That's a brilliant Cotoneaster Floydie. I've cut mine back so it's not so good this year.
Geranium that erysimum is a nice colour. I keep meaning to get one. And your clematis Freckles is flowering I can see. I've got a small one in it's first season. I don't suppose it will have flowers this winter.
I like those Cobaeas Lou. I tried them last year but they didn't flower. I didn't get round to it this year but next year I hope to try again. They'r a lovely shaped flower I think

Wow, what a difference. I thought more berries were produced if a bad winter was on its way, perhaps this is a good sign.

Is the Arbutus unedo a Strawberry tree? Is it the one with edible fruit? It is edible, but it does not taste too good and I would not even try it.

I am on catch up and all the pics are gorgeous, especially as this is November. The Datura looks different to the normal sort. How can they be any prettier, but they are.
Grindle, the Prunus x subhirtella 'Autumnalis' pendula 'Pendula Rubra' is extremely hardy. I did not put the proper name on it as I have forgotten whether it is rubra or rosea and will look it up. I do love the tree.

I know I have one of the Prunus, I think rosea, but I can't remember if it is pendula or not, it is very slow growing

The one which is not weeping is just as beautiful and comes out earlier. In fact, it would be coming into flower now, so we will wait and see what you have.

Rain over the last few days have caused loads of fungi to grow my bark chip paths. They are not particularly beautiful but they are quite fascinating.

I begin by trying not to tread on them but eventually I have to take the barrow through and they get squashed. Nothing seems to eat them and I certainly wouldn't want to.
