Choisya
We all agree, I am sure, that the summer has been 'challenging' to say the least. However, I resolved just to keep the gardens looking tidy and wish for better things next year. My choisya was looking particularly battered by some very heavy storms about 6 weeks ago so I apologised to it and then hacked it back somewhat. Out this week doing all my edges, autumn tidying, weeding, etc. and - lo and behold! - the sunny side of the plant is covered in flower buds, so it looks like some pretty weeks ahead for that small border. There's always something wonderful to surprise us when we least expect it!

It's been topsy turvy this year without doubt! The only problem might be a frost appearing and affecting the buds - fingers crossed that doesn't happen and you get a nice bonus
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Choisya is very reliable for a late flowering. Sometimes even has flowers for my New Years Day flower count, It will miss the next one though. I cut it off at the ankles a few months ago and it's only got multiple 12inch stems. No flower buds
