Last blooms from the garden?

Ah! Now I didnt say my garden was ship shape - hence the picked flowers?

Close ups are the answer.

DaisyMay beautiful.

Some of the flowers in my garden today. A couple of weeks ago I brought all my geraniums indoors. I've since potted up winter pansies and narsicci. Also put new alliums in the borders. My Nerines are only just open. I'm in Oxfordshire.

Stunning pictures.
Is it just my eyes or do the colours of the flowers seem more vibrant this year? The pinks are stronger, the reds and purples deeper. Its almost as though the sun has given them an added tan boost!
A trough or two of mine today with new buds waiting to explode.

On reading your post I just had another look at my Amarines. There are loads of buds! I am delighted!

Shysal I have learned something new from you. I'd not come across Amarines. Just looked them up. Similar to Nerines. Tomorrow, if I have time before meeting a Gransnet friend for coffee, I'll take a photo of my few Nerines.

MaizieD out of shot are some tools, soggy wet cardboard, uncut lawn and more unmentionables

Still have quite a few blooms but mostly dotted about...

The last one is one of a (newish) Toad Lily. I've not had one before.

Last offerings - unless you want a couple of tomatoes which I'm about to bring in!

The photo of the vase of purples is beautiful Nams.

Apologies, this last one is older.. think a good couple of weeks.

I love that spidery daisy NotSpaghetti and the Nerine next to the purple Smoke Bush. Gorgeous.

Oh, these pics are lovely! ❤️

Notspaghetti what are the tiny purple flowers in your first post?

SueDonim I'm sureNotspaghetti will come back with the correct name, but I think it's a type of Verbena.

Notspaghetti I love your Toad Lily

I’ve. Got asters all different colours, rudbeckia, delphiniums - second flowering, roses, geraniums, (not perlogoniums), dahlias, scabious.

Can’t remember if any more as away at the moment.

It's a fairly standard verbena. I'll look tomorrow to see if I've labelled it and if so, will report back. It's about 6ft tall. These are at the tips.

The daisy is really raggedy and I love it. Leucanthemum Sweet Daisy Cher.
It's actually just gone over. I took the photo a couple of weeks ago... but it has been lovely.

I'll have to ask my mother in law about the Nerine I'm afraid as it came from her.

Thank you Nams and others.
I think we all probably have a few little delights still.
I am so pleased to have some survivors - although it's been cold we haven't had any frost.

I have just been looking at winter blooms and found a clematis I'm interested in...
Clematis cirrhosa Freckles
Does anyone have it? winter flowering.

We don't really have an all-season garden though as we don't plan properly. We buy things we love (or are given from friends) then struggle to fit them in.

My garden's a mixture. Autumn colours but some late and long flowering plants are still holding on.

Tiny flowers on a very hardy fuchsia microphylla, hardy geranium that roams where it wants and verbena bonariensis. The fuchsia will last till the hard frosts.

Can't believe my holly has orange - turning to red berries all ready !


I'll have to get some Nerines next year BlueBelle . Gorgeous.

Muse, my verbena is a bonariensis too. I remember now!
Someone up-thread was wondering.

Is yours also head-height?
Mine seems to grow really tall.

It's up to my shoulders NotSpaghetti - I'm 6' ?

I grew it from seed two years ago. Cut it back in the spring and up it pops again. It likes being in pots too.

Sedum Japanese anemones, helychrisum (sp?), white phlox, autumn asters, some late roses, blue veronicas (after Chelsea chopping 6 weeks ago)

thank you to all that posted photos! How lovely. My garden is almost finished, but I have a few annuals in pots still. Osteospermum in a dark red and Victoria Blue salvias and still showing. We have had quite a bit of rain, so the geraniums buds were rotting before they bloomed, so they are done.

I keep meaning to add a few more late blooming perennials to the garden, and these photos have helped with ideas.
