  • The rain has stopped so I crept out at dusk to see what I could find.
    Here's another survivor of the Great Begonia Glut of years gone by. Quite delicate and not at all blowsy like some of them.

                • Mine's a Zephyrine drouhine ?sp rose making a dramatic appearance against a heavy sky (that's my excuse for an overhead photo that didn't quite work.).

                  • Today I am back to one of my tubs I have posted this one in the past but an now running out of flowers to post, and am actually surprised that the tubs are still showing, ad normally by now they have been killed off with frost, all the flowers in the garden have been removed and shredded and are spread over the bed, just waiting on my day lily to die back, again usually gone by now but it has been a very unusual year, if there are no objections I will continue posting the flowers from my tubs and baskets, till they die off
                    So today its a tub with fibrous begonias and geraniums (pelargoniums)

                      • A chrysanthemum for today. Lid..s sell tiny little plants for window boxes about 6ins high. If they are planted in the ground they produce lovely plants like this the following year. Think they must have been treated with a dwarfing agent.
