Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day September 2018

I'm a little later than usual as yesterday was a 14 hour work day and I had an early morning appointment today.  Nonetheless, I got up literally at the crack of dawn to see what was blooming in my zone 8 Northwest Washington State Garden.  No one  wants to miss Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day, the delightful meme hosted by Carol at May Dreams Gardens!

Most of what's blooming this month was also blooming last month with a few exceptions:

Crinodendron hookerianum bloomed heavily this spring and is putting out a few blooms this fall as well.

It's hardy cyclamen time!

Colchicum autumnale

Tricyrtis AKA toad lily

Now, for the repeats...

Despite a continuing battle with powdery mildew, there are still a few tuberous begonias.

This Begonia boliviensis must have seeded itself   because I certainly didn't plant it in a pot of pelargonium wintering in the greenhouse last year. 

Russelia 'St elmo's fire'

Fragrant cloud decided to put on the heaviest show of the year just in time to be battered by the rain.  Neat.

Some other roses.

Angelica purpurea AKA Aphid Magnet.

My one dahlia that simply won't die despite being treated horribly, left outside in an unsightly plastic pot.

Petunia 'Starry Night'

Meanwhile out in the greenhouse, Brugmansia 'Charles Grimaldi' has decided to cover most of the greenhouse with a curtain of glorious and fragrant blooms.  The plant always times this spectacle to occur after all the garden tours are over. 

I have to take pictures so that people know that this actually happens.  

Fuchsias and abutilons continue. 

Cannas are mostly finished. 

Roscoe

Hydrangeas are taking on their autumn tones. 

Japanese Anemone

There are a few more begonias hiding out here and there. 

Aloe somethingorother (also spelled toolazytolookatthetag.)

Bromeliad 

Kalanchoe.

There are a few more stragglers out in the parking strips but nothing you haven't seen before.  Hope you have a fabulous GBBD!
