Here we are my lovelies back up to date just in time to say goodbye to September and with it the Summer.
I have rather neglected taking photos of the front of 'Delargo Towers' lately. This is particularly remiss of me as it is rather cram packed with plants this year.
Asarina scandens
as indeed is the main border.
Cleome and Nicotiana mutabilis are still flowering - but this is the month for the Salvias to take centre stage.
That is apart from Salvia transylvanica which we grew from seed this year. It is alive and in the border but not doing much, perhaps next year.

Salvia 'Amistad'
Salvia uliginosa
Salvia guaranitica “Blue Enigma”
Salvia farinacea “Sally fun”
Salvia patens “Patio Deep Blue”
Ipomoea 'Heavenly Blue'
Monarda hybrida, 'Bergamo'
Our new 'hot border' will need a bit of a rethink for next year.
It has worked but will need a boost of new plants next year.
The 'Spanish Flag' - Ipomoea (Mina) lobata is just stunning and flowering non stop.
Although the pots have not had all the attention they deserved this summer - I am sure they would have liked a bit more regular watering and feeding (mildew!) - but hey there is only so much you can do. Even so they are still looking fab.
Dahlia 'Bishops Children' -
Dahlia 'Early Bird'
more 'Bishops Children'
With 30 types of Fuchsias there is no space to feature them here.
Now that I have caught up with myself on the The 'Delargo Towers' Garden posts I shall give them their own page next time.

We can just about get in and out of the back door.
So much nicer than concrete.
Nicotiana sylvestris has done very well this year both in pots and in the front. It has been in flower for ages.
Mirabilis jalapa, the 'Marvel of Peru'
Another one of my all time favourite plants Zaluzianskya ovata - 'Night Scented Phlox' .
Cobaea scandens 'Purple'
Calibrachoea ('Million Bells')
Well there we are.
I am so pleased, nay relieved, to be back up to date.
Till next time then me dears, when we will see what October has in store for us.
