Another picture I took at work. The spotted varieties have been growing on me though I'd still say I prefer the plain one I already have.

Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day - September 2010

Lots flowering again this month. Many earlier flowering plants are repeating, and all of my fall flowering plants are going. And some have never really stopped.
Actaea (Cimicifuga) simplex 'James Compton' is one of my favourite plants. It is matched on the other side of the yard by the equally lovely 'Hillside Black Beauty'. It is rare for either of these to flower before September making them a real fall flowering plant. The buds start to form in mid summer so there's a lot of expectations on these once they open. A. simplex is faintly fragrant with a sweet candy like scent. Do not try to smell A. racemosa though!
Tricyrtis 'Tojen' is another star of the fall shade garden. I had a picture of the flower a million times better last month but this better shows the massive number of flowers this can get. At each axle the plant will produce a branched flower stalk with between 10-15 buds, which open over an extended period. It starts in August but will not stop flowering until snow. This year as well there were no lily beetles to ruin the look so it'll be looking its best all fall.
Lonicera japonica 'Halliana' is repeating in its corner. Apparently with a little more light it would be more of a continuous bloomer, which would be nice, but I'll take what I can get. My Clematis 'Rebecca' is reblooming as well. It was hit hard by the unprecedented heat waves of this summer and does not look too good in pictures right now!
Persicaria affinis started flowering in May and has not stopped. There's a better picture in the link but this shows the effect later in the season as the older flowers have darkened to a nice pink colour with more white flowers opening constantly.
My Bougainvillea is also still flowering well with little sign of stopping.
My NOID Red Rose. I can't say enough good things about this plant.
There's even more flowering inside but I imagine that soon enough I'll be posting those exclusively so for now enjoy the late season garden.
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you liked seeing some of what I have flowering this month. And as always head over to May Dreams Gardens to see what's flowering for other Garden Bloggers.

Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day, August 2010

My garden is slow to get started in the spring, but as you can see on this Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day it definitely makes up for it now when most gardens are slowing down. Many of my favourite plants are actually those that flower in late summer.
Streptocarpus 'Laura'
Monarda 'Fireball' - to be honest I'm a little bit disapointed. I expected it to be red but it isn't. If I were going to be planting a pink Monarda there are nicer varieties, more compact varieties or frankly varieties that aren't even pink. Like 'Purple Rooster' or 'Raspberry Wine'. At least the colour matches my Clematis (The petals turn more pink/red as they age) and Bougainvillea.
Tricyrtis 'Tojen' will continue to flower for a long time, and will soon be joined by an even more hardcore fall flowering perennial, my Turtlehead (Chelone obliqua).
My Red Rose only has a few flowers on it right now, but many buds getting ready to open any day now. It's rambled its way up into my so called "dwarf" Banana (I'll post a picture once the rose starts to open - hint, it's gotten huge).
In the front yard my Hydrangea seems to be holding down the fort, while my Roses out front and my 'White Clips' Bellflower have a few flowers off and on.
Thanks for stopping by, hope you've enjoyed seeing some of the plants I have flowering this month.

Tricyrtis 'Tojen' flowering

Tricyrtis 'Tojen'
My toadlily is flowering around the same time as usual, apparently, even though I always think of it as a fall flowering plant. Shh, fall isn't that close...
This year it hasn't even been plagued by lily beetles so it's stayed a very attractive plant up to where it starts flowering, and of course just a little bit bigger and more impressive than ever.
