is doing well. This one and another one, Orange, I found a couple of weeks ago in a garden centre and these have now been planted in the same wall so it is actually growing in my garden. I’m sure it has a common name but I don’t know what it is.Gardening requires a lot of water - most of it in the form of perspiration. Lou Erickson, critic and poet

I need to know what 3d bits are before I can answer you about my age, are they the same as those films where I need special glasses to see it properlyit may be a struggle to reach the top, but once your over the hill your problems start.

Primula Candelabra- taken this morning. This of course shouldn’t be happening - these plants flower in spring. This patch of primula were plug plants which I bought last spring and they have grown well. A few flowered earlier this year but as one would expect the flowers were not the two foo high stalks of several tiers of flowers which I expect next spring. Hence their name ‘candelabra.’ Not sure if I should let this late flower grow or cut it off.Last edited by cheops; 01-10-2018, 09:27 AM.

A rather sheepish orange oriental poppy. Yet another example this year of a second bout of flowering or an out of season flowering. This plant had been cut back hard earlier this year after flowering but is so full of life it has decided to make another curtain call.
Folks- i’m off to Alicante tomorrow. Grass has been cut, garden tidied and all of the bird feeders filled. Catch up with you all again soon.
