Last of the Summer Flowers !

Still a lot of colour there Louise, your climatis Lady Diana is doing well lovely blooms

Wow-you lucky girl!! I love the clematis and gerbera's are another favourite of mine. The buddha is looks gorgeous too, adds a touch of serenity :-)

Your so lucky Louise, we have a few frost scarred Marigolds and a pelegonium left :~(((
I bet that was a hedgehog, scattering the earth, grabbing a last snack before he goes to sleep!

Wonderful photos of your pretty garden..
amazing how much is still flowering in the second week of November !
Lovely blog. :o)

Very nice Louise, there's still plenty of life left in your Autumn garden, and colour. That Clematis looks lovely. I was going to ask what it is but Morgana answered it for me, 'Lady Diana'. Is it one which you cut right back in spring?
Your garden must still be quite full.

I love the Schitzostylus Louise, such a pretty colour, do you know what variety it is? I have the red one, still flowering well but will definitely look out for this.

Lovely to see so much, and particularly the butterfly. Am struck by the variegation on your Hydrangea - which one is it? The variegation on the one I had was distinctly white and green, yours looks yellow and green.

Thank you for all your lovely comments :-))

Mad, that's right, it 'is' Princess Diana - my favourite :-)))
Lily, that Schizostylis is Fenland Daybreak :-)
And Bamboo, it 'is' yellow and green, H macrophylla 'Gold Rush', which has pale pink lacecaps.
I have it to brighten a shadey corner of a north facing border.

All your hard work this year has paid off Louise....the garden is looking "delicious".....:))))

Fenland Daybreak....I just got that schizostylis last week!!...well its Fenland something....will have to check.....

Thanks Alice :-)
The colour of this one is a lovely pink and, it's supposed to flower late - through to December if you're lucky. So i was told !
I would have thought that depended entirely on a mild location though :-/

Hi Louise! You've made me take a fresh look at my garden and appreciate what there still is in flower, I've stil got some lobelias hanging on and also Morning Glory managing a feeble flower or two - but its just lovely to have some bright colour still.

All looking great, particularly love the scabiosa, very pretty colours - and those rudbeckias, each flower seems to last for ever.

Yes, it is Fenland Daybreak...and it is a pretty pink. The reason I got it was 'cos it had 3/4 lovely spikes ready to flower. It will be interesting to see how long it flowers "up here".......lol........will let you know..:))

You have quite a lot of colour in your garden yet.

Wow everythings still blooming in your garden Louise, amazing how plants never give up until they eventually are zapped by the frost!

you have a lovely display there Louise:)))

Ah, not the same one then, thanks for info.

You have some crackin photos there Louise and so much colour still, good for you.
I especially love the Schizostylis.

You do have some lovely flowers in your garden Louise and its good to see them. My Catanache is still flowering too but its in a place where its not seen at its best. I bought a Schizostylis "Pink Princess" this afternoon and I was pleased to see how well yours is flowering. :o)

Lovely pictures Louise. I love the Clematis and the Kaffir Lilies! You've obviously been having some late Autumn sunshine recently like us but I think ours is coming to an end after tomorrow.

Coming to an end, paul? Lucky you, its been horrible here in West London for the last 2 days - wet, dull, overcast, and cold, foggy at night - and all the time you've had sun!

No, not great last 2 days Bamboo, although we had a little sunshine this morning but looks like tomorrow is going to be very good and a little milder again. After tonight's rain clears. But then wet and windy for a few days, I think.

Lord, I loathe and detest November.

Wow Louise, such lovely colours! Your garden must be very sheltered.

I cant believe the gerbera. And I am definately looking for a Lady Diana!

I have bought some new clematis this autumn, I hope to be able to introduce them to everyone next summer.

I expect we live fairly close to each other as the crow (or sea gull) flies.

Terrible weather tonight - I hope our fences stay up and we dont get too flooded. This is where your terraced garden has its benefits!
