We've still got a few flowers doing their thing here in November. The first one - Lonicera purpusii (winter honeysuckle) - has only just started. The scent from this one flower is amazing:
Having dead-headed the Anthemis tinctoria 'E.C.Buxton' after it's main flush in summer, it's kept some flowers going well into November:
Only planted this Persicaria 'Fat Domino' this year and it's looking promising for a regular long display:
Clay soil - Cheshire/Derbyshire border. I play with plants and soil and sometimes it's successful
Not in my garden I admit but seen today in Sheffield Botanical Gardens. We weren't really expecting to see a flowering plant at it's peak in mid-November. Not fully hardy I'm told especially on their heavy clay soil but amazingly they forgot to take any cuttings last year and the parent plant survived! I know it's a Tropaeolum but not sure which one. Anybody?

Just put the covers on the benches outside , the frost proofing on the tap and saw the colours on the acer up close (the blue in the photos isn't the sky - that's a leaden grey).
It is amazing after weeks of gale force winds, heavy rain, and frosts, their are still "beding plants" to be found in flower! I know this tree/bush is not everyone's favourite, but in winter I love it. This too has bounced back. My "dying" flamingo willow, cut back by over half in height, has rallied. It will even need a trim in spring. P.S. the bricks are the stand for the night camera.😁
