    Many thanks redstar for the slide show.
    As wonderful looking as ever.
    Tell me...I spotted one of your cats. Are they the true colour of its eyes?

    Yes it is the color of his eyes. He also has the prettiest voice. His voice melodiously moves up and down various octaves when he talks to me. Maybe one day I have my video camera handy to record him, so sweet he is.

    All looking lovely Redstar. Isn't autumn beautiful?

    That there begonia with the pale pink flowers and red undersides of the leaves (can't remember it's name) does it live outside all year round? I have heard that it's pretty hardy but have not had the nerve to trust mine to the great outdoors.

    Yes, Blackthorn, the Hardy Begonia stays outside, and makes babies galore --popping everywhere.
    I liked how I joined their leaves with the huge blue hosta.
    We can get quite cold here, sometimes below zero.
    Hope you enjoyed my other slides for the other past months.
    Not sure I will do this again next year, lets face it, the same plants will come up in the same places.

    Your gardens are inspirational no matter the time of the year. I'm just running through some of your other videos on Youtube, they're wonderful!

    Thanks redstar and strongy for the info on the begonia. Redstar, you should be very proud of your garden - a real haven.
