What`s in your garden today?

It`s November 9th and I still have flowers. I wondered if this was country-wide or just a Southern thing?
What`s still flowering in your grden?
I have one solitary begonia



the last of the roses



while the geranium and fuschias always hang on





what is odd is that the Himalayan Busy Lizzies and the Black eyed Susans are still in full flower, if slightly battered.





so what survives in your neck of the woods?

Yep, up here in West Yorkshire, I have containers absolutely overflowing still with geraniums and marigolds, all in good condition....although I've lost the lobelia that has been gorgeous this year. The geraniums in the ground are the same. I keep thinking I MUST get them in the greenhouse but cant bring myself to dismantle them all yet. I have just put 2 tubs into greenhouse, not taken cuttings yet.

No pics as I still cant do it after all these years lol

Some (overlong) grass, a lot of weeds and a mysterious black and white furry plant that purrs when you touch it.

I used to love gardening, but I'm in constant pain with my spine now so I can't do all the bending over anymore. My garden dream now would be a lot of nice looking paving slabs and some good quality fake grass.

Lovely pics
I did have the most beautiful vibrant orange leaves on an Autumn stag horn tree, but they've blown off now.
Now all I have it dog poo, leaves & toadtools
