I agree, still a lot of flowering plants. :)
Here the only flowers are in one snowdrop and one autumn flowering crocus. Colchicums are already over. The first Helleborus niger show buds. I'm going over my pictures of last spring and that helps through winter until next spring.

It must be nice having so many flowering plants this late in the season.  :)

We never get very cold here in our part of California, however we have had a goodly number of frosty mornings of -3 C to -4 C since 1 November. This has been enough to shut things down for the winter. We even had a cold rain mixed with snow the other day and a goodly amount of snow further up the mountain.

The autumn foliage was excellent this year, however this did not last very long either. Now most of the colored leaves have been frozen off the trees and shrubs.

I have started to clean up the garden and apply leaf mold for the winter (some parts of the garden get nothing except the rock mulch replenish if necessary). I did not find anything in flower, but it felt great to work in the garden. It seems like I have not been able to do this in ages.  :)  :)  :)

We are heading down to our Sacramento home / garden for a few days. There are a few Salvias still in bloom down there, however even the "mild" Sacramento Valley is getting some frost and the plants are going into winter dormancy.

Lachenalia aloides (which I've put in the porch whilst it blooms)...............


Deppea splendens was looking good until a pane of greenhouse glass shattered in the frost (-5.5°c) ..............


It's in the bathroom now (along with my Cubanola) in the hope that it will recover.

Salvia lasiantha still looks promising..............


Here's a (not very good) photo of my Salvia SL411 to show what a good plant I think it could be given a better summer.............


Salvia leucantha continues to look good despite the cold (fleece and a sheltered spot next to an air brick in the house wall helps).............
West Oxon where it gets cold!
