the flowers are such a pretty blue, really love them.
I bought some new plants today, put them into the garden, except for a mini clematis that I just put into a bigger pot.
I couldn't resist another white azalea but it is a different variety, my others are Azalea indica, this one is a Rutherford hybrid 'Alaska'.
I still would like to put a rhodie in behind it against the fence.
There was a lovely one on TradeMe for $16.50...
Decisions decisions.
my baby clematis in it's new pot, I under planted with pansies to act as living mulch...
if they don't do the job I might switch to alyssum.

my little corner of the terrace, I potted up 3 hebes as well as taking some herb cuttings & the clematis today.
The rose is one Mum gave me, Compassion.
I have already transferred one direct to the garden - I didn't want to risk having both cuttings in the same pot.
So nice to see you getting into the swing of things in the garden dalfyre especially since we are shutting down for the winter. It is exciting to think of you there in your part of the world looking forward to a spring and summer while we prepare to shovel snow and ice, yikes.
The white azalea is beautiful, so fragile looking. Mine actually bloomed a couple times again this year. I don't have white but I have one that is white with atouch of light rose. I have several rhodies and they just don't want to bloom. I think in 20 years of having one it bloomed twice and the others I have about the same. I put my coffee grounds on them and that seems to inspire a few blooms but not much of a showing for the age of the plants.
Just dropping in to share my vigna caracalla which is now in bloom, almost forgot I had taken the photo 2 days ago, just got them uploaded last night.
Yes BB same ones just another thread ^_^
And finally
love the colours on that vigna, reminds me of some of the magnolias around here.
There are quite a few different ones, from pure white to deepest burgundy & many shades between :)
That vigna is very interesting!
Last day of September...
that went fast!
Fingers crossed we start October with some sunshine ^_^
I dont know if there is a thread started yet.. but I will do it if it aint!
Oo[s! Did not know you volunteered first dalfyre.. you go ahead and do the link! Maybe we will have just one October then? Linke SW's September there too!
Thanks it is quite unusual. Think I am gonna have to do something with it this evening as it is supposed to go down to 44 and my tropicals should not be out below 50.
Well, I have some how managed to find more room in the house...bringing the plants in made for a good excuse to clean up junk to toss! Seems things can sure pile up.

October thread...
I woke to a coo,l grey day, sometimes spring & autumn weather is so similar it is only the plants flowering that gives it away.
