Eric, as always all I can say is WOW.. :o  Its amazing that things that should have stopped flowering now havent.  Also that things that shouldnt be flowering yet are.

OK, OK s'not fair!!! I really, really HAVE to come live with you!!!!!! Can't stand this any longer - am soooooooo jealous I think I'm going to stay green for the rest of my life.  :'( :'(

A wonderfu selection of photographs Eric. It cheered me up just to look at them. I've filed them away so that I can take a note of the names next time I visit a nursery or garden centre as there are some there that I simply MUST have.

Had a look round my garden while raking up leaves and spruce cones. Very little by way of flowers. Only wallflowers, rudbeckias, hollyhocks, tom thumbs (ones I missed), sunflowers, montbretias and AURICULAS (second flowering). I notice you have a yellow jasmine out. I have one very similar, but it flowered early spring.
Strangely enough the epimedium has failed to change colour yet!

What can I say Eric - absolutely blooming beautiful ;D  Amazing how much is still in bloom.  My Schizostylis are still going strong, and the occasional clematis - but I can add one to your list and that is a beautiful  blue delphinium.  Don't have a pic of it unfortunately - oh yes, and a hebe which is still in bloom, oh yes.....and a deep mauve penstemon.

I think you will have to have an open day Eric so we can all come and see your lovely garden :D

full of admiration, Palustris. particularly like the geranium and yellow crocosmia.
honeysuckle berries look a treat at this time of year. when i work out how to post photos, i have one of the berries against the ivy on which it is growing, all covered slightly by a dusting of snow....against the sky.

your iris foetidus: i have this but they have not 'berried'-is it a question of age, or of being settled? mine were split from my parents 1 or 2 years ago. they had a flower this year, look healthy-but no berries. they did 'berry' before in their original position???
