I am sorry, but I got the date wrong and don't want to take the pics off and start again. I will just blame my cold. Sedum 'Autumn Joy' Nerine 'Bowdenii' This is my first Nerine of the season and I helped it to bloom by peeling the casing down. Birkenshaw Pudsey Hydrangea 'Vanilla Fraise' This is a deep pink now, but started off white. I have got to like it, but it needs propping up.

Never mind Cherry. It's only one day My Hydrangea paniculata is turning colour too ... I prefer them to the 'normal' ones. The colour on your Dahila is beautiful.

My Nerines are in bud - they won't be long. I also have a Colchicum 'Waterlily' almost out. That might be my first truly October photo.

Well, instead of the Colchicum, which isn't quite fully out, here's a photo of some of the Cyclamen hederifolium under the Horse Chestnut tree. They've spread this year - shame I can't get a photo of all of them at once. They look wonderful. image hosting 20mbPink ones. imagWhite ones. imgur

They are gorgeous Geranium. My clump of cyclamen is not that big.

Lovely views and lots of colour @hywel. I have cut my honeysuckle out and will dig up the roots today, but yours is gorgeous.

Do you know its name, @hywel? You're so lucky with your views!

Thank you Cherry Sorry Geranium, it was one I bought in a Hypervalue type of shop, for £1 ... and it was labelled 'Climbing Shrub' lol

That is amazing good luck @hywel. It looks like a good one. My untidy one is Lonicera 'Graham Thomas' and it is huge. It is not very special really.

Thank you Cherry. It isn't very big yet, and I don't think it ever will. Yours sounds ideal if you have a wall to hide or something similar ...

Actually @hywel I planted it to protect the two roses because it is very exposed and flat here. The gazebo turned into a kennel, so the dogs needed protection from the weather. I have worked out that roses do very well here and need no protection at all, so I am getting rid of the honeysuckle and will grow plants which reach about 3 ft to shelter the dogs on the east. The north has a curly ivy growing and the south and west must have plants to grow 6 feet plus because of the sun. This year, I must plant climbing annuals while waiting for the jasmine and ornamental ivy to grow up again. I think you went to sleep reading all this, but I felt like putting my plans in writing.

No, it's interesting, Cherry. Lovely to plan ahead. Our next project will be to remove the Escallonia which is too big, too woody and rather ugly. I'll have to plan what to plant there instead - it's a north-facing site backing on to the garage wall, if anyone has any ideas? My Kirengeshoma palmata is in flower and I managed to get a photo before the rain set in. screen shot on pc I think this Aster is A. sedifolius. I expect yesterday's downpours ruined many of my flowers. screen capture windows 7Sorry it looks a bit blurry on the screen!

It isn't blurry Geranium, and it's a lovely colour too. I really like it. Your Kirengeshoma looks interesting. Never seen one before ...
