Gail and Yann,

Thank you for compliments - cultivation isn't too difficult when kept dry during the summermonths.
The only problem is its susceptibility to powdery mildew which it shares with other ranunculus species grown indoors.

A glowing effect - super for these short, dark days!

This is true ... the October was also very wet and dark. In the Alpinum almost everything looks sad ... except the New Zealand bed. That always looks interesting. :)

I was only referring to the short days, I don't find it sad in the garden (at least not yet ;) I agree that there are many great looking NZ species but I think so are many others of other origins. Even here in a cold region you can have in the rockery many species with beautiful foliage until very late in the fall; in fact until the snow will cover everything.

The day was too beautiful than to stay at home. So we went to walk along the Ourthe between Esneux and Honny.

Not often there is such a beautiful day at this time of year!  The river views are lovely, so peaceful.

Late October in the garden some colour still hanging on.

Unfortunately the Hypericum is a Lost Label variety but has put up a tremendous amount of flowers.

And here are the very last few. I must admit it is lovely to go out and see colour still hanging on so late in the year.

Autumn has caught us, Larix Blue Ball has changed its colour,
