More Garden flowers

Since all these plants are introduced, and cultivated it is probably not much to do with nature blogging, but they are attractive and might brighten the screens of those in the Northern hemisphere whose Fall/Autumn/Automne colours have passed on.

I'll begin with another batch of Dutch Irises growing in the sunroom bed.
We - and particularly Frances - have put a lot of effort into clearing the periwinkle out of this bed and it is beginning to pay off.  This has encouraged me to get serious about removing the rest of it from the surrounding areas.

Another 'project' has been to train this plant for which we use the formal name "Yellow plant" across the wall of Frances potting shed.  It too is paying off.
We had read some details of how and when to prune Wisteria to promote flowering so at the appropriate time wielded the secateurs (it wasn't quite rampant enough to require the chainsaw).  Despite some initial doubt the work is paying off.


Things get even less natural.  This Azalea is not only an exotic, but its growing in a pot!  It is however rather attractive!
