Flowering in October 2009

[Lesley Cox]

A stunning Viburnum John, standing so strongly among its neighbours as if to proclaim its glorious clothes. My own small Galax is blood-red at present.

Despite first frost Cimicifuga simplex "Brunette" is still happy

[Lesley Cox]

That is a beauty Oleg. It is in NZ but I haven't seen it in flower. I think many more Cinicifugas should be grown.

[fleurbleue]

They are nicely scented Lesley 

[Cris]

By here some flowers also:

One Scilla autumnalis is blooming in an Hipeastrum pot
One Hymenocallis (dont' sure about specie: litoralis?)
Zephyranthes sp

[Sinchets]

Flowering now in the garden, though its days are numbered-
Venidium fastuosum 'Orange Prince'

[Ragged Robin]

That is a beauty Oleg. It is in NZ but I haven't seen it in flower. I think many more Cinicifugas should be grown.

Are there smaller ones?  I like their growth pattern and spidery flowers - and of course the scent is very attractive especially at this time of year.

Orange Prince is probably the one plant that got me hooked on daisies.

[Michael J Campbell]

Isn't this a little late to be  flowering.

lovely notocactus, michael!
it is flowering later than average for the north, though i'm not positive of the full season for this particular species, but many of the south american cacti would have a longer growing season in habitat than light and/or temperature in western europe or northern north america usually allow, so if they get a warm sunny fall, they can certainly go longer... a friend who grows cacti in a warm sunny greenhouse in florida has flowers all year on many species

[Lesley Cox]

The only Cimicifuga I've seen in bloom is C. americana, a lovely thing, fluffy and lacy all at once. I think most are tallish Robin. Small species would be very nice.
