Still no frost but rain, rain and more rain. And wind. Many trees have lost their foliage and the flowering plants are drowning but a few seem to tolerate the weather fairly well.

1) The Helleborus niger has started flowering quite early this year.

2) Bruckenthalia spiculifolia has been in flower since August.

3) Fuchsia magellanica var molinae has flowered all summer and is still in bloom.

4) Hebe rakaiensis(?) flowers in spring and sparingly in fall.

5) Saxifraga fortunei is always a late bloomer. Some years the flowers are damaged by frost. Not yet this year.

1. Iris unguicularis made an early start this year (yes, November is early for this one). It mainly flowers in late winter and is evergreen.

2. Vaccinium corymbosum 'Toro' not only produces delicious blueberries in August, it also has wonderfully rich autumn colours. I have two other cultivars: 'Goldtraube', which I find to be far inferior in every respect (fruit yield and quality and autumn display) and 'Chandler', which is taller growing with a better yield but with somewhat later and less vibrant autumn colour than 'Toro'. Of course, these are samples of one each, so others may have different results.

The rain never stops so I took these photos from the first floor windows!

We always get a few waxcaps and other fungi in the lawn. But this year the display is spectacular!

Gentiana sino ornata

Lovely autumn colours everyone, and how special Gentiana.

Here it is still relatively warm, and still no frosts or snow yet! It has been an extraordinary autumn this year. Asters are almost over now, I don't have any really late ones because normally they don't have time to flower before frosts, but there are still nice colours in the garden.
I love also Tiarellas (and also Heucheras, but they are not as long lived in my garden), and the one in first picture I have grown from seeds, and it is clump forming. 'Happy Trails' in the second picture is indeed trailing, but still nice.
Cyclamen coum is grown from seed ex seeds, I think 2014 or 2015, and they flowered last spring for the first time.

We are also having an unusual warm weather for the beginning of November, but the cold snap of late October has put to sleep the majority of plants.
But there are still few Crocus blooming and nice sceneries.

One Crocus sativus was a nice surprise although the rabbit got to it fast and a stubborn Waterlily still blooming.
