I had it in the wrong spot Shirley_tulip (I guess). We will see if it will bloom next year.

😘

Thank you Shirley..I love the fact you can change the flowers and foliage so often.

Thank you both...it is 20 years old! Must be pruned next year.

You did really well Shirley. I have done nothing in the garden today. It’s cold! Brrrr! What I’ve noticed on my walks though is the Fuchsias are looking beautiful everywhere! My neighbour has one that thinks it’s July! I’m afraid I took mine out, except for the tender Insulinde which is still looking lovely. They weren’t doing it for me. Niamh was disappointed as she calls them Ballerinas and liked to pick them when she came. I might get a standard one next year. Anyway…your garden is so neat and so many flowers still. I hope it doesn’t get too cold!

Prunus are generally best pruned while in growth Sheila, to avoid disease. I would generally do this in August. X

Haha Sheila, whilst outdoors today I saw a huge Bumblebee on a yellow Welsh Poppy ... odd to say the least!

Indeed it is ... I now have four around the garden.

Such a winner!

Thank you Shirley!

It has never looked so good before.

Ok!

Lovely Julia 🙂.

Thanks Shirley, it’s a tree in our road by the cafe where I hold a French conversation group.

Marvellous photo ... :o)

Sheila, stunning colours ... thanks for sharing this.

So many plants are still blooming ... we must enjoy and not ponder over why!!!

Sheila, I have never been able to grow these so I shall admire yours, in early November!

I bet the top corners were tricky as they look so similar!

Julia, this is a lovely display.

I love the detail of this flower.

Love these.

This is a lovely photo ... well captured.

These were a favourite of my dear Mum, she planted them in straight rows alongside the garden path! I hate things in straight rows ... :o))

I thought it looked like an Orchid when I first viewed the photo ... it is very pretty.

My goodness, that's taken a long time to bloom!

Mine is just starting to bloom and is in the only room without heat.

And another Wow from me ... wonderful colours.

Josie, looks like early Autumn in your garden, not early November. All looks lovely.

Some years ago my sister had two very heavy rectangular stone planters stolen from the front garden ... they never heard a thing and were told the planters were probably taken to a car boot sale!

This is very attractive.

Lovely, I do like Pittosporums.

It is a little strange, but the Hibiscus seem to like the fall and spring for flowers - probably because of the rain.

Wow! Just wow!

I’ve posted hundreds of pictures of Plumeria trees flowering since 2008.

Thanks 🙏

It’s a favorite flowering plant. I have several plants in the ground.

Thank you 🙏

Crotons are famous for their brighly-colored leaves.
I have 4 different varieties in my front and back yards.

Thank you both.

Is it unusual for the leaves to stay so long? My Prunus Autumnalis has quite a bit of blossom now, but it’s practically hidden by the tree still being in leaf!

There are only about a dozen berries left on there now.

That I've done in the past!

It's such a versatile container. Thank you so much.

Sarah Raven does sell them but there are other sites...they are pretty.

Caught just in time DD!

😀

Hi DD...in the immediate foreground there is a Pittisporum Gold Star and Salvia Hotlips.

Yet around here few birds seem to eat Firethorn berries! There are lots of them around town & they can go through to the spring without being touched!

A beautiful plant, Wylie!

They must be a magnificent sight in flower!

Very nice summery picture to it Ff.
