My Hedychiums are blooming and there is no better scent than white Butterfly Ginger! An unnamed Hoya is blooming for the first time, and my Moonvine is covered each evening in new blooms.

I bet that's wonderful. I don't know whether my little baby ginger will bloom this year or not! And that reminds me that we didn't plant moon vine at my parents' house this year -- drat, we almost always do that. Oh well!

Let me know if you need Moonvine seed for next year. I am sure I will have a ton!

I'm going to feed the Brugs heavily this weekend to see if I can encourage big flushes before frost. I've noticed lots of tiny buds forming and hopefully, I'll have tons of blooms before long.

Well, my ALOCASIA X 'BLACK VELVET' is blooming. Not real attractive, I have to admit, but it does have a bloom on it. The leaves are gorgeous.
The night blooming jasmine is about to burst into a frenzy of bloom. Tomorrow night it should be scenting the whole block.
Impatients are going strong as is the lantana. The red geraniums I have in a hanging basket are perking up and attracing hummers. The Fuschia is coming back to life, too.
I planted pots of asters and mums last weekend and the buds are opening up on those. The leaves are starting to fall off the oak in the back and I'm getting more sun.

Thanks Cheryl!

Laura, I was ecstatic when my Arum -- another aroid -- bloomed earlier this year. I hope your bloom is even more exciting. :-)

And you're making me look forward to the day when my little jasmine from the swap is big enough to bloom. I can't wait!

Thought I posted this before, but it appears to be gone!

I noticed that my corkscrew vines (vigna caracalla) have blooms on them. These are supposed to be very fragrant and will have to check that out this weekend!

Regina,
My bleeding heart vine has bloomed non-stop all summer long. In past years, it would just bloom in the spring and fall.

I don't think I've ever seen a bleeding heart vine in person. I think I remember seeing pics once or twice. I'll have to get one for next year!

That's all I can think of right off the bat...PC

The yellow flower that I couldn't name appears to be Pelargonium:

{{gwi:1290594}}

Nonono. Amongst other things, Pelargoniums (the common "geraniums") don't come in yellow!

I'm gonna slap myself up the head when we figure out what it is. It's a common plant, and I'm supposed to know it! I hate it when that happens....

Hmmm...Not a lot right now...my flower gardening really slowed down this year in favor of vegetables and planting shrubs/trees.

Moonflowers
Petunia
Echinachea/coneflower
Lantana
Globe amaranth
Caryopteris
Garden phlox
Spiderflower
Various sedums
Still some zinnias
Four o'clocks.

Can't get the cannas to bloom! Drat.

rizzir, your plant with pretty yellow flowers is Melampodium.

I need to do a walk-around and see what's blooming in my garden. From here I can see:
'Knockout' &
'Blushing Knockout'Roses
Crepe Myrtle
Rose-of-Sharon
Hyacinth Bean Vine
Sweet Autumn Clematis
Butterfly Ginger
A few straggly Black-eyed-Susans hanging on

Out of sight, but not out of mind are:

'Black & Blue' Salvia
4-O'clocks
Angelonia
Spider Lilies
Chenille Plant
Globe Amaranth
Celosia
Cleome 'Linde Armstrong'
Vinca
Impatiens
"Touch-me-Nots"
Melampodium
'Star White' Zinnia
Heliptrope
Verbena
Agastache
Gaillardia
'Clara Curtis' Chrysanthemum
a big, pretty, Rudbeckia (can't remember which one)
Hardy Begonia
Angelwing Begonia
Spilanthes ("Peek-a-boo" or "Eyeball" Plant

There are probably a few more that I'd find if I ventured into the heat to look!

TONS of sedums of course lol. Spider Lilies, my big Hibiscus, dahlias, too much to mention. But I can see the fast approach of Fall...and I'm ready.

Cheryl

Melampodium, Pelargonium... you can see how I got confused. They said Melampodium on Name That Plant, and I somehow got Pelargonium in my head... would you believe I woke up in the middle of the night last night and said "gee, did I type 'Pelargonium' as the name of that plant on the gardening site?" :-P

-Regina

Yeah yeah yeah!

I feel at least one atom less stupid now. I kept thinking it was "butter" something -- and a common name for Melampodium is butter daisy. But I shoulda known that!
