just a few pics of flowers today in the sun while it lasted…

Scabious ‘Ace of Spades’ still going strong..

Campanula ‘blue waterfalls’ is doing well too….

the last flower on my Fuschia this has had a hard time of it this year…

My Harebell is still going well too..

Helenium Puberulum ‘Autumn Lollipop’ still loaded up..

Oxalis Versicolor first flower on it..

The colour hasn’t come out that well in this pic but it’s a nice purple colour.

still loads of flowers on these too…

The Schizostylis Coccinea is also doing well…

Firework grass with the lack of sun here it’s producing a lot of the green leaves..

Thanks for looking.

The Oxalis survived in an unheated glass house for years so probably alright down -3c or 4c colder than that could be a problem, I lost other things in the two bad winters and I am of the opinion that it was the prolonged freezing killing the roots and tubers.

Cheers Brian, i'll keep my eyes on them.
