The autumn blooms


Autumn's arrived and with it brings the last shows of the garden. The drop in temperature brings a slow down in the plants but the autumn blooms have started their show. Of these, is my favourite plant of all, the Japanese anemone, with it's pretty medium sized flowers. The heather has started to bloom again and some of the summer ones are still going. The Echinacea is one of the new plants I put in this year, it's now producing lovely bright pink flowers which lasts for a long time. In bloom is also the crocosmia, this is a kind of an inherited plant, my neighbour has loads of these planted against our shared fence and some of the plants decided to cross over into my garden, a bit like the great escape!! But I love the sight of the fiery orange flowers so they have been allowed to stay and make a home on my side.
