    A quick whizz around part of the garden between lunch and showers - there are more,  no time to enjoy them today apart from a quick aim and snap. Californian poppy - another plant that seeds freely.Harebell - direct from Scotland, dainty flowers, strong self seeding plantsPyracantha - white flowers and then these lovely berries - there is a red or orange berry version tooMy Mum, a rose that is struggling in our garden, I will try harder for next yearMorning Glory, still producing flowers after a shaky startGallardia, the bees love this flower and so do we - still plenty of buds - I wonder if they will open to produce more beautiful flowers this year.
  • A few more from the garden today.OsteospermumDahlia Mary Evelyn - the bees love this oneCotoneasterLily BelladonnaA fruit tree of sorts, grown from an apple pip and inedible to humans and the birds aren't interested eitherOx-eye daisies in our wild plug patch

    Love that Dahlia 'Colour Spectacle' @Nollie. Your late borders are looking great @Perki

  • How beautiful these single petalled camellias are @bullfinch and so early, which part of the world are they in? Our first of the season usually appear towards Christmas time.

    Hello @Guernsey Donkey2, we live in Surrey, not far from London. It's an autumn flowering camellia, so I think it is probably not too early, though perhaps slightly earlier than last year. On a different note, my daughter and an old school friend have just spent a few days in Guernsey, from her photos the scenery is absolutely beautiful there 😊

    Amazing, lipstick red flowers, @edhelka!

    A good few of my perennials are having a second wind, like Salvia Caradonna, Agastache Blue Boa and this Helenium Waltraut. It had totally gone over so I chopped the scruffy, dead stems back. Then these appeared:

    Interesting plant. I see you have "classy" metal supports. Did you make or buy them?

    Oh, lazy me bought them, @Papi Jo. They are a bit more discrete when the plants are in full bloom!
