    I have very few things left that are flowering now. Apart from a few autumn cyclamen, a gentian and some crososmia the garden has reverted back to just having the evergreens for colour so it's lovely to see that you have such a range of beautiful colours Gardengirl. :stew1:

    I think I will be doing the same Petunia. The temperature got down quite low last night. Don't want to lose these beauties.

    Beautiful blooms, Gardengirl. What a way to go out for the season, but great to look forward to again next year.

    Oh, my what a lot of gorgeous colors you still have in your garden. They all look like spring instead of autumn.

    Your blooms are all so beautiful.I have been looking for the old timey May Pops (your passion flower)Its color is very different.We use to find them in the cotton field rows.All of your blooms are outstanding Gardengirl.

    Thank you so much for all the nice comments. I am always a bit sad at this time of the year when the blooms fade and we have the long winter months ahead of us.....but hey, I can start planning for next year :stew2:
