Default What's Still Flowering?

What a strange autumn! Unexpectedly flowering in my garden right now are
clematis Nelly Moser and Fireworks. I still have passiflora, bizzie lizzie,
tender fuchsia, centaurea montana, cosmos, nicotiana, verbena, hydrangea,
pernettya and gladioli. My dahlias haven't stopped flowering since mid July
(I'm bored with them now!). I can't believe that it's nearly Bonfire Night!

Abutilon megapotamicum, Abutilon hybridum, Anoda cristata, Anoda
wrightii, Hollyhocks, Lavatera 'Bicolor' and 'Princesse de Lignes',
Lavatera acerifolia, assorted shrubby Lavateras (5 cultivars, 4
seedlings), Lavatera cachmiriana, Malva sylvestris, Callirhoe
involucrate, Callirhoe leiocarpa, Sidalcea 'Rosebud' (repeat flowering),
a Hebe.

I saw a Corynabutilon (x suntense?) in flower yesterday, and an Abutilon
striatum today.
