Lovely Mups, especially the dog rose! :slight_smile:

Hah, thanks Tess.
The dog rose has come along rather well this year hasn’t it. :wink:

Lovely plants for this time of the year, Mups …

I thought you last flower was called a Lambkin… :wink: :smiley:

Lovely photos, Mups!

Thanks Tabby and Mags.
I am hoping the late colour will hang on a little longer, but I suppose if we get some early frosts it will put pay to it.

I am getting more bulbs in, and planning next spring now. We’ve got to keep looking forward haven’t we.

I recently saw some lovely words, (to me anyway), yet so simple. It said. . . .

" To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow."

I love that.

Beautiful Mups
Your garden, your dogs, the quote and you!!!

IT’S nice to see a bit more colour in the garden this time of year.

Lovely garden Mups. I hope the ‘dog rose’ isn’t rooted to the spot.:lol: He/she is gorgeous.

Blimey Rhian, thank you. You’ve made me go all red now. :smiley: x

Thank you Dongle, I know it won’t last much longer, but I like to enjoy it as long as poss. :slight_smile:

Thanks Tiff. :slight_smile:

That’s my young Gertie, bless her. She is the gentlest, most needy little soul I have ever known.

She is keen gardener, but keeps digging the wrong things up. :smiley:

Lovely but I have to admit my favourite of them all is the last white flower , simply beautiful

Smashing photos Mups, looks a lovely garden and dahlias have always been a favourite of mine, such colour and variety… :slight_smile:

Thank you for your kind comments Queenie and Barry.

Yes Barry, Dahlias have so many beautiful colours and types haven’t they. I luv 'em.

Queenie, the little fluffy white flower is rather special. Unfortunately I cannot send you a cutting though. :wink:

There’s still a bit of colour left in my garden, it adds a bit of cheer to the later months when things start to look bare in the garden. This was taken yesterday.

Is that a hedgehog to the left of the stepping stone Mags?

That is lovely Mags, so many pretty colours still.

Have you ever grown the white Nerines too?
I tried them this year and liked them. I have a feeling they are not so hardy as the pink Bowdenii ones though, but we’ll see.

What a lovely thread thank you mups .

Yes it is Barry … but it’s made of stone! :smiley:
