Last flower pics for the season

This season has been a strange one. After a rather fitful summer the Autumn has been mild and 'claggy' as we say in Yorkshire. With no real frost yet this year the hardier elements of summer bedding are still bravely putting out flowers.

1.The last of the petunias which have been flowering since April

2. Another reliable performer , the Nasturtiums have also been flowering for over 6 months.

3. This Penstemon has now put out five sets of flowers , cutting back after each floweing has prolonged the season until now.

4. Antirrhinums were slow come into flower but have provided colour for the end of the season.

5. Another season long performer this Hydrangea varies between white, pink and pale blue flowers.

6. This ornamental grass is a new addition this year but is coming into its own now.

7. Ageratums and Nasturtiums getting towards the end of their flowering now

8. More mixed Antirrhinums , some dwarf and some full size.

Enjoyed the pictures, you have some really beautiful flowers there. Thanks for posting and giving us a break from the incessant political blogs posted on this site.

It only takes a drop of ink to make a million people think. There are many stories.

Very nice. Will be looking forward to more next season.

Do you grow okra in your garden? It is great cooked with tomatoes.

Wow! Beautiful flowers.

I chuckled at the "Spring" flowers here and you producing them in November.

A lovely display of colourful plants there Bond. My Penstemon is still blooming away, but all my Antirrhinums are sleeping. The good old Geraniums are still in full bloom.

Thanks for sharing your beautiful garden with us.

Your beautiful garden is a real highlight! Are the little blue flowers in the first picture "forget-me-not"? Thank you for sharing all this beauty, Bond.

Thank you for your kind words seek. The little blue flowers are trailing Lobelia. They do not seem to realise that Summer is ended and they are flowering better each day after a short pause when it got cold a few weeks ago.

I am glad you enjoy the show. I must admit I started posting to break up the flow of political invective and provide a colourful oasis in the torrent of abuse lol.

Thank you Abelle. It has been an unusual year - all of the Spring flowers have been bursting back into flower -- the Clematis were better in October than they were in May. The trailing Lobelia also.

I am glad you enjoyed it Maudie. It has been an unusual year. Our Geraniums and Fuchsias are coming back into flower again and we keep waiting to take cuttings for the greenhouse but they look too good to cut down yet.

Thank you sewg. We have tried to produce an old fashioned country garden in the last two years but there are still a few corners which need to mature. When all the perennials are properly established it should take less time to keep it looking colourful and we can concentrate on the vegetable garden.
