Apart from a few hours of rain last Sunday, the sun continues to shine, albeit with a cold bite to the breeze and a fall in nighttime temperatures. The humidity is palpable, and some flowers, such as the Oleander, have suffered from black mould on leaves and rotting flowers. Meanwhile, others such as the Plumbago, Diplandenia, Passionflower, Bourganvillea, and Hibiscus continue to thrive.
The Bougainvillaea continues to grow well
Hibiscus
Plumbago, Passion Flower, and Diplandenia
Six plus 1
I don’t know the name of this plant, but it’s worth a mention as it grows in full sun or deep shade. At the moment it is in flower.
That’s my Six for this Saturday, Folks. Do pop over to Jim’s blog to discover more Six on Saturday garden Bloggers

Great hibiscus! Large blooms. I tried to write you a note earlier in the week to your contact us about the sonnet. I love how you come out in favor of the trees. They need our support. I was wondering, since you come from England rather than Chicago, if you’d mind a tweak of three words; dis, dat, and bro to this, that and hey. Your love of trees really comes through. Thanks so much, Rebecca

That Bougainvillaea is stunningly beautiful along the roof line. Gosh I wish I could grow it like that. I always enjoy seeing displays like yours when I travel. Autumn made a brief appearance here (U.S. Upper Midwest), but we’re back to summer weather for the next week or so. Yay. The plants are still mostly green because we had so much rain this summer. Thanks for sharing the beautiful plants in your gorgeous garden!

Hi Beth, yes it is truly beautiful and I love the way we have persuaded it to grow as it does.
the temperatures are also due to rise here, too. We will see. The morning we had rain I noticed how the greenery changed–thankful after months of drought. But it was shortlived.

Hi trowel, they are beautiful but the pink paperery flowersV(they are technically not flowers but I can’t think of the name) are a pain in the butt. There is a bucketful on the terrace every day to sweep up … but it is worth it.

I’m going to suggest Asparagus densiflorus for your mystery plant. I saw Plumbago growing outdoors in west Cornwall yesterday, a first for me, I thought it too tender.

Hi Jim, yes, I checked out the plant and it looks the same. Thank you! The plumbago grows in a windtunnel aka it enjoys the force of strong sea winds straight off the Atlantic.with no protection. IT is now about 19years old. We have had some frost and low temperatures windchill. Dare I say it seems robust given the tough weather conditions.

Love the Mediterranean flowers, the bougainvillea is fabulous. Is the mystery plant a fern? Does it belong to the thorny stems behind it? Asparagus angusticladus?

I can’t help you identify the last plant. Is it the same one with the branches and thorns right behind it in the background, or is it just a support?
