Two weeks into November, and I still have a few flowers to enjoy.






Also, some berries on the Honeysuckle.




And the Hydrangea looks nice.





Hopefully, this late colour will make the Winter seem shorter.

My apologies for the poor pictures. I managed to drop my good camera, and I am now looking at buying a new one. : unamused:

Steve, we had something like that (not quite as pretty) until Saturday night it went down to 22f and warmed up to 23f last night, wiped them out. Didn’t bother the Geese they are still here!

The garden is behind a low wall, which affords some protection, as we are only a couple of hundred yards from the sea.









Not exactly profuse, I know, but, it being almost December, 50 miles north of Aberdeen, I'll take it. :D

Don't do that Eric, give it another chance replant and cut it back to about 18inches, I do that every year with mine in late autumn to protect it from being blown over by wind and snow.

I can't throw any plants into the recycling which means I have far too many plants in my garden, lol.

Blowing in the wind…

Migration reaches its height in October, as birds around the world take to the wing. In the UK, summer species like swifts and swallows have set off south to spend the winter in Africa, while new arrivals like redwings and fieldfares descend in chattering falls from Scandinavia.

I did that last year and secured it to a concrete post but it's still come down again so it's going and will be replaced with something else, roses maybe.
