    Eye-catching as usual - you are so lucky to be surrounded with so many beautiful plants!

      Thanks GA, to be honest the garden borders are still full of colours and flowers even at this late stage. Most of my roses are repeat flowering, the Phlox, Japanese Anemones, nearly all my Clematis, Sunflowers, Rudbeckias, Cosmos, Sweetpeas, Asters, Knautia, Saponaria, Lychinis, Heleniums, and Helianthus are still showing buds and flowering. I guess this late start in the Seasons has had some benefit. The Japanese Anemones, one of my all time favourites, has done very well this year.:hapydancsmil::snork:

      Hi longk, yes it is, well spotted!!:thumbsup::snork: It's Buddleia Globosa.

      I've got five Buddleias, Empire Blue, Black Knight, Globosa, Royal Red, White Cloud, and they're all still flowering in this late season which means the insects have had a good feed.:snork:

            This plant died in the pot but has started to grow out the bottom of the pot

                Got a Plectranthus argentatus back in the summer for a shady'ish spot and it's now starting to bloom.................

                I love flowers that you need to take a proper look at and that is certainly true of these as they're tiny!

                Latest of the Toadies to bloom is Taiwan Adbane...................

                Finally, Fuchsia colensoi purpurascens is starting to bloom...........................

                Is it just me or have the Fuchsias (except for the Triphylla group) struggled this year?

                  Well, the lateness in the Seasons hasn't helped but my hardy perennial Fuchsias are doing fine and in fact are still flowering:dunno::snork:

                  I don't think they liked that long hot spell. Now it has cooled down, they seem to be displaying their late blooms well,
