What's still out in your garden?

This is a selection of flowers I have in the garden still in flower.

And just look at the berries on this.

We've still got a rose in bud in the front garden and we've even got primroses in flower as well.

Your garden loks lovely Ed - this is from my little front border, but way at the top of the back garden OH still has shrub fuchsia and several others in flower.

My David Austin shrub rose and strangely enough the Jew's Mallow having a late flourish and it's cold here.

Loads of primulas tooo, white and purple and these, 

This is the last of my Japanese anemones (my favourites) and some potted begonias that just will not give up the ghost.  They have been a great succes this summer.

I think its lovely to still have colour in the garden. It makes the winter seem shorter though sadly there is a chill in the air today.

What lovely things still growing.

I have cosmos flowers - mad they are!  Also raspberries (autumn fruiting ones), some fushias, about a million little teeny yellow tomatoes and a load of weedy, scraggy things!

Fishy, did you see my comment about you on the Halloween photos thread?  It's ok, it is a compliment!  I love Cosmos and throw a packet of seeds into my wild bit every year, but they're all gone now.

Ed - have you read a gardening book Beth Chatto's Gravel Garden? - it's great and she's specially good on drought resistant plants, which suits me, why make your job harder, lovely photos too.

Thanks Carol I will locate a copy agree anything that makes life easy is a bonus.

I have osteospermum, fushias, cosmos, gazania, some spring flowering plants too! I must take a piccy of them, I have at long last some batteries for the camera...

I have dianthus primroses begonias and yellow poppies. The lovely tall pink flower in the photos has never flowered before it is a bulb and I only ever get leaves.

[rainydaywoman11]

Ed - is the tall pink bulb not a Nerine?  We can't grow them, too cold.

[ed_blackadder_1]

Ah yes that's it. Thanks Carol its everso pretty.

We've got begonias (which regularly flower for 9 or 10 months in our garden), fuchsias, cyclamens, campanulas, geraniums, nerines and a plant with grey ferny leaves and a tiny yellow flower.  At the allotment we've still got nasturtiums and calendulas.

[captainbovine]

oh yes, we've got nastursiums too, and a kind of crocosmia, lovely flowers that will last all through November!

Isnt it nice to see all the flowers we all grow throughout the year?
