Anything still in flower?

[jean]

Been having a tidy up today and there are still a few things in flower



















Anything still going in your gardens ?

[nightowl]

That's a good selection you've still got flowering there JL

Does Clematis Freckles always flower about now? I thought it was late winter/very early spring i got 3 babies in the spring that have grown quite well but don't look as if they are thinking of flowering.

[Tig]

Lucky you jl - only flowers out in our garden are on the mahonia - which is covered this year, the frost has got everything else, it was -6 here last night - brass monkeys!! x Tig

[Deleted]

That's a very impressive selection, Jlottie ;D Like yours, my Solanum Alba is still flowering like mad, as is the Eccremarcarpus, and one Penstemon has thrown up new flower shoots. Ajania is flowering away, but it's supposed to be winter flowering ;D ... everything else is more or less on its last legs, except for one Viola labrodorica which has decided to give us a single solitary flower - obviously confused ;D

[Chuckles]

Jeez JL can't you tell your'e down south, your garden looks better now that mine has all year

Lovely photo's though, but I'm green with envy ;D

[isabella]

Lovely photos jlottie - your Solanum is beautiful - well so is everything else ;D

[Weeterrier]

I don't have much left, a couple of Penstemons and a Salvia, but they are on their last legs. Oh, and a couple of wine coloured Clematis flowers, don't know what kind. They look so lonely

You look as if you still have Summer ;D

[Deleted]

My sedums geraniums lobelia fuchsia are still flowering but have nearly finished.

[Ladygardener]

what a lot of colour you still have in your garden jlottie, I'm green with envy

[jean]

Definitely not summer, but no frost yet thank goodness. Usually by now we have had the howling gales and torrential rain from the direction of the Atlantic which is only approx 3 miles as the crow flies - but so far have been spared

That Freckle's clematis has been flowering on and off for a while and I don't think it can make its mind up what time of year it is

Clem is still going too



And the Fatsia Japonica



Whats still flowering in your gardens - there must be something somewhere ?

[Ladygardener]

Those clematis are lovely, well my tender gerainiums are still giving some colour as is the mallow, sunflowers, nerine of course and the very last of the calendula are lovely will post pics but they're not very good

[Ladygardener]

[Ladygardener]

[nightowl]

Everything I still had has been totally wiped out by the very hard frosts we've had, even my Winter Pansies are looking sad.

Oh, except for the indestructable Solanum Alba!

[jean]

the indestructable Solanum Alba!

I'm begining to realise that NO lol.

LNG, my sedums were over ages ago I must get round to planting some nerines next year, they are really pretty - whats your white one called ? Your mallow is still looking good too

[Ladygardener]

thank you jlottie it's nice to see something flowering at this time of the year. The nerine is actually pale pink but the camera did'nt pick it up this morning. ;D

[Plocket]

I've got my Euphorbia White Swan in flower at the moment, and still hanging in there is Clematis "Fond Memories". There's not a lot else in flower at the moment but plenty of structure

[chickadeedeedee]

Geraniums, snapdragons, soapwort, black-eyed Susans, a single red rose and many flowers on the mini-rose known as 'Popcorn'.

[Spruance]

Last week's frosts finally finished off the remaining bedding plants but remarkably the passion flower is still going strong at the bottom of the garden, along with several roses, and of course the viburnums in the front garden.

[Tig]

Well I thought everything with a bit of colour had gone - but on closer inspection today:-










And the lovely Mahonia - which is covered in flower

x Tig

[Weeterrier]

That Mahonia is a corker Tig, mine is just in bud.

[nightowl]

So's mine WF I'm just amazed at the Winter Jasmine!!

[Ladygardener]

I can't believe the Jasmine is in flower now!! Lovely pics Tig and I love your little snowman

[Dutchy]

Great Tig. Lucky you to still have so may going.
My Chrysanthemums are still going but the rain turned them into strange brownblobs with a hint of colour. Not worth taking a pic right now.
I think most plants do not come through winter because of the wet we have rather than any frost.

[Chuckles]

It's amazing what is still in flower, even though we have had some -5 nights and a lot of stuff has been finished off by this. I've just been up the garden and am amazed to see one plant in particular still looking good and flowering.

It was Andy that spured me to try these, he kept talking about the lovely perfume he had at night in his garden from them. So I bought a packet of seeds, sowed them a bit late but am so pleased I did, definately on my list for next year.

These are in a pot rather than the garden - Night Phlox

[Ladygardener]

Oh how lovely Chuckles and what a bonus to have scent as well, lucky you.

[Chuckles]

They are lovely LNG but I've just been going through some of my seeds and found a packet of Night Scent Stocks that I didn't sow and now wonder if I've been a Noo Noo and got muddle up, it may have been those that Andy grew. Hayho Noo Noo

[Missredhead]

Might go see if I can get some of those...I want something with a nice scent...

I still have a few roses blooming and there are some buds still on them.

[Dutchy]

Chuckless any chance on the Latin name for that night phlox?
Not much going on in my garden.
Still some Chrysanthemum and the Viburnum but nothing else.
Unless blooming counts, as in Blooming rain?

[Chuckles]

Dutchy the Night Plox are Zaluzianskya capensis. Lovely aren't they, I was very late sowing them possible even past the time the packet recommended, this is probably is why mine are still flowering. I'm really amazed at how such a delicate flower and foilage has survived the cold and below freezing temperatures we've had. They must be tough little things

Fothergills have them and Thompson & Morgan
