NOVEMBER BRINGS THE COLD.

I do not know where October went! We have been very busy with other projects in October and now that's finished and things have calmed down.
Well almost as our youngest daughter gets married this month, so we will only be tidying things away for the winter in the garden and doing the jobs that must be done until this next event is over by which time we'll be almost into December.

But I thought I would share a few photo's of plants that have come back into flower due to the mild weather we have had up till now.


This little pot of pinks which flowers so well over the summer has burst back into flower in the last few days.
Paul's taken some cutting's of this lovely plant so hopefully we will have more to plant out next year.


The beautiful pink noisette  Ballerina Rose is also in bloom!



even this honeysuckle is full of new flowers!


The Iceberg rose is still reaching for the sky with it's blooms.


The Melianthus Major ( Honey bush ) is getting bigger than we have ever seen it! It's so big that we will need to move it once the frost's and cold weather have caused the die back, to another place with more room, so another job to do before winter sets in.


Even the fuchsia's are still going strong!


The pelargoniums still going strong along with the yellow, evening primrose you can see behind.


more flowers.

So this was still all on show this weekend but tonight the cold weather and even colder nights have arrived so over the coming days that plants will finally decided that it's time to rest for the winter and go back to sleep.


I will finish with another photo of the pinks, because they are looking so nice and deserve the honour.

  1. Congratulations on your daughter's marriage.

    Last month We saw beautiful flowers of fuchsia in Greenway, Devon, where we visited. We have no fuchsia in our garden, and I want to have one.

  2. Yes, I too still had some flowers still flowering really well in spite of it now being well into Autumn. It did seem such a shame though to have to cut back most of my exposed Geraniums but with frost and -2 being forecasted for Thursday night I decided to bring them indoors to try to save them for next year.

    Your tidying up and sorting out last month is paying off and all is looking good.
