Lovely set of pics... very colourful :o)

lovely DRC- the heucheras look great together. I love your plants of colour - what is the one second from last - lovely red flowers:)))

Lovely blog Drc...Lots of colour still....I love your Heuchera bed...:>)

Thanks TT and Motinot. Its a Cape Fuchsia 'Candy Drops Paul, I have a white one and a peach one to.

Lovely pictures Drc....great blog. Im still cutting my grass every week too!
You have some gorgeous colour left in the garden....long may it continue :)

Thanks S

Lovely photos and a lovely garden Drc :)

Thanks Franny

Everything is looking so nice,..we are doing very well,arent we ? ..We haven't had our heating on yet,either..but the gas fire in the evening is plenty warm enough for us . I love your Heuchera bed too,and I hope you are recovered now,Denise..:o)

Thank you for the tour, Denise - I enjoyed seeing all your lovely plants! I like your Coreopsis and Gazanias. :-))

Lovely photo`s Drc, its grand to see so much still flowering, frost here this morning but not bad enough to hit the flowers yet, I was still cutting the grass weekly, unfortunately my mower is having treatment, stupid thing gave up the other day, hoping its not drastic , lol...

Thanks Bloomer I am feeling much better. Thanks Spritz and Lincslass

Looks great!!
Grass is still growing here, but flowers are all kaput, unlike yours.

Gosh! You have so much still in flower. What is the large leaved bush with the cream 'bobble' type flowers? (note the highly technical description!)Don't think I've seen it before.
Lovely garden.

It really does look lovely. Lots of flowers out here still too and certainly no heating - it never goes on until 1st November, whatever the weather. How mean is that!?

You have a lot of lovely colour in your autumn garden. The two roses are lovely & the penstemon is always a great favourite of mine too.

I had to laugh at Ojibway's lovely description Denise - it's a Fatsia japonica, Ojibway. I must see if mine has any bobbles on it - lol. It won't have as many as the one in the photo, because it's growing in shade. Useful and a great architectural plant!

Lovely blog Denise and lovely colourful photos. Pleased to hear you're feeling better.

Thanks, Spritzhenry, for the name of the plant. I've looked it up and, of course, it is not fully hardy and it would have to be, here. Ah well ....

It has been an incredible October, and your garden still has so much colour in it.

It's nice to have some late colour :o) All still looking wonderful with you

Looking lovely, Denise, with lots of colour ... may I ask how much sun/shade your Heuchera bed receives? ... I am concerned ny Heucheras will have too much sun where they are now ... really don't fancy re-siting them though! . . . . .

Thanks everyone its been a warm and dry time here.

How wonderful to see so much colour in your garden at this time of year - and they all look so healthy. I love that pink Schizostylis and the Heuchera bed.

Ah Denise what a lovely lot of colour left in your garden it looks great still.

Lovely lot of colour Denise, I enjoyed the walk around your garden.....

lovely pics Denise and still lots of colour there, :o))

What a fantastically colourful display Denise! All looking scrummy . . . I particularly like the white "daisy" type flower with purple markings (11th from the end!) - feel I should know, but can't think :((

(heating just gone on - silly me, shouldn't have been out in the freezing wind playing croquet . . .)

Thanks everyone. Hi Sheila 11th form the end is an Anemone St brigid, did you mean 7th form the end? thats an Rhodanthemum agadir - Atlas Daisy.

Well, maths was never my strong point, but yes - I did mean 11th - probably shouldn't have used the word "daisy"! That Anemone is new to me: how tall does it grow? Thanks Denise.

Lovely Flowers, Colours and Pictures;0))

Sheila Anemone 'De Caen' or 'St Brigid' are corms planted in the autumn they flower from Spring to July usually. The height is 4-8" and they come in all colours,well worth planting as they come up year after year. Thanks PansyPotter.

Thanks Denise . . . just in time then. :))

Certainly Sheila

fantastic plants :o)

Thanks Aleyna

Lovely! All those gorgeous golds and strong pinks..cheered me up no end! Im sorry to hear you were poorly D, hope you feel much better now.

Thanks Tetrarch, I am much better now.

lovely to see so many flowers still in bloom this late in the year, all due to your loving care I'm sure! Well done :))

Thanks Pam, still no frost here and its going to be 61 degrees on Saturday!
