Late Bloomers

Post by Doris_J »

Wandered out in the garden last week to find these late bloomers. It's nice to see some flowers when most things are starting to go to sleep.

I'm a fan of dahlias, and thet red/yellow is lovely.

My miniature cyclamens finished a while ago and the new leaves are growing like mad, but my large flowered ones are behind yours and just coming into bud.

We had the Weigela I believe it was the Red Prince but someone wanted it so out it came and we then went with the variegated one. I wan't impressed with it, sorry.
