October in the garden

 It may be October - and well on the way to winter - but it's still surprisingly warm so many of summer's flowers are still blooming.







So there are nasturtiums, marigolds, sunflowers, rudbeckias, welsh poppies and sweet peas

along with more typical autumn flowers - fuchsia bushes, michaelmas daisies, kaffir lilies and verbena

the sweet williams have even decided to flower a second time - even if they are a bit straggly.

Lots of lovely flowers for the house
