November in the Northern Hemisphere

I'll start the thread with few images taken on Nov. 1st.; not much time for taking pictures now.

Nothing too exciting but here are a couple that are surprising me by looking as good as they are despite the cold.
I grow a few Salvia patens from seed every year. Most are given away but I keep one or two to grow on in tomato pots (S.patens is tuberous) as back-up for any that I may lose in the ground over the winter. They usually bloom really well in their first year but I rather overpotted this one and it has only just started to bloom despite being a very strong plant..............


This Amaranthus germinated in the pot of another unrelated plant that was sent to me by someone on another forum. Not sure of the exact species but it is standing up to the cold far better than I would expect..........

despite the cold and wet weather Satureja spicigera is very healthy this year.

Enkianthus campanulatus, the type, flowers are a bit uinderwhelming but it gives a good autumn show till December most years.  The neighbour's plant this morning and luckily we have a great view of it.

A few photographs from the farm today.



Acer palmatum 'Tsuma beni' - One of my top picks. It has very consistent brilliant scarlet-red foliage every autumn. My understand is that tsuma beni means red nail. In the spring the green leaves are prominently tip red like red finger nails.



A Hamamelis seedling. It always has beautiful autumn foliage.

Very nice colours, Robert. Reds are rarer than yellow and orange here.

Nothing very unusual, except the weather yesterday - about 18C! So I took a few pictures for my records. Today 2-0C and first snow coming...

Camellia season has started with Camellia sasanqua 'Winter's Interlude'. The soft focus was unintentional.
