The harebells have been a great success Fairygirl, I have 3 or 4 clumps of them around the garden and this group has been the longest flowering. I have already got some seedlings germinating for next year.
I wish the blackbirds had eaten the pyracantha berries - I hope they don't go to waste, but with a cat prowling around our garden perhaps the blackbirds aren't taking any chances.
Thanks for the Hypericum name - I will look it up. The flowers are so dainty.
I love the little pulsatillas Iamweedy. A welcome bit of colour in late winter/spring.
They'll eat the red berried ones (pyracanthas) first GD. They still haven't started on mine at the back of the garden yet, so they must have plenty to eat just now.
The harebells are gorgeous aren't they? So delicate. I bought some cotton grass for the side of the pond too - those two plants remind me of the hills when I'm not out on them.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
The birds are possibly saving the pyracantha seeds for later when other such things has seem to have run out, ths berries are the snack of last resort when nothing is left. None of the fallen holly berries on the ground seem to have been eaten.
I must get some meal worms I have a robin and a black bird that seem to spy on me and stalk me around the garden, particularly when I am weeding.
I probably should stop talking to them or every one will know I am a crazy old woman.
Yes, you could be right Iam, our holly berries are still on the tree - although I did hear starlings (or were they mistle Thrush) in the tree recently.
Here are the last of my garden pictures for a while.The last Dahlia Ball Fusion, 2nd year of flowering.Rose Ruby Ruby again in it's 2nd year and just hanging on.A little bright ray of pink just outside our front door, perhaps garish but very welcome on a dull day, they don't close up during gloomy November weather.

Few views from the last visit to the allotment, there is little to show. Aftercrop sown a little late, but if the winter will be as late as in the previous years, it has time to grow up.The last, the late chrysanthemums have blossomed, last year they did not succeed. Even marigolds are ending.
I noticed a Wallaby laying under one of the Grevilleas at the back of the house when I went out to water some plants. He lifted his head then lay down again. I’m wondering if he is injured. They wouldn’t usually stay that close to us. I hope you can see him in the photo.

Love the autumn colours. Thanks.
Beautiful pics everyone, inspired me to send you one of my DA 'crown princess margarite' something like that ? Only been in a year, smells lovely

I love the David Austin roses, and that colour in particular. Thanks for sharing.

I’ll have to reduce the size a bit more.
