Title: A bit of colour in my garden today
Post by: Grandma on October 15, 2011, 15:37:51

It's a beautiful, sunny day - so warm for mid-October! - I took a few snaps of the best bits this morning. I hope you like them.

Wonderful, it really is amazing for mid October.  :)

I've still got california poppies, cornflowers, cosmos and nasturtiums in full flower.

I like your clumps of hardy cyclamen. Very jealous!

I've always thought of oriental poppies as a springtime flower.
Really pretty display you have going.
