Both clumps of ox eye daisies have now finished flowering. The frilly ones had been allowed to flow (nicely) and the common ones had stayed proped up well behind their steel support. The common ones had swamped the monkshood, which will, hopefully, recover.

Good late summer and autumn bedding for pots, and for beds if I can find space.

The purple loosestrife in the pond is the better, and later flowering, of two plants.

The cannas were bought last year and kept outside in their pots over winter.

I cut back all the tall non-flowering stems as low as I could. The photo was taken afterwards.

Four of the six woody stems were blown down in recent high winds, and broke off at the base. The photo shows the remaining two after propping up. I was going to do something about this plant anyway, as it had got very large.

Aster and phlox just coming into flower.

The Leucanthemum vulgare next to the path in F1 has stayed propped up, but is really rather too tall for this position. Perhaps a Chelsea Chop next spring will keep it under control. ‘Shapcott Gossamer’ has been allowed to flop, and is very effective.

Now 8′ tall in B1 and B2, although quite modest in a pot at the front. Surprisingly stable without being propped up, although there hasn’t been that much wind.

The lavender from the original garden near the garage is now enormous, but just coming into its own, and covered in bees. It seems to have stopped flopping. I suppose I shall have to reduce it a bit.
