Hello Rosemary:
ReplyDeleteThere is so much of interest to see in your garden for so late in the gardening year. We have so enjoyed our tour.
Garrya elliptica was a firm favourite of ours in our gardening days. First seen we think at Bodnant in North Wales and then hastily tracked down by us for those slatey, silvery catkins which are so very unusual.
The colour: beautiful, Rosemary....these days are the precious moments before it leaves us for another Winter :-)
ReplyDeleteI love those catkins too Jane and Lance, and as you know they get better and better as the season passes on and they open up more.
ReplyDeleteLast year Kate, as I am sure you will remember, we had snow by the end of November.
ReplyDeleteHi, Rosemary - Your garden is amazingly colorful for this time of year! The Garrya Elliptica appears to have ice on it! Here in Florida, when we get a freeze, the strawberry growers spray their plants with water so that they'll get covered with ice. Ironically, the ice protects the plants against the frost.
ReplyDeleteThe weather has been so kind to our gardens this autumn - it's amazing what you still have flowering and looking pretty amidst the autumn colours. Lovely photos - thank you!

Dear Mark - It does look like ice, but in fact is only the remains of a light rainfall. Amazingly we have not had any frost or really cold weather yet - fingers crossed.
ReplyDeleteDear Alix - I just felt I needed to capture them quickly before they go, especially the geraniums.
ReplyDeleteamazing colours! can`t believe poppies are still alive!!!
ReplyDeleteyour garden is devine : )
Thanks Demie - these california poppies are much more hardy than the other type.
ReplyDeletejust beautiful! it's so cold and windy here there is nothing like that around. i only just discovered your blog - it's nice to get a little window into your world.
ReplyDeleteHello Rosemary!
ReplyDeleteYour garden is so beautiful in november! Thank you for sharing with us!
Very beautiful flowers, colors festival!

This new camera is really doing the trick Rosemary, wonderful scenes! The colour on those Hydrangeas is magnificent. I’m familiar with Garrya elliptica, as it’s a regular favourite on our college ident tests!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful autumn garden and some very beautiful pictures. Well done.
ReplyDeleteDear Meli - it's lovely to hear from you, just like having an old friend pop in. I have been up and running since eldest son, living in Norway, set it up for me.
ReplyDeleteHello Marius - so pleased you enjoyed seeing the garden
ReplyDeleteDear Antonio - it is lovely that there is still so much colour around at this time of year.
ReplyDeleteSo pleased you enjoyed the photos Fotokarusellen I always love seeing your pictures.
ReplyDeleteDear Bertie - The Garrya is one of my favourite things in the garden during the winter.
