Glorious colour Sue!
ReplyDeleteRain featured heavily in my last lot of pictures too... it adds something I think.
It does add something, rusty I love photos with raindrops on and it was when taking one of these that I noticed looking through a raindrop turns everything upside down.
DeleteBeautiful. I especially love the fuscia, it's gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteIt is, CJ maybe I should have stolen a cutting!
DeleteSome glorious colour there. I lost my Chinese Lantern, I think they're so pretty, especially as the lanterns start to deteriorate and go all lacy. Must look at getting another, though I think I've got a packet of seeds so I should have a go with them.
ReplyDeleteOnly the top two photos were taken in our garden, Jo, the rest were last week's garden visits. So I don;t possess a Chinese Lantern plant either.
DeleteIs that Fuschia 'Hawkshead' Sue? I have a couple of those in my garden too and are still in bloom. They cope very well in the ground here but suprisingly the one I have in a big planter has been decimated by the winds - the rest are fine!
ReplyDeleteI don't know, Linda as it was growing in the grounds of Dunster Castle in Somerset which we visited several days ago.
DeleteLove the chinese lanterns - I tried growing them last year to no avail.
ReplyDeleteI've never tried growing them, Elaine. They were growing in the garden at Barrington Court in Somerset that we visited on the 6th.
DeleteGorgeous colours.. I love the purples :o)
ReplyDeleteSo do I Julie
DeleteBeautiful photography, Love the crotoneaster(?). I have got one and ther birds rely on it in winter, such a joy to watch in winter. That fuschia is beautiful and delicate.
ReplyDeleteIt certainly had plenty of berries, Sharon so the birds are in for a treat.
DeleteLook at the berries on the Cotoneaster - certainly those little birds will be very grateful in the coming months. Chinese lanterns are gorgeous. Have never tried them before.
ReplyDeleteThey will Angie, As I have mentioned in previous comments the Chinese lanterns aren't in our garden.
DeleteOooooooh....what can I say, some gorgeous images here...loved the violets and that lovely little blue flower.xxxx
ReplyDeleteViolets? The blue flower is a vinca or periwinkle, Snowbird
DeleteGlorious.
ReplyDeleteThank you Janet
DeleteYou know how to take a lovely picture Sue- fabulous!
ReplyDeleteThank you for that, Jill
DeleteWhether in your own gardens or on visits, Sue, you've captured some of the loveliest colours around at the moment. I'm seeing those purple asters everywhere this year and was lucky to spot physalis and teasels during garden visits last weekend. The physalis was growing through a hawthorn bush and looked so ready for hallowe'en! There's no escaping autumn!
ReplyDeleteWe went to Temple Newsam, Caro this afternoon for a walk in the grounds and they had a long border just full of the aster (Michaelmas Daisy) It was a collection of different varieties in all shades of purple and all differing heights and it looked beautiful.
DeleteFabulous colours.
ReplyDeleteThey are, Rooko and I think the light at the moment makes the colours more vibrant as it doesn't wash them out.
DeleteLoved that periwinkle, reminds me that I need more blue flowers in my garden, do you remember its full name?
ReplyDeleteIt didn't have a name plate, Helene but guessing I think it looked like vinca minor. Vinca major has similar coloured flowers but don't gp for atropurpurea as it has purple flowers, You can buy a variegated variety too
DeleteBeautiful flower! This is the first time I see orange cape gooseberry, very interesting. Your blog is so inspiring and interesting. Thank you for sharing. Maybe I'm your newest follower.
