Its a type of Spanish Bayonet,..very palm like,..i have another as seen in the attached picture,..taken in June this year,..they look good in the garden,..but many people here lost them with the winter temperatures down to -19C,..of course that was a first for us.

Very nice collection of stragglers, Phillip. I am envious of you. I can almosy smell those lovely Lathyrus examples.
Thank you Sjoerd, the Lathyrus were a great success and as for the scent,..beautiful!,.. will certainly grow them again next year.
Your stragglers are exceptional! :-D Here is one of mine: Pink Roses & Blue September Sky ( photo / image / picture from stratsmom's Garden ) I know you have plenty of pink roses but this is my only one :-D This is the one I'm trying to propagate off of a cutting Your sweetpeas are AMAZING!!! What color combinations!
Now that is a lovely rose,..and against the blue sky background it makes a lovely picture,..how are you getting along with your cutting of that rose.
Hi Cheryl, i have every confidence in the "Gaillardia" becoming a resident in the garden,..but for some reason it was slow to come to seedling stage and so the reason it still hasn't reached its full colour,..however if we have more days like yesterday then it surely will,..we had temperatures in the garden of 26C-78F.

Your season lasts soooooooooo long. The flowers will soon be asleep and only memories and your garden will sustain the wonders that were summer. Great stragglers!! Thank you Philip. Jerry
Hi Jerry, nice words indeed,..yes our Autumn lasts until the end of October,..but even now its very warm,..but the temperature fluctuates from high to low within hours,..with mist or rain as a bonus,..or punishment. The plant below is one i tend to overlook,..i have about four of them,"Ophiopogon planiscapus,'Nigrescens',..and they do flower. ( photo / image / picture from Philip Nulty's Garden )
