Autumn colored #Marigolds stealing the spotlight in the vegetable garden. It got down to 32 degrees last night so the tropicals are definitely finished now.🥶

perhaps you're in need of some vibrant colour? perhaps this Erythrina speciosa will serve? from the Botanic Garden in Puerto de la Cruz, Tenerife, 2017. From the before times.
it looks like a starburst of vermilion, of satisfyingly substantial texture.

Even tropical gingers like to show off their autumn colors. Seeds, cones and leaves add so much to the garden.🍂🍁

A few flowers still bringing light and joy to my garden in November: Rosa ‘The Fairy’, a Calendula ‘Snow Princess’ bud slowly unfurling its pretty petals, Cosmos ‘Candy Stripe’, Dahlia ‘White Onesta’, Geranium ‘Nimbus’, and Nicotiana mutabilis. #SixOnSaturday #gardening
Collage of colourful garden flowers: pink spray roses, a yellow Calendula bud, bright pink cosmos blooms, a white dahlia, a purple geranium flower with raindrops, and two pink Nicotiana flowers against a soft green background.

Another mixture of foliage and flower for this week’s #SixOnSaturday, as autumn continues to be quite mild.

We have Amaranth, Narine, Ginkgo leaves, a Rose, Rhus leaves, and a Cosmos flower.

Have a great weekend all!
