More gorgeous flowers and plants, I'm really enjoying your album of photos Shelagh 

The Passion Flower and Euphorbia are glorious and I too like the Lovely Grass (wonder what its called?)

Diane why is Belamcanda chinensis now Iris domestica? Who decides these changes?   

In this case, it's Goldblatt and Mabberley, who have changed the name, based on DNA evidence.

Belamcanda chinensis

and the relevant paper by Goldblatt and Mabberley is here:
http://www.jstor.org/pss/3393403?cookieSet=1

Abstract from the paper
The eastern Asian genus Belamcanda (Iridaceae: Irideae), with its sole species, B. chinensis, the leopard or blackberry lily, has long been understood to be most closely related to Iris dichotoma (syn. Pardanthopsis dichotoma), but has nevertheless been maintained as a separate genus because of its distinctive floral, fruit, and seed morphology. Molecular DNA sequence evidence shows B. chinensis and its sister species, I. dichotoma, to be nested within the large Northern Hemisphere genus Iris (ca. 280 spp.). Not only does consistent taxonomic treatment of genera of the Iridaceae require that Belamcanda be transferred to Iris, but we argue that taxonomy should follow the principle of monophyly, which requires that Belamcanda and any other genus nested in Iris be treated as members of that genus. A new combination, I. domestica (basionym Epidendrum domesticum), is made for B. chinensis (based on Ixia chinensis), because the name Iris chinensis is preoccupied. The names Belamcanda pampaninii Léveillé and B. chinensis var. taiwanensis S. S. Ying are here included in the synonymy of I. domestica.

It is impossible to keep up with current changes, but this one has been around since 2005.  The current version of The Plantfinder has not yet taken this one on board

Lovely visit!
4678 looks like Cosmos sulphureus.
4685, 4687 appear to be buttonbush, Cephalanthus, perhaps Cepahalanthus occidentalis.
4703 is Euphorbia marginata.
The unknown grass in 4696 looks like a Pennisetum.
4708, 4709 looks like a milkweed, Asclepias.

Thanks Lori, I think I shall have to take you with me next time.

Sorry folks, got carried away again.  This patch is at least 12 ft long.

[Maggi Young]

Thanks, Shelagh!
Yes, that stretch of the Lippia = Phyla nodiflora is heading for world domination, isn't it? Nice though!

Thanks Diane for that extract on Iris domestica.
