    @Dovefromabove, I see that stripey grassy plant is doing well.
    In London. Keen but lazy.

    Lovely colours Papi Jo.
    I wasn't aware that there was a prostrate form of Abelia.
    Thanks, @Joyce21
    I didn't know there was one before I chanced upon that specimen in a GC. I just wanted an Abelia which would keep closer to the ground not to hide the plants at the back!

    Lovely autumn pix everyone. Nice to see that mix of foliage turning, and flowers still blooming  :)
    I like that white aster @Papi Jo. Is that readily available?
    I really must take some photos of plants. Seems to have been just birds and hedgehog houses recently!
    I did take this a couple of weeks ago, when I put a bit of the new heuchera [Solar Eclipse] in a spot to see if it would suit. I like the combination of it , the fern and the primula together, so will plant those soon . 


    The Pyracantha berries are still looking good too.

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    Loving the Autumn pics.
    The October light is superb for showing off the Acer’s colour display. 
    Photo does not do it justice - it looks glowing, on fire! 


    My garden and I live in South Wales.

    Can't remember where I got my aster 'Monte Cassino' from but I don't think it's rare. It gives a splendid show of white all of October, after most of the other asters have finished. I absolutely recommend it. 
    I like your heuchera.

    @Lily Pilly  "climbing monkshood"? Wow! New to me. Does it die back fully in winter?

    Thank P.Jo - it looks nice. Not taken many garden pix recently, but these are from a couple of weeks ago.
    Mahonia starting to flower


    The new display shelf for my spring bulbs [above my storage box] and a few other little treasures. I can chop and change with the seasons, and put little cuttings in matching pots to keep the theme


    From yesterday - a little flower on the Clematis Miss Bateman

    and some fluffy seedheads on the Alpina Constance

    Autumn colours everywhere at the moment. First 2 pics not taken in my garden but in the center of my village. Those liquidambar (sweetgum) specimens give their usual show there.
     

    and in my garden a few flowers are still going strong...

    Clematis 'Samaritan Jo' still going strong

    Clematis 'Samaritan Jo'

    Penstemon 'Garnet', last flowers of the season


    Salvia 'Amistad', flowering on and on and on...
