Autmn in my garden - I was astonished about the autumn colours of some of the "newer" Hostas,
for example H. Blue Mouse Ears.

Beautiful colours, Rudi.
I am most impressed that not only does the hosta have good colour, but also that so late in the season it has no holes from slugs and snails!  :)

The Schizostylis, name unfortunately lost, but a good red.  Also a smattering of Sarracenia hybrids.

Dear friends,thank you for the kind replies and the attached beautiful pictures of autumn coloured plants in
your gardens.Maggi,I wonder myself,how this little Hosta stays relatively undamaged by snails and slugs in my
garden,maybe the structure of the leaves is too thick for them.The"slimers"nevertheless help themselves with
other species of this genus.Ialso like self sown Acers ,it is only a pity,that I have too little space for them
in the garden.

Hello to all in the forum,
Just to say hello after my surgery,second knee replacement,and now in recovery for the last week.
I see there is a lot I have missed while away,so there is good reason to find out what has happend.
Meanwhile we are already in November and there is not much here to get exited about,but I might try to get some colour in the next few day`s when I get out....??
