End of August

By now, the Echinacea are past their prime and the Back Eyed Susans are on their way out. Harlow Carr (rose) managed to put out a few blooms. With nothing to really look at, I'm thinking of maybe a mass planting of lirope which are currently in bloom and looking good this time of year.

Today I discovered a surprise on my plumeria - an inflow! From far away, I thought it might be a bug or a cocoon of some sort, but upon further inspection, I was happy to see signs of flowering! Since it is already September, I wonder if there is still enough time. In the spring, I repotted it from a pot that was approximately 8" in diameter (its first pot from two years ago) to one that is about 14" in diameter and kept it in the shadier part of the garden.  Now that there are signs of flowering, I will move it into the sunnier part of the garden where it might be happier. Looking forward to seeing what the flowers look like!
