        Your shots just get better and better, HsuH:thumbsup::snork: It's nice to see such colour in the garden even though we're on the edge of Autumn.:snork:

            Ah, that is because I'm learning from the photo-masters like yourself :). It's not easy to find such good quality tuition for free:dbgrtmb:.
            Yes, it is cold and wet at times, (I think the dampness is the main problem for all the plants out there), but still there is plenty to see.

            And not to forget my mad amaranthus in the greenhouse (see post #12). After reaching the top of the roof it is now marching down the other side of the roof ridge and no sign of it slowing down.

                      It's good to see such colour still around :blue thumb:

                      I've been wandering around the garden trying to find some colour. Some of the plants are still showing the ocassional flower.

                              @shiney Wow! Sunflowers and plums make a great combo, they look super! My Lords and Ladies berried up several weeks ago and have been picked clean. Great shots :dbgrtmb:

                              Your sunflowers got off to a slow start but they are now making a good show. Thanks for the seeds :blue thumb:
