September 2012, Bloomday…

I wasn’t going to post for this bloomday, there’s nothing much new to report and it just happened to fall on a Sunday, I thought I’d skip it. But then I noticed how this Kniphofia bloom was glowing, how could I not take a picture?

Plus you’ve got to share late summer Canna blooms when they happen! Canna 'Durban'

And Canna ‘Tropicanna Gold’…

I was driving down the street one day and saw a few of these sitting on a curb, free ‘Tropicanna Gold’ for the taking...score!

Musella lasiocarpa

My Hibiscus syriacus 'Red Heart' has been blooming for months now. I love this plant!

The same goes for the Hesperaloe parviflora, blooms continue to open along their arching stem (much to the delight of the hummingbirds).

Ipomea horsfalliae

Grevillea juniperina ‘Molonglo’

The Eucomis Oakhurst blooms are getting tired

Several of the Araliaceae are kicking out blooms… Metapanax delavayi

Schefflera brevipedunculata

Schefflera delavayi

And Fatshedera 'Aureo Maculata'

The mahonia are also starting to open their blooms, Mahonia fortunei 'Curlyque'

And Mahonia x media 'Charity'

And finally, visual reminder of the season, Sedum 'Autumn Joy'…
