It was a day of sunshine and heavy showers so I popped out when the rain stopped. We really needed the rain so it was good to see it and it freshened everything up.

I gave the ceanothus a prune a few weeks ago (part of it has died off) and it seems to be flowering again now.

These lovely nerine seem to pop out of nowhere at this time of year.

Still plenty of colour in the hydrangeas but I'll take most of their heads off soon so Linda can have them.

The courgettes seem to be having one last go before finishing for the year.

This is the only acer that's started to turn colour so far but I'm sure the others will have their autumn glory colour soon.

 

Plenty of berries already for the birds to enjoy.

The kale has grown into trees!

The rain drops balancing on the leaves makes for pretty photos!

The last of the new lavender that Carole gave us earlier this year.

Plenty of fuchsias around as well.

The heuchera give us plenty of colour all year round.

The begonias haven't done much through the summer but look a them now!

I thought these thistles had finished but this one is still doing well.

This acer is a lovely red colour all year but goes even brighter in autumn.

This is a more unusual colour for a hydrangea.

The pampas has suddenly sprung into fronds.

A lovely rainbow graced the skies at one point.

The ornamental grass blows around very nicely in the breeze.

The fish seem to be happier (and more lively) with the nets now the heron can't attack them.

Lots of geometric shapes around the garden.

In between the showers, it was a lovely sunny day.

More berries - pyracantha this time.

Pretty pink here and there.

One last flush from my favourite rose.

The wallflowers in the patio beds seem to have settled in well.

That's it for this month.
