The Garden in August

The Delphinium above (maybe the Sky Blue and White) has bloomed for the second time. Apparently this does not always happen with Delphiniums but I followed some instructions which seems to have worked. There are now four flower spikes, a little lower than the one spike that flowered in June.

On the subject of repeat flowering, here are some other examples starting with the Weigelia Red Prince.

Then the Dianthus that are in pots in the side patio.

Some of the roses are back in flower starting with the Blue for You.

And this marvelous white rose.

Then this double colour mauve rose and one in pink.

Next is what I thought is a Euphorbia but I maybe wrong, growing out of the stones next to the path by the back door. 

The Salvia in the large pot by the fence has a couple of new spikes but nothing like in June.

Elsewhere in the garden, I have a separate post on the bedding Dahlias. The two large pots either side of the front door  have a mix of pink and white Impatiens that love the sheltered spot.

What used to be the round hot bed at the far end of the garden is undergoing a replanting. In the meantime here are the dwarf Sunflowers and the taller Cosmos, both of which I grew from seed!

I actually moved three of the Sunflowers to a bare part of the main border. The mauve Geranium next to them is also flowering again.
