Here we are into November, and still I have flies buzzing round
strongly inside the house and wasps doing the flower rounds in the
garden....... (I plan to keep recording this as warm weather persists
into late autumn/winter, year after year, and insect activity remains
strong :)


I still have all of my salvia in pots outside, 2 hanging baskets going
strong, my wild rhododendron has just sent a few flowers out... the days are
lovely for walking on the beach too....

I've just driven past some flowering cow parsley, the Acanthus is coming
through quite boldly and Dahlias etc. are still persistent.

I noticed some flowers on a wallflower a few days back, never mind Welsh
poppies (but they've been flowering intermittently since the spring).

There is hardly a day in the year when there isn't a Welsh poppy flowering
somewhere in this garden. They are fantastic plants and because they're not
exotic or showy, they're too often overlooked, IMO. AND our Euryops
chrysanthemoides must be in flower 8 months in the year I should think.
They don't seem to care if they're in containers or banks - another truly
wonderful plant but not for cold areas.

Showoff.

I'm still picking runners.

And yesterday a queen bumble bee was visiting the heather by the pond.

Daffodils and crocus poking their heads through - oh, and a berberis has
buds and the odd orange flower on it.

Bit worrying, really ...

I saw a Japanese cherry tree with both fruit and blossom this morning.

And I've just remembered that one of the nursery staff's father has an apple
tree bearing juvenile fruits after blossoming recently.
