Giles - Thanks for the posting.  Nerine Henrietta is quite something. Also I'm quite blown away by the Crassula columnaris!  And the hederifoloum and the................

Autumn must be coming to a close as the red Schizostylis here is just about to flower, a few brave Alliums are trying to repeat bloom.

That lot certainly makes me feel warmer, Giles.
Flowering here now despite snow and frosts- the plant I have been growing as Delphinium micranthum for quite a few years now. This is F3 from the original plant.

Lovely set of photographs at this late end of the season.

Giles, Nerine 'Henrietta' is an outstanding colour.

In this fall, where we've been cheated of fall colour and bloom, it's nice to see that there is still plant life and even flowers somewhere out there... (Okay, mostly from some very mild zones, but still wonderful to see!

Lovely plants, all!
Giles, is it odd for Cassiope to be blooming in fall?

Wow, even Tibouchinia outdoors - does it winter outdoors also, Michael?  (I expect not... ?)  EDIT:  Looking again, I see it's in a pot so that probably answers my question right there.

[Michael J Campbell]

Lori, it does winter outdoors,it is only in a pot because I have no room to plant it in the garden. Don't forget I am surrounded by water, so very little frost. Maybe -2 or 3c

....as people seem to like these, here are some pulled back from the recycle bin, that I wasn't going to post. No names for them, sorry.

..is it because they're bulbs ??

..is it because they're bulbs ??

Now there's an interesting theory!  It's true that bulbs are hugely popular in the Forum... and elsewhere.     At the moment, speaking for myself, the weather is so unremittingly awful that these colourful and stylish flowers are just the tonic my eyes need.
