Bathsheba (more orange than usual), Westerland (less orange than usual), fragrant cloud (more red than usual orange) and munstead wood(always flowering)
More winter containers and some autumn flowers.
I also planted lots of winter bedding plants. They are so tiny but cheerful. My winter honey suckle cuttings have been growing well. Hopefully they will cover the fence over time. There are huge laylendii trees at the other side of that fence. Very tricky place for anything to grow.
@newbie77 - great photos! What a lovely big garden.
I tried to sort out my pot of tulips. Took everything out, mixed more dry stuff and sand in, left the soil out on a sheet in the sun to dry out a bit. Then mixed it back in. Hopefully that will have worked.
I was too scared to actually water it in to check though...will have to wait til it's rained!
Meanwhile indoors we're dealing with fungus gnats. Sticky traps everywhere. Hydrogen peroxide drenching the pots every few days. Also just hunting the buggers down wherever we can find them. Must have squished at least 50 yesterday!
The autumn garden is probably has the longest lasting colour I've ever had - all over. Nachtvlinder and Royal Bumble salvias are covered in buds. Dahlias Rip City and Llanduff are at their highest point of the year. Feverfew and Nabob are budding. I miss having cosmos, though. I find them always best around now.

Managed to mow lawn even with wet grass. All looking so neat for few moments. The tall Poplar tree and apple trees are starting to drop leaves...
Some of my winter containers on patio. I planted loads of winter pots this time.
And beautiful autumn colours on tree on road in front of my house.
