The sedums have done exceedingly well this year and mine is still in flower. Not much more to do in the garden for now except to mow the grass again.

Im just waiting to get a dry day so I can give the lawn a last cut and trim the edges. Then it will be clearing up the fallen leaves and protecting any vunerable plants. Roll on spring;0)

Its Pulmonairia [common name is Lungwort] the leaves have white spots on them and the flowers change from blue to pink as they open. a good ground cover plant with rapid growth.
