Different climate, but it has been a good summer for Dahlias - "Otto's Thrill"' has been this years favourite, it is currently a mass of pink 10 inch flowers. http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/… Tiger lilies and crocosmia are towards the end of their flowering season. >I am seeing the first signs of autumn. Cyclamen hederifolium has been flowering for a week or two. Nerine angustifolia are flowering, and Nerine bowdenii flowers are about to open. -- David Pilling (North West England) email: david@pilling.demon.co.uk web: http://www.davidpilling.net/
