Here we are into November, and still I have flies buzzing round strongly inside the house and wasps doing the flower rounds in the garden....... (I plan to keep recording this as warm weather persists into late autumn/winter, year after year, and insect activity remains strong :) I still have all of my salvia in pots outside, 2 hanging baskets going strong, my wild rhododendron has just sent a few flowers out... the days are lovely for walking on the beach too.... I've just driven past some flowering cow parsley, the Acanthus is coming through quite boldly and Dahlias etc. are still persistent. I noticed some flowers on a wallflower a few days back, never mind Welsh poppies (but they've been flowering intermittently since the spring). There is hardly a day in the year when there isn't a Welsh poppy flowering somewhere in this garden. They are fantastic plants and because they're not exotic or showy, they're too often overlooked, IMO. AND our Euryops chrysanthemoides must be in flower 8 months in the year I should think. They don't seem to care if they're in containers or banks - another truly wonderful plant but not for cold areas. -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon (remove weeds from address) 'We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.' |
