This summer I’ve felt rather disappointed with the lack of flowers on some of my Agapanthus plants, despite coaxing with seaweed feed and daily watering. But nearing the end of October, just as the clocks are about to go back, this little flower head is doing its best to bloom. With frosts just around the corner, I doubt if it’ll make it to full size, but amazing to see it nonetheless, and interesting that finally enough accumulated heat and rain has triggered this Agapanthus into flowering a whole 3 months later than usual.

Lovely and very welcome even if out of season. And I have just noticed that two of the four Anemone japonica ‘Madame Honorine Jobert’ that I planted four weeks ago are about to burst into flower. Less surprising though since we are still in autumn.
I’ve had the same thing! Had a first flush quite late, now got a second lot developing / flowering. Everything is confused.
Same story over here – my borage is in full flower and my chilli has re-flowered and is growing more pods! At least all the green tomatoes have ripened but the plants must surely be in for a big shock soon!
Thanks Sue and Caro for your comments and as Colin put it so succinctly, everything is confused indeed! Been keeping an eye on night temps just incase I need to quickly haul in a couple of more fragile souls from the garden, but so far, the mild nights continue. Will be interesting to see what happens next year with all these late bloomers.Naomi
That’s one confused agapanthus (to join our confused climbing rose!)
Yup, I have climbing roses still flowering too!
