Octobers flower displays

Here's Judy's double pink oleander seedling.....it's absolutely beautiful in real life......

Mya,is that one of the cuttings or the seedling I sent?

Seedling Judy.Remember I said in a previous thread that my yellow seedling was starting to bud ,well this is it.I must have somehow got them mixed up when potting up ,so I'll have to see what my other 2 seedlings are going to colour up to.Neither of the 2 seedlings have buds yet,even though the weather has been somewhat tropical the last few weeks.

It's lovely. I didn't realize they grew from cuttings. Actually, I didn't know they grew from seeds either. I don't know much :

Awe Beautiful!!!!
Umm I just saw on Facebook that Liesa is in Hospital, pop in and wish her well over in the broms thread.

Mya thanks for a peek at Judy's lovely Ollie. Wonderful.

Mya,I think that may be N. splendens --not one of the seedlings...I must have sent you a cutting.

Still waiting for my yellow oleander seedlings to flower. Meanwhile, here is the native hibiscus Abbey's Tangerine/Abbys Tangerine. A small rather spindly plant that hopefully will fill out during the growing season, but the flower colour is lovely.

And here's another of my beaumontia. The tendril climbing up the downpipe has now burst into flower too, as have several other tendrils. I didn't realise before but the flower has a yellow tinge.

lookie here

Hi Mya and everyone. Lovely rain here in Sydney. Long weekend so hopefully dash in and out to get in some garden time. Nice Cymbidium Anthony.

Here are some wet Hippies!

as long as the rain stays away next Sat for my brother's wedding!
he says they need more to green things us around here (Liverpool) but it isn't as bad as last time we visited - 7 years ago it was baking hot & the tail end of a drought...

Lot's of purple in my garden this Spring.
This is a little Primula sieboldi yobisugata...how's that for a mouthful.
A Snowflake Primula to most of us..

Cestrum,how would you describe the Beaumontia fragrance?
Wayne,Looks like the rain was just pouring down..not only are your hippies gorgeous but look at that backdrop! :0)

My tame Thunbergia grandiflora

Beaumontia? Smells like spring! Pleasant cologne-like fragrance, mild but stronger than the moonflower. Doesn't seem to waft--perhaps it's too high. Worth growing, though. I will have to cut mine back when it finishes flowering or it will crush the downpipes, so I can send you some unrooted cuttings then.

Erythrina in flower again. (It's growing in a large pot beneath the old clothesline, but I'm pretty sure the roots have escaped thru the drainage holes and anchored themselves into the soil.)
Colleen--your seeds came from this plant. Note that the backs of the leaves and the stems have spines.

Salvia Wendy's wish. Unscented, but I like the colour.

Yellow shrimp plant, *still* in flower.

Erythrinas are lovely, despite those thorns....love the sound of the Beaumontia.
This Vireya loranthiflorum has a beautiful spicy, sweet perfume.

Your vireya sounds like it smells lovely. I often find it difficult to describe fragrance unless it's something obvious (I think I've done a poor job in describing the beaumontia's perfume and wish that someone else who grows it could give their opinion).

Bunnings has vireyas but few of them are in flower and those that are--the coloured ones, so far--are unscented. Fortunately so, because I don't want to grow rhododendron-type flowers here (did that in Melb). But I know that if I saw a scented one I would be *compelled* to buy it, so fingers crossed that I don't come across any and can concentrate on the sub/tropicals LOL

Odd partners

Judy, your brugmansia is wearing a garland of bougainvillea LOL

Again

Those odd partners make a glorious picture. Totally beautiful

Beautiful Judy. Your garden must be heaven at the moment with all the different flowers. Colleen

Thanks everyone for your nice comments. Yes Colleen,it is just starting to really come into it's own now.BTW cuttings were posted out yesterday.

Bartlettina sordida

Found Oleander...first time it's flowered for me

What a lovely collection of flowering plants. I would love to have a garden like that.

My friend's epiphyllums are flowering now, and she has hundreds of buds to come. Her plants are not named but I love going to visit, especially now mine aren't flowering this year. I still get to enjoy the flowers, and hers are the same plants as mine.

Karen

A very pretty pink.

That is a very pretty Epi you have there Karen :0)

...Flowers on this are becoming bigger and more beautiful by the day...it reminds me of a Frangipani to which it is related :0)

Lovely blooms everyone.

Thanks Judy for the update on name change; Bartlettina sordida.

Here are a few blooms of Wisteria and Clivea.

Echium

Echium and other plants. The "sticks" are what remains of Iboza after the frosts.

Chinese ground orchids and Judy's Canna.

Really lovely flowers everyone.......love the Bletillas Wayne..I had some once.....and those Kerria pieces that you gave me are off and running...thank you.

Judy, those flowers do seem to be very large and very pretty....Do you have any more of your OS seedlings left to flower?

This is Azalea.Jezebel.
