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!

I picked some daffodils, I don't know if they are late this year or early
for next.

Not a lot left, but we do have a wild primrose in flower!

Bourgainvillia just coming nicely into flower, have a nice money plant,
well more like a large shrub, also just starting to flower, plenty of
oleanders, pansies, cyclamen, daturas, strelitizia reginas, passion
flowers out here in sunny spain.

I have most of what you have too. Some parts of the garden got done by a few
nights of light frost but others made it through.

But the weirdest flowering items here a My appletree, had an entire
clutster of flowers, and my winter jasmine, which has at least 50 flowers on
it... now that is way too early here!
Really strange year this one.

Take care,

Many things already mentioned by others plus New Guinea Impatiens still out
in pots, Penstemon, Geranium 'Rozanne', Gaura, a tall blue Scabious which
IIRC was called 'Oxford Blue', Gazania, Convolvulus cneorum, Eleagnus
ebingei, and there's also a Sarcococca which seems about to flower - surely
that's too early.

No frost at all so far, which is really strange for us - we'd usually
have a frost by the first week of October. So I still have nasturtiums
and ipomoeas everywhere, alongside the first of the winter flower -
Viburnum bodnantense and winter jasmine, which are both in full flower.

"Do not insult the crocodile until you have crossed the river"

Up by the house is still a blaze of colour, Hedychiums, Abutilon's,
Tibouchina's, cassia's, and for me the stars two Fuchsia's, paniculata and
boliviana, both now 8' and looking wonderful, October is a bonus as most of
these have to be protected in winter so by now would have been cut back,
covered or brought in, but this years they have been able to just carry on
flowering.
