It is the middle of October, in two weeks we will put the clocks back at the end of summer time. The evening will be dark and we will feel winter is really here.

Gorgeous blooms that don’t seem to make me think it is fall just yet. I think winter may be delayed. As always your garden is a beauty of blooms. Thanks for showing and sharing😊

The clematis are rad! I see them in nurseries here, but then I do not see them after summer. They are like very expensive annuals. People buy them because they are so spectacular in spring, but then they do not like the lack of humidity when the weather gets warm in summer. They do a bit better on the coast.

Thanks. The cyclamen are self set so I cannot claim I planted them!

You do have many blooms. I am surprised many times when I explore my gardens and see so much more blooming than I thought.

Your garden is full of colour. So many beautiful roses flowering. Is that usual for this time of year? I remember not so long ago it was rare to see roses even in August!

Beautiful! The roses must be nice to have in flower, it looks like you have quite a few fragrant ones, and the clematis are looking great considering it’s an ‘off’ bloom. I’ll need to speak to my own ‘Ville de Lyon’ about her miserly blooms.

I am glad I am not the only one to talk to their plants. Normally I tell them if I am about to remove them and they always seem to pick up after the talking too!

I love all your blooms. Our gardens seem to think it is still summer. You have some beautiful roses. I particularly love Phyllis Bide, mine has bloomed non -stop all summer long
