Aw thanks, Janey! I must say, I'm with your daughter, I love all the autumn related things, pumpkins, candles, Halloween etc..my little sister is a Halloween baby. She's 50 next week. I'm a November child, but still within the season πππ

Many thanks, Julia! I gathered a few while tidying the rockery earlier this morning.

The first picture is so gorgeous. You have a very nice view in that direction Bushbernie.
Sorry for your Calathea . They are lovely plants. I have one called "Calathea rattlesnake " which has done nothing in 2 years . It does not look sick , it just "hangs in there", in the same shape and size as I bought it.
Your Syngonium have a nice pink leaf colour which looks good against the greenery.

They really are stunning in the sun.

Great! I've just done the same this afternoon Karen. Still more to plant though.

Your Calathea was a beauty BB, I do hope it recovers well. There's always some creature ready to decimate our lovely plants isn't there..:( Slugs and snails have been so bad over here this year. With the rainfall we've had they've really enjoyed summer! I'm still picking them off my plants, end of October!

Nice to see. I have not seen a bee around my garden for weeks now. But ....,I do not spend much time there either.

It was beautiful, just us,a few dog walkers and fishermen. Thanks Kate.

Oh dear BB the joys and disappointments of gardening.I was wondering what sort of damage the grass hoppers did..you mentioned they completely devoured the Cordyline, fingers crossed for your present ones.We don't see many over here.

Kate, it's really strange that the berries are not being eaten by birds yet. Perhaps they leave the yellow ones until last, unpleasant taste perhaps?
We actually saw a female Blackbird on the garden fence yesterday so I hope she returns with her mate soon.

Thanks Kate, it is doing really well at the moment so fingers crossed it stays that way. Did you lose other Hebes then?

Thorneyside, I am more than pleased with them, good flowers and a good root system too.
Thanks Kate, I will post a photo when they're all in bloom.

Klahanie, I'm sure they would have loved you to have crocheted some Poppies for them!

Josie, the gates are decorated for Halloween. I have been trying to find out about the 2025 calendar they have, allegedly, produced but it's frustrating me right now! I shall enquire about it this week.

Such a pretty autumn crocus, Jane.
I've never grown Rosemary prostrata, you've given me a thought for the rockery.
Your Disocactus has a very attractive flower, you must be very pleased it's doing well!
It's been a lovely day here, warm sunshine and we caught up out in the garden too. Hope you've had a lovely day!

I, too, need a break from IT. It's become so stressful as things get more complicated. Us oldies aren't considered when they make changes to programmes, removing this and that and replacing with something totally different.
Frustrating, to say the least.

Lovely bloom and lovely name too!!!!

I'm loving the colours too...very late summer, autumnal.
I hope you will overwinter.

Klahanie nailed its description!

That's good to hear Karen. What will happen with the land opposite? A grassed area?

I, too have buds. Also primroses, primula, campanula and spring cyclamen. The poor plants are confused by the weather.

It's been quite warm in the sunshine here, Karen. Spent the morning catching up outside.
One of my Lavender Augustifolia is still flowering, I'm loathed to trim it.

I do like these little pale pink flowers.. I'm.with Bernie, they must've moved on...they'll be back though.

Lovely to see them flourishing too.

Have a therapeutic break, Hywel...I fully understand.
If it wasn't for me needing to use computers for work...I'd have a complete break or a holiday for a short while.
Take care. Catch up soon x

It's certainly blooming well, gorgeous shaped flowers, lovely vivid colour too.

It is looking pretty attractive, love the blue flowers. A favourite colour in the garden for me.

That's a striking colour! Must look really attractive blooming all over your garden.

Bet the fruit is pretty tasty too..interesting info on this plant, Andy.

Lovely bargain there, Shirley! They will look really smart in your blue pots.
On photo - Cyclamens for the blue pots.
Really sad to hear this, Shirley..it looked so attractive too. As said before, a safe haven and roosting spot for the birds..
Doesn't sound to good now, with lots of weeds etc in front and back garden..what a real shame.

That's a pretty one, Shirley. Lovely to see it blooming through autumn.
Many years ago, we had an upright white flowering one. The only Hebe that actually survived for several years!

I'm liking this one too, Shirley. Only red and orange around here.
I'm really sorry you're not seeing the blackies so much now. π
Is it to do with next door chopping down a lot of their trees/shrubs?
We still have many visit here, I'm counting my blessings.

Lovely form, Shirley. Abundance of berries too...perfect for those hungry visitors.
