Well that's the Equinox past us and it wasnt tooo bad. I am quite thrilled that the garden still has a bit of colour in it. The last three days have been our "summer" - blue skies, lovely sunshine, warm (behind glass) and frost at night. But we are not complaining ................


A vase from some flowers still standing


The sedum is looking very pink this year




Clematis still flowering in the greenhouse, despite frost


and a lovely sunset last night

An even better sunset tonight, but not sure the camera has caught it so well. Thank you for letting me share these with you.

What about the Autumn colours in your garden?

Thanks for the pics Jennie. Just great. I hope everybody will post their autumn pics - whether it's plants still in bloom, frosty mornings or trees turning colour.

Nice sunset Jennie! It's enough to make you want to pick up a paint brush and start painting, with views like that!

Lovely pica, thanks for sharing them with us Jennie

Still colour in the garden here. Our little potted acer goes through beautiful shades before the leaves fall - it will soon be going into the greenhouse for its hibernation.
The fuchsia is one I've had for many years - before we came here 8 years ago. It looks dead until about June. I snip off the ends of the branches where it dies back a little and then off it goes.

What beautiful colours in the Acer Flummery. I would love to grow one here. Tried, but with no success. I think there may be a bit too much salt in the air. My fuschia flowers finished a while back and with the equinox gales the bush is looking sadly black!

We are now entering day four of this fabulous weather and the sunset last night was as good!
