The Garden in October

 

There are a few flowers that are hanging on in the middle of October. The dahlias didn't seem to mind the frost we had this week.

The odd rose is still trying to flower.

The astrantia are on their second blooming.

The campanula are sheltered around the conservatory. Again flowering for a second time after being cut back.

The asters are a late flowering plant. Just a shame mine are a boring colour.

Perhaps the most amazing flower is the hydrangea. In it's first year in the garden it has flowered again.

Last of all, the dianthus in the pots on the side patio and against the wall at the back of the house have been the most successful of the annuals.  I have made a note for next year.
