The Last of Autumn...

A trip round my wet and squishy garden proved that the autumn is definitely coming to an end. Although we haven't had any frosts yet, almost all the late blooms have now gone. All that's left are a smattering of pinky, purpley, reds...


Tulbaghia, hardy Geraniums, Erysimum and Sedum.


But there are some lovely variegated leaves appearing to add interest...


Veined Arum italicum, splotchy Pulmonaria and two Cyclamen Coums, their leaves shiny with rain.


The rain looks lovely on the Melianthus major which has been growing like mad since I repotted it a couple of months ago. The blue of the old foliage and the green of the new is so delicate and the rain drops don't gather on the new leaves nearly as well.



and then there is the promise of things to come, 

but that's for another post!!
