Things don't have that tired look of August either in your garden or around here.

Hope you get the rain you need to keep your poor plants happy!<br />The Tree fern has its own special winter jacket and it moves into the greenhouse when it gets cold.<br />That plum colour of C.

You have so much colour and so much of interest to enjoy. We haven' t had a drop of rain for weeks so I feel a bit doomy when I look round my poor thirsty garden.<br />Wow! I love the tree fern. Will you wrap it up for winter? <br />Clematis purpurea plena ' Elegans' is one of my favourites.

Cotinus 'Grace' is one of my favourites other than it is late coming into leaf and the growth can be somewhat lax. I rarely see flowers on mine as I have kept it hard pruned but the neighbours have built an unwanted extension so I am going to give it its head from now on so I should get "smoked" next year.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7249587176933768298.post-62145105548739352942014-08-05T07:17:03.771-07:002014-08-05T07:17:03.771-07:00Hi Nadezda, gosh, I didn't know snails ate cle...Hi Nadezda, gosh, I didn't know snails ate clematis flowers, is there anything they don't eat!!Hoehoegrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00745640711509233722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7249587176933768298.post-4477872752441847612014-08-05T07:11:37.022-07:002014-08-05T07:11:37.022-07:00Hi Endah, I totally agree, I hope this summer neve...Hi Endah, I totally agree, I hope this summer never ends - we are having such a good one.Hoehoegrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00745640711509233722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7249587176933768298.post-42467828983771397472014-08-05T07:10:30.740-07:002014-08-05T07:10:30.740-07:00Thankyou for your kind words !Thankyou for your kind words !Hoehoegrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00745640711509233722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7249587176933768298.post-58425375709775886712014-08-05T06:50:42.116-07:002014-08-05T06:50:42.116-07:00Hi Jane, I've been thinking about our sense of...Hi Jane, I've been thinking about our sense of doom in August.....perhaps it's an instinct that's built into us humans and some are more sensitive to it than others.....the growing season is coming to an end and our ancestors had to hustle to make sure they had provisions for the winter.....what do you think?Sallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16914703548887252991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7249587176933768298.post-31876548904359165552014-08-05T04:02:19.019-07:002014-08-05T04:02:19.019-07:00Jane, lovely beds!

Magnificent cannas, and your dahlia is clearly very happy too, you encourage me to consider putting dahlias in my park border and just let them get on with it. You have loads of colour left, but mostly I find myself admiring all the lush foliage.
