The last few days have all but wiped out any lingering flowers on
the geranuims. However there is one small one hanging on under some
foliage so I'm goint to count it :-)

A yellow rose which is looking sorry for itself.

A 'weed' (flower in the wrong place) with yellow dandelion-style flowers.

Going down below freezing again.
I may take pity on the geraniums.


Malva 'Bicolor' and Malva 'Princesse de Lignes' (I'm not sure that they
are different); Abutilon megapotamicum and Abutilon 'Kentish Belle'.
Possibly a Hebe (I neglected to check).


Yes, the Hebe (possibly salicifolia) has a couple of inflorescences.

I didn't see anything else while out walking this afternoon, except for
a single flower on a ragwort of some description (most likely Senecio
jacobaea).
