      Does your winter jasmine always flower so early @Michael Hewett? Mine doesn't flower until January/February. Tiny beacons of colour in a midwinter landscape. :spinning:

        Yes @Lorea it always flowers early, but then it has ended by February. :sad:

        What's 'bombed' @longk :what: ? Did it explode ? :yikes:

          Still some November colour here and there around my garden. :)

          Polyanthus 'Crescendo' brightening up a shady spot by one of the log piles.

          Viburnum 'Bodnantense' looks as if it's going to put on a good show this year.

          Looks as if it's a good year for mistletoe too.

          Nerines

          DSC08956.JPG

          Amelanchier, always good for autumn colour.

          This little patio rose is still going, this is the third time it's flowered this year.

                          Bless you hotlips, a few more flowers this week (sorry for lack of focus, a bit breezy out there)
                          IMG_0944.JPG IMG_0942.JPG

                          Not sure what this is growing on the site of an old birch tree, but it's very pretty with the fallen leaves. Won't eat it but any ideas what it is?

                            I've tried to identify your mushroom @Ariadae but there are so many similar ones that I found it very difficult.

                              No, I couldn't find it either, thanks both

                              Did wonder about a chanterelle but as I've never seen them other than in cookery books I'm certainly not going to make an omelette:)
