Taking stock of flowering plants

I often forget when certain plants flower so I thought I would take a few photos of what is flowering in the front garden now so that I can keep track of them in the future. A lot of plants have been pulled out so that the garden is easier to manage and it is a bit bare at the moment but here are a few plants that are flowering at present. Yesterday was a 38 degree day so I am surprised any flowers survived the dreadful heat.

 Hubby has been experimenting with growing different colours of dahlias and here are a few that I like.

 



 

 

 

Then there are the Daylillies...at least I think that is what he calls them.

 

 They are quite pretty, aren't they?

 

 

I found this late bloomer growing under the camellia tree. All the others were blooming in September.

 

 

Last but not least...the Hoya is flowing at last. This is the first time I have seen it flower. It is so beautiful.

 

Now I just hope I don't delete these photos like I did last week and I should have a record of what is growing at the end of December when I check next year.

 

I also want to take stock of all the herbs we have as I want to utilise them more next year. As I said, it is so hot that I am surprised that anything is still flowering at this time of year. They must all be hardy plants.
