I didn't get moved Pirl. Still here. Lol

just kidding. But some good looking plants everyone. I haven't visited this forum in a while. I missed a lot! Can't believe the season is pretty much over. More lily bulbs coming. Maybe do some scaling, and of course seed to get going in January.

Some flowering today.

Forest Bell Bush (Mackaya bella)

Yarrow: I thought this was a cooking herb. I was quite surprised to see that there were actual cultivars of it.

Coriander in Australia. Cilantro in US? I grow this by beating the spent flowerheads on the ground between my daylilies. I just pull out the sprouted ones that intrude on the daylilies but the remaining are always plentiful and handy for salads and cooking.

Cilantros (Coriandrum sativum)
Uploaded by Gleni

My Emu Bushes (Eremophila nivea) are grafted because the species is an arid plant. I think they are coming to the end of their tether. I will clip after flowering and keep my fingers crossed for another year.

The problem is that when you are young your life it is ruined by your parents. When you are older it is ruined by your children.

Replace your lawn with a garden!

RJ - yes, frost tonight. I picked a shopping bag full of green tomatoes!

A few things from the last week or so that are still blooming...and a very tiny friend that I found hiding in the leaves of Dark Towers penstemon.

Strange that Dark Towers is blooming again at this late date.

And a coneflower that hadn't bloomed all summer just opened up.

Pink Penny cranesbill - thought I had lost it.

Peek-a-Blue Russian sage - new in my garden this year. It's a dwarf and I like it!

Caradonna reblooming and Black Adder still at it-always the longest blooming perennial in my garden

And my cute tiny little friend - can't believe I even found him.

Jeanie - it's generally in the fall.

Jo Ann - they do appear as if it was magic and so do the rebloomers.

Thanks Arlene...was just wondering if there was something going on now that I hadn't seen.

Another another noid clump.
