Next doors mahonia is looking great. Reaches just below bedroom windows and is tipped with wonderful yellow spiked bowls which catch the sun ( when we have some). Might post a pic later.
Wow some really colourful gardens still going strong in November. I have some pink cosmos, deep pink hollyhocks (well just the top blooms), my Pierre de Ronsard rose has not one leaf on it but there are at least a dozen big blooms, primroses have made a comeback and the tall yellow daisy like flower (helianthus?) is still going strong. The sedum is just turning brown now. I also have some mixed pink geraniums looking reasonably respectable in window boxes. Oh yes my choisyas are in full bloom too. It's a lovely sight in autumn this year.
Still have begonias, New Guinea busy Lizzie, pelargoniums, lobelia, all doing well in pots dotted around patio and garden. Garden is still full of cosmos, antirrhinums, penstemons, and the garage roof is covered in flowering honeysuckle.Pinch me; it is November isn't it?
Consider yourself pinched. It is indeed November and Monday is a public holiday here in France so I know what I'll be doing all weekend. Already the sun is shining and there is a glorious golden glow across the garden. (The tiny downside is that it shows up all the grime and finger prints on my windows - but who cares). I must go and check the forecast...
its all wonderfull is it mot all those flowers, i have hardy fuchsias still flowering and i have new shoots on my peony just popingthere heads out of the ground

I still have French Marigolds in full bloom. Although we have had three nights of frost here in Aberdeen, so I do not think they will last long.
Begonia in a hanging basket still in an unheated greenhouse, also an annual fushia hanging on in there.
