What's looking Good In November

Who would believe Bougainvillea would carry on flowering through all this rain.
Fatsia , lots of flies this morning.
Melianthus major.

 

We are having lots of flies now, normally they come in October wet weather, which wasn't wet.

 

Gorgeous melianthus @pete

 

Parrotia Persian spire

My Acer winter flame is doing quite well now after initial scare, the leaves did go a bit more orange yellow but the wind/rain took them off before I got a pic.

 

Iochroma with new shoots following its cut back two weeks ago ...


Hibiscus rosa-sinensis (I call Candy Floss) opening ...

Wonderful wreaths! Mrs Shiney is very talented. You must have a big callicarpa plant to supply all those stems. Which crab apple is that please?

A couple of photos of the only Viola flowers open at present on the balcony railings.

Impressive callicarpa @shiney !
@Balc your cyclamen are doing far better than mine - just a couple of flowers left

 

@CarolineL Thanks, I'm glad you like them! Perhaps my plants are younger than yours! I only bought them a couple of months ago & they were quite small plants then. They have grown since then & in some of them there are quite a number of flower buds well beneath the leaves at present. I hope they will keep on flowering for sometime yet.

As this is the first time I've grown more than one I don't know yet how long they will flower for, not even really sure if this specie is frost resistant as we haven't had any here so far this autumn. Well last week I did see some frost on the roofs of the houses across the road from us but none so far on the grass in front of the balcony.

 

The Candy Floss Hibiscus rosa-sinensis now fully opened from yesterday (it will have died by tomorrow) ...
