Cosmos still going and survived the battering of the wind last week. Some cyclamen flowering and a white aster - can't remember the name, but very tall with small white flowers, really lights up the border. Japanese Anemone put on a good show but I cut them back last week because leaves were looking tatty. Fuchsia "Army Nurse" flowering profusely again - first flowered in May - hardy fuchsias still going. Penstemons are looking very healthy but no flowers! Most things starting to die down and lots buried under Autumn leaves.
hi Iainey2, can I ask whereabouts you live? just so I can build a mental picture. Like yourself I have a real mix in flower - dahlias are fabulous as no frost as yet. My strangest flowerings are a cowslip and a bud on an oriental poppy....I live in the NE.
Lots of verbena, penstemon, fuschias, cosmos, sedums and Japanese anemone, some roses and germs which have flowered non stop through the summer!! Also have some geraniums still flowering with bacopa!
I know there's several asters and chrysanthemums.Some aconitums and miscanthus. Cyclemens coum and cilicium. There's some very tall yellow daisy types that may be some sort of helianthus.
I'll go and have a look around tomorrow and see what else

Whoops meant Geums!!!!
Roses, lots of them, different varietes
Cosmos, coreopsis, dahlia, verbena bonariensis, trafescantia, Salvia (annual), sedum white and red, violas, heuchera, fuchsia 'delta sarah', calendula, nasturtium
Never fails to amaze me how much is still in flower
I still have cosmos too, marigolds, cyclamen, geraniums (should get them in) -
lots of everlasting begonias going very strongly still and masses of honeysuckle
growing high on the wall where it catches the sun. Hope the strong winds
here tonight don't flatten everything.
