Can you show us a photo?

spaceal · 09/09/2014 20:53

Should be 3 photos there. I can see them...

1 dierama
2 Can't think of the name..
3 some kind of lobelia at a guess

Liara · 09/09/2014 20:54

Ah, now they've shown up.

I'd say the first is stipa tenuisisma with gladiolus byzantinus, the second is an osteospermum, and the third is a sage (salvia).

Salvia.. Not lobelia.

Wow! Thanks! Very speedy responses! Thank you! I'll do some Googling now I have names.

Are there lots of different types of salvia? That photo looks very different to the salvia in my garden.

Loads.

I've got a really beautiful one in my garden called amistad.

MaudantWit · 09/09/2014 21:02

Going L to R, I think they are dierama (looks too droopy for gladiolus byzantinus), osteospernum and salvia.

There are lots of salvias. The flowers in the photo are identical in shape (but not colour) to salvia Hot Lips.

spaceal · 09/09/2014 21:22

It's some sort of salvia microphylla (or baby sage) it seems.

I saw another dierama the same day, dierama igneum, but the one in the photo is more purply, or even mauve.

One last photo attached here.

Thanks so much for all your help!

Lot a clue about that one, sorry :(

The Stipa tenuissima is probably 'Pony Tails' - we got lots, as they self seed quite readily. Look lovely this time of year with the sun through them.
