THE SUNSHINE AFTER THE RAIN.............

lovely colours and pictures ~ what is the plant in the tenth picture? and is the 12th escallonia?
i have a poppy out too ~ the welsh yellow one like yours ~ they have been out since march i think! self seeded! but the larger poppies have long gone.

Dd its great to see so many still in flower especially on a grey foggy day........

Lovely photos....you have such a lot still blooming in your garden...I'm sure it's giving you lots of pleasure on these dull days :) and it's brightened my day too! :)

You are so lucky to have flowers this late on in the year Dottydaisy. We have a lot of evergreens with beautiful berries, but apart from a few sad marigolds, pink geraniums and cyclamen of course the season is finished here.

Nice blog Dotty, still lots of colour in your garden. My flowers are pretty well non existent now. Coloured leaves though.

lucky you Dotty,i love Salvias & have a Hot Lips & i think its called Angel Wings ,your pics are great :o)

is angel wings the starry white one with the purple stamens?

What an amazing array of late autumn flowers! Lucky you! Enjoy them...hope the weatherman is wrong...it does happen!! :))

Fab photos... please identify pics. no. 6, 10 and 15.. thanks :o)

Stick,the one i have is like a royal blue colour so i may have the name wrong ,there was no label on it when i bought it but i may google it later..:o)

I have one or two flowers left but nowhere near as many as yours Dd, its lovely to see them this late in the year. :o)

Lovely pics Dd....there's still lots going on in your garden...love the Alstromerias, these are on my wish-list next year...:o)

alstromerias are very good value for money i think, mine have been out for months ~ and still are
thanks joanella, royal blue sounds very good.

Love the Viburnum tinus "Variegatum" and the Astranta, in fact they are all great and still giving pleasure in this month. Great pics DD.

lovely to see some colour dotty, glad you still enjoying some, mine all over now till spring, lovely pis to :o)

Sticki and Tt -
10 is an Astrantia,
6 is an Alstromeria (I don't know its name, though!) and 15 looks like a Skimmia to me.

Is that right, Dd? Lovely to have flowers out in November, isn't it. :-)

must remember that one ~ its very beautiful

Gosh....thanks all for you kind comments, and bless you Spritz for naming them for me I was in rather a hurry when I put these on.........will try and finish it off properly.

Great to see so much colour this time of year DD.:o))

This is a lovely, bright blog, Dd, for such a dismal couple of days! Brings back memories of summer, now long gone! :-((

Thanks for sharing them with us! :-))

Yes, I'd guessed skimmia etc... would be interested to know the exact varieties when you have a moment please... Thanks.

Lovely flowers you still have like most of us mine as all gone for this year.

Thanks Clarice it helps the winter pass when there is some colour left in the garden....

You have very well in your garden especially for this time of year. Credit to you DD2..........

Thanks Louis, we try to have some colour all the year round.

How come when I look out of MY window all I can see is white?! Thanks for your lovely photos. :)

Your very welcome BenJ........

What beautiful collection of late bloomers!

We are already having some very cold weather in this part of Spain, very much out of season. I am on the Costa Brava, only 30 miles from the French border and 3 miles from the sea. Normally in this time of the year we have cool dry weather which is lovely, roses usually last till December, but this year it is raining and we are already bordering freezing temperatures.

Thanks Btg........

lovely pics .... no snow where you live , we got 5inch .;0)))
