ACANTHUS SPINOSSIMUS

CAMPANULA POSCHARSKYANA

ECHINOPS RITRO

GERANIUMROZANNE

ROSATHE FAIRY

ROSA x ALBA ‘SEMI-PLENA’

CLEMATIS FLORIDASIEBOLDII

With thanks to J.P.McEnroe for the quote used in the title.

Unbelievable!! The only one I'm not surprised is flowering is the rose 'The Fairy'. I've seen mine flowering here in November with snow on it some years. But the rest.....amazing.!! Great blog. Thanks for sharing. :o)

Friends in the Horticultural profession tell us it's all down to 'global warming' Andrew.
We still had foxgloves flowering until three weeks ago- unbelievable!!!
The forecast for the West Country is a really cold spell, so we must all watch out!

Until the first frost last week I had nasturnium in flower and theres a geum and a calendula still flowering away.

It really is confusing. I don't know whether to be glad that the flowers are around for longer or worried that the climate is going haywire?

As amazing as the ones in Anella's garden, Andrew! Yes - I've still got summer flowers blooming, too. (at the moment, anyway!)

Still have some flowering here as well but just been out with the dogs and its a very starry sky again, so with that and the forecast for next week I think they are going to get zapped...........

Rachelsmum - this one was planted a couple of months ago and decided it ought to flower now. I cut the flower (and a couple of buds) off because I don't want it use too much energy before facing its first winter
