Nice. The late fall flowers on roses are particularly attractive 
One that looks like Mozart's brother  (have no idea about the name but is one that thrives on neglect) Undecided weather so I took more pictures instead of working.

Corydalis ophiocarpa - amazing foliage all year long (you can forget about flowers)
Crocus speciosus flowers mid week (sold hear as C. sativus! Dutch provenience material)
Heptacodium miconioides - 'flowering' again (red calyces)
Ampelopsis brevipedunculata, the porcelain vine - the best is yet to come but I have to move it/prune

Lovely subtle colours there Gabriela

Low October sunlight also tempted me away from gardening jobs:
Cyclamen hederifolium under a liquidamber tree
Hamamelis - fleeting autumn colour
Paeonia lutea
Vitis coignetiae & Hydrangea petiolaris
Cyclamen cilicium

[Cfred72]

Yes, I see now the difference between Cyclamen cilicium and C. hederifolium

The autumn colours are good this year, thanks to the dry and relatively calm weather.



Betula ermanii



Blueberry bush (I think this is 'Northland')



Salix hastata, probably a few days too late for the best picture.



Viburnum plicatum 'Mariesii' on the turn.



I like the way the light shines through this Corylopsis.

so beautiful pics put (for me) the best is the crocus speciosus, so clearly

Thank you for sharing the autumn flowers and colour

The forecast said the temperature would jump up to 27˚C today. I thought it would rise more at sunny spot and covered all my pots with newspapers

Tatsuo,

27 C seems unusual for this time of year. Is this a record high temperature for the date? or perhaps such temperatures are not that unusual this time of year in your part of Japan? I am quite curious.

I hope that your plant fair well. They certainly receive loving care.

Thanks Robert Yes it's very unusual at this time. The mean maximum temperature of October at my place is 23.1˚C and now is already end of the month. I'm worrying leaf/flower burn and bulb rot are caused by this hot weather.

Clethra barbinervis, the dwarf form from Weston Nurseries always colours reliably.
