Lovely to still have butterflies @pitter-patter. Thin on the ground, and on the plants, here this year. Weather hasn't been great for them. I love that chocolate scabious too. Haven't done many pix here, but these are from a few days ago
Mahonia almost flowering. The ones right at the top of the shrub are almost open Last few flowers on Niobe
Thank you - I have tons of that Heuchera @Liriodendron - very useful for any empty spaces One plant - split umpteen times over the years. Good value - and the flowers are great for bees. I swap the stuff in that pot because it was my Dad's old container for stripping musical instruments [with acid] and weighs a ton ! No holes in it, so I just keep an eye on the water level I might even get that area finished properly next year. Ideal for pots to be moved around for different seasons.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....

It certainly seems to be. There's a couple of plants in that one - it's a lily pot too, so narrow and tall. Multi headed, so a good plant for all sorts of places in a garden too. I'll certainly sow more next year and play about with it in different places.

They flower in November here @Big Blue Sky, so it's pretty much as normal. I love it when the blackbirds move in and strip the berries off them
Fancy schmancy @AuntyRach Very pretty. Lots of trees are bare here now, but some are a bit later than usual, so we may get some colour for a while longer.

A scene from my garden today. A golden-leafed Beech (next door’s tree), Acer Bloodgood (left) and Acer Palmatum Dissectum (right).
(low resolution sorry)
