Even though the sun is shining I need two jumpers on to feel comfortable outside today. Autumn has turned the Maple leaves and brought Redwings to the garden.
The pale pink Osteospermum seems to shine next to the red foliage of Euonymus alatus or Burning Bush.
I have quite a few 'hot' colours in bloom this week:
I have had these yellow and orange chrysanthemums for a few years. I bought the red one this week. It cost me £1: a bargain as similar sized plants were £6 on other market stalls. I love picking cheerful colours to put in pots next to the front door. These three are brightening up the border at the back of the garden.
Feeding the birds and planting spring bulbs has attracted another visitor to the patch .... he is cute but I'm not sure I'm altogether happy!

Beautiful October blooms! We've had our first hard frost... waaay too early. So not ready for Winter
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting and for your kind comment. Hope there was no real damage done. 2012 will certainly be remembered for the weather!
DeleteLovely to see you still have so much in flower still - I always wish I had more autumn flowering stuff planted at this time of year. A few things are hanging on though especially the cosmos still loads of buds but doubt they will make it now.
ReplyDeleteYou never know. We are promised an Indian Summer so your Cosmos might put on a magnificent show before the frosts get it!
