curiouswombatOctober! Soon be Christmas...
Here is a quick garden post - pictures taken on Thursday before we were hit by heavy rain and 55mph winds. Although almost everything survived ok, as it happens!
These were growing on the remains of a tree stump;
There are still roses in bloom, and still buds to open if they survive today's storm;
(That's the one that grows in the middle of the lavender.)
And here is some of the lavender with some of the nasturtiums in the background;
Dotted around the garden, the hesperantha are beginning to flower - a sure sign of autumn;
The cotoneaster is heavy with berries - my grandmother would have said it was a sign we were in for a hard winter. If today is anything to go by she might have been right. The birds are glad of these.
And the new Clematis Montana Marjory planted last summer as little more than a twig with some leaves has grown beautifully up and onto the railings around the decking, just as I had hoped;
A spot of yellow, still; this is one of the evening primroses, although they have not done as well this year as last.
And in the pots in the area between the house and the garden, there is still colour in some of the posts;
And the first of the winter cyclamens is coming into flower;
