Yet More Flowers !

Yummy!!!!!!!!!!!!
I like those waterlily colchicums....not normally keen on them but these are lovely.....

My colchicums are 'out' now, Louise, but aquilegia.....no! What on earth is going on...they're really doing well to be still flowering at this time of the year! Mind you, it's a long stretch between Somerset and Aberdeen!

My Michaelmas Daisies ( asters, sorry! ) are just thinking about coming into flower....'Little Carlow' is the first...

Lovely photos!

B, they've only just started to flower again.
They flowered prolifically in the spring, then died down and now, this past week or so - buds have formed ... and this morning they'd opened !
Goodness knows what's going on here !
About three weeks ago a Pulsatilla flowered - that was just one rogue flower though, not the profusion of buds like this has !!
Very queer goings on !!!!!

Lovely Louise, Beautiful colours.

Pulsatilla in SEPTEMBER?! Whoa......now that's very odd! Mine are at that nice 'fluffy' stage but no rogues up here.
Very queer indeed...though it's been a very 'mild' summer/late summer ( up here, anyway ) so maybe that's what's encouraging things to keep trying?

Gorgeous flowers Louise

Beautiful flowers and gorgeous colours ! :-)))

Maybe B.

I thought that spring plants knew when to flower by the temperatures, i remember Alan Titchmarsh saying that !

So, if that is the case, why would the Aquilegia and Pulsatilla be triggered ?
It'd hardly be the temperatures because we're cooling down 'now' and in spring we'd be warming up.
I wonder if in that 'inbetween stage' the temps. are similar thus triggering it ?

Thanks Dawn, and Sue, and Doctorbob :)))

Lovely, lovely photos and flowers!!

Lovely pictures Louise, speak to you later. x

Wonderful purples Louise...waterlilies are fab! Temps here tonight were 66 degrees (old money!) at 7pm!

i'm pleased someone else works in "old money" Fluff...lol

Lovely photos Louise esp the Colchicums and Asters

Oh dear Louise first showing first signs of daylily addiction, lol, bought 'Forty Second Street' myself this year, only have a couple of other doubles, been buying a lot of spider forms this year.
Love the colchicums :-)

Smashing pics and lovely flowers Louise, I'm very pleased to see all the flowers you grow and photo, my gardens all flowered out now and I havent seen too many here either( that time of year I supose) good on yer petal!

The cupid's dart & aster are another combo for my list. You have a great eye for flowers playing off one another!
