I spotted this stunning African #iris aka Fortnight #lily, in Hawaii and, although it's a warm weather plant, the RHS says it could grow against a sunny south- or west-facing wall, or in a coastal #garden where frosts are rare. I'm going to try 🤞next spring #BloomScrolling #Flowers #Gardening

While most plants have faded by now, Chinese plumbago is just getting started. It bears clusters of cobalt-blue #flowers and green leaves that turn a fiery russet-red. It is heavily visited by late-season butterflies and Hummingbird Hawk-moths #BloomScrolling #StunDay #Autumn #Garden #Pollinators

I'm harvesting the last of my summer #garden salad greens, including these Garden nasturtiums, which typically #flower from midsummer right through to the first autumn frosts. Both the flowers and the leaves are edible and add a peppery bite to salads #BloomScrolling #KitchenGarden #FlowersOnFriday

Hollyhocks (Alcea rosea) are tall, classic cottage garden plants known for their towering spikes of colorful, cup-shaped #blossoms. Known as "outhouse #flowers", gardeners planted hollyhocks near outdoor privies to hide the unsightly structures #BloomScrolling #Pink #English #Cottage #Garden

This oil painting on board (sold) was painted directly in the garden in 2011 and shows an azalea in a pot, some pansies and a couple of decorative wooden birds. Also (hard to see) halfway up on the right our cat Millie paused to be included.

Penstemon 'Pensham Laura' planted outside the cafe of a stately home that I visited yesterday. A resilient, semi-evergreen perennial, it #flowers from July to October, and is highly attractive to bees, butterflies, and other pollinators #BloomScrolling #Garden #Autumn #PinkMon #MacroMonday #Pink

A spot of colour on a dull day, Campanula or Bellflower make an excellent ground cover, rock garden or border, attracting bees and butterflies to the #garden. If deadheaded, they’ll bloom until late summer or early autumn #BloomScrolling #StunDay #Flowers #Gardening

Tried to water the baby asparagus but the spout was blocked so I tried to shove the blockage down into the can but the thing inside shoved back.

What a lovely garden this was to sit in and sketch! (maybe I overdid the twiddly bits). There were two friendly white poodles wandering around and if you zoom in you'll see one of them sitting on the circular seat along with another sketcher.
