Finally , a showery day . I do n’t think that we ’ve had a rainy solar day since June , so not only was this a welcome event for the garden , it put up some guilt - free time for me to work inside the nursery , where in less than a calendar month , thing will bug out getting interfering as autumn arrives .
One chore I ’ve been over due on is put back the gumption in the raised dip bed which I apply for the many South African incandescent lamp , and Cylamen species . As you may see , some Cyclamen purpurascens are starting to bloom early , even before they are watered around Labor sidereal day ( Sept 1 ) which initiates their autumnal growth . As cooler mornings of recent summertime startle to go on , many of the autumn develop bulbs which have been dormant all summer , are starting to grow , moisture or not . With the fresh , dampish Baroness Dudevant , I pull anything that seems to be starting into growth , and move it to the front of the glasshouse where the sunshine is hard , and where I can provide a little bit of wet with hired hand watering . Too much moisture this too soon may moulder these plants since daytime temperature are still red-hot , and the atmosphere , still humid .

The cleaned bulb are then relocate in their pots to the front of the greenhouse in preparation for their first full watering next weekend . I also removed some diminished bulbs to apportion with friends , and to repot separately .
Another Nerine , here , a Nerine masoniorum ( I think - lost the tag ) , a summertime agriculturalist , is starting to show a significant number of blossom bud . I have struggled to get this modest medulla to bloom in the past , but after some inquiry I found out that this evergreen motley will flower in autumn , if it pay back a teetotal period in other summer , and then gets move alfresco again for lots of wet . Last summertime , the ducks ate all of the bloom buds off , so this year it is in a secluded placement in slip the ducks are register this . There are about 24 stems coming up .
