The Garden in September (Part One)

I was at work this morning, so by the time I took the photos this afternoon the sun was not at a great angle. And then half way round the garden, my camera battery went flat. So here is the first half of  what's in flower at the moment.

Starting in the back yard, with the appropriately named spring stars:

Anemones:

Cyclamen:

Hebe:

Jonquils:

Flowering quince:

Out the front of the house, the most striking thing at the moment is the first lot of tulips in a large pot with three different varieties in it:

The thryptomene is covered in flowers, but I didn't manage to get a decent photo of it. The lavender and rosemary are also in flower, but then, they nearly always are.

Lots of the magenta pigface is flowering, but the blooms were closing by the time I was out taking photos. So here's a yellow one which still had a bit of sun on it:

Forsythia:

Daffodils:

Camellia:

Californian poppy:

The blue stuff in the background is borage, which is flowering profusely.

Viburnum tinus:

Euphorbia (one of several different varieties):

 

 

Also in this area the abutilons have a few flowers, but they get their photos taken every month!

 

 

In the vege garden, strawberries promising some sweetness to come:

In the orchard, the peaches

and the nashi pears have started to bloom.

 

This hellebore did not flower at all last year, but it is doing a great job this time:

And then my camera told me that the battery was exhausted! So it is now charging up and the rest of the garden will have to wait until tomorrow.
