I have very few things left that are flowering now. Apart from a few autumn cyclamen, a gentian and some crososmia the garden has reverted back to just having the evergreens for colour so it's lovely to see that you have such a range of beautiful colours Gardengirl.

Wow! What a nice injection of fall coilour, Gardengirl.  It put a great, big smile on my gob!
I am so surprized that we here are so much further along than you. Great going (garden)girl!

I think I will be doing the same Petunia. The temperature got down quite low last night. Don't want to lose these beauties.

Oh, my what a lot of gorgeous colors you still have in your garden. They all look like spring instead of autumn.

Thank you so much for all the nice comments. I am always a bit sad at this time of the year when the blooms fade and we have the long winter months ahead of us.....but hey, I can start planning for next year
