WHATS LOOKING GOOD IN NOVEMBER

Looking very good indeed WO ....like that

 

So, Woo, What will you grow there?

 

From the garden yesterday (17/11/17)

Ipomoea threw out a flower. Smaller than earlier in the year, but it was still a lovely surprise. Is now the time to trim it @pete and bring it indoors?



Cobaea is still going strong ...



... and even seems to be laughing at the glorious sunshine



... now producing seed pods; well, only the one so far, but better than nowt (thank you @longk and @shiney for showing me what to look for )



even the leaves look colourful with the sun on them



with this one positively glowing!



The autumn wallflowers are very pretty



Finally, my hydrangea in a pot (Endless Summer) with amazing Autumn colours

 

My Cobbea croaked in Thursday nights frost!

 

You turned it into a frog?

 

No wonder! After all these years ... you still didn't spell it's name right!
I have a seed pod ... want some seed?

 

I can call it what I want now - it ain't gonna answer back!
Thanks for the offer of seed but I still have a few and I'm also going to try Cobaea pringlei which is supposedly hardy.

 

Fair point!!

Cor! Thanks for the heads up on that variety

 

I've been spotting lots of those little mushrooms in the damp grass of our park too, @Zigs. They are so pretty and delicate, they always remind me of this classic Finnish glass design from the 1940s - though strictly speaking that is a different kind of mushroom, a chanterelle



More details about the vase here, it was designed by Tapio Wirkkala. Even more beautiful from above: Chanterelle | Wirkkala, Tapio | V&A Search the Collections

 

That's lovely Clare

 

@"M" those blooms are BEEutiful and i luv the grin be a great piccy for one of the GC photo comps If there was a SMILE title
@Zigs lovely capture of that sweet little mushroom - i like the little hardy geranium peeking through the grass too - It looks like a "Bill Wallis" maybe?
@Clare G for sharing I've never seen one of those vases before - how delicate and intricate they are -just beautiful

 

Ta

Think that's the winter leaves of the Cut Leaved Cranesbill, @Silver surfer will know

 

Agree

I've have Hardy geranium "Bill Wallis" its still flowering been blooming since spring it copes with mowing and still pops up thru the grass bank and other plants- I do have a white version too, but not as many as the purple - it does self-seed freely but it's very delicate and slender so it doesn't swamp its neighbours peeking out so prettily tru them
