Very lovely gardens!  There is still lots of bloom in some your areas, it seems.  There's been no rain here since mid-August, so it's getting very dry.
1) Clematis 'Blue Boy' winding through a nannyberry, Viburnum lentago.
2) Solidago 'Goldkind' with Telekia speciosa.
3) Veronica spicata 'Blauteppich'
4) Agastache pringlei from the mountains of New Mexico and Mexico
5) Our native Agastache foeniculum
6) Another native, Liatris punctata.

Great to see so many attractive plants flowering, bravo!
All burned out here,the autumn rains have come, so soon the colchicums and crocus will be flowering!
Prospering ( to my surprise ) in a deep humic soil in the shade of a plum tree is
Tricyrtis hototogisu

Gerd, a lovely selection. Your Acidanthera bicolor is now Gladiolus murielae I have it too but the leaf growth this year doesn't look as strong as in previous years. Maybe it suffered in in our bad winter.

Interesting that you grow Crocosmia in pots. Is it just that one or do you grow them all that way?

[Gerdk]

Thanks for compliments and correction, David.
I grow Crocosmia aurea in pots because I was told it is a tender species - but never tried to test this.
I wish you a great holiday in Spain - now I'am a little bit envious!

Crocosmias are grown in pots also because in milder climates they can be rampant!

I hear they are rampant on the east coast of Newfoundland too. This one seems to be fine here. Might be worth trying some in the ground with caution Gerd.

This is an australian orchid hybrid - Pterostylis pulchella x abrupta. Probably now a Diplodium.

Then polygonum vaccinifolium just approaching it's best:

The lovely annual Ipomoea caerulea:

Stokesia laevis:

Very nice 'Diplodium' Darren, more graceful than it's parents perhaps?
