Autumn Colour

The last folks who looked after my garden knew what they were doing methinks! Its Mid autumn and my garden is still full of colour! This through no fault of my own! I have been happily photographing the results of the previous owners handy work! I only hope that this time next autumn that the garden is still as colourful! Thought I would post a couple of photos of the Autumn Garden. There are more available on my Flickr Photostream in the Autumn Garden Set

The following is a bunch of Aster Amellus 'Sonia' - Michaelmas Daisies. These things are seriously going crazy. Still bursting with colour even despite the frost we are now getting.

Another View in the sunlight this time. I waited for an hour coming back every 5 minutes in the late afternoon to finally get this view of the flowers in sunlight!

Of course for a more traditional Autumn scene in any Garden, the view through the window on a seriously frosty morning.

It has been a very warm September and until recently a pretty good October. So nice in fact even the Rambling Rose has put in another appearance!

One of my favourites, the Cosmos Atrosanguineus or Chocolate flower is still putting up a brave appearance as well. These flowers have been in bloom now for a couple of months over the end of the Summer and now through Autumn. They genuinely give off a chocolate scent which can't be sneezed at!

Of course we have had our fair share of rain as well through Autumn. At one stage a couple of inches of rain in 2 days in W5. Great weather for ducks, unless the particular duck in question is an aqua-phobe I guess?

As highlighted above. More Autumn Garden snaps can be seen in my n the Autumn Garden Set on flickr. There is also a Summer Garden Set with loads more snaps contained. Need to decide next year maybe how I might organise this. Might make some monthly sets to track changes in the garden.

Cheers
