    Marley and chengjing, you put me to shame with your colours. Well done both of you.

    Marley, the Virginia Creeper is wonderful, I really miss that sort of thing.

    A couple of late pics from today (I took a lot a week or two ago, then deleted the lot from my camera! tsk!)

    The hamamelis is coming to the end of it's wonderful Autumnal show:

    and, like chenjing, our nasturtium must have hit a good 7ft! No sign of black fly this year either - hooray!

    Somewhere I don't usually frequent... Wyevale GC.!!
    It was a single stem plant last June. It doesn't set seed but I am sure it will divide into three or four pieces when I have dried it off. [​IMG]

    Lovely. Please put me on your list if you have a spare one. I am thinking about doing a project for the next year that might need some cannas. [​IMG]
