How do you keep everything so green still? I love the way Melianthus major holds water so beautifully. Mine is still so short I can hardly see it, water or none! And I'm another that has no answers to your questions. One thought about the astilbe is that it might get redder when it gets colder? But it should be red now, right? Hope you get answers!MulchMaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13848950758103138175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4685430032033752352.post-18761182322240477372014-10-16T04:54:51.128-07:002014-10-16T04:54:51.128-07:00Gracie girl ..

I can hear the gravel crunch as you do your walk about checking the gardens out! haha<br />That tinantia erectus ? reminds me of tradescantia with the shape of the flower ... so pretty and delicate.<br />I have to try some hardy alstomeria in my garden next year!<br />I have a few Colour Flash astible in my front garden and they have always coloured up wonderfully for me .. they go against the rules and take some afternoon sun .. and get a bit dry at times .. I am finding quite a few astilbe are more sun hardy and handle dry conditions better than thought!<br />You know you have a WONDERFUL garden girl! wink wink<br />Joy : )CanadianGardenJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18130452541076704075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4685430032033752352.post-73383023137613750732014-10-14T18:05:26.733-07:002014-10-14T18:05:26.733-07:00beautiful post, Grace!! beautiful post, Grace!!

Am I mistaken, or isn't the "Abutilon Nabob" a red Luna hibiscus? It sure looks like mine did. <br /><br />I'm loving the cooler temps but will miss the flowers on the deck this winter. It appears you will still have a lot of green around.

I think we must have similar aesthetic preferences, except your garden is more organized than mine. I'm learning so much from you, Grace!

Mine looks more like yours. I asked our very knowledgeable guide about it and all he could come up with was not enough sun. You just shot down that theory. I'm wondering if you and I just got inferior product (unlikely, since mine came from Joy Creek). I'll ask Maurice about it next time I'm there. Not much else to complain about in your garden from what I can see.rickiihttp://bannersbyricki.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4685430032033752352.post-39428422576180741752014-10-13T11:28:57.811-07:002014-10-13T11:28:57.811-07:00Once again I am totally amazed at the blooms and f...Once again I am totally amazed at the blooms and foliage of your gardens.
