The maples are putting on their autumn show while the Musa basjoo awaits a heavy frost which will turn it brown. In mild years, that hasn't happened until after Thanksgiving.
The heavy rain and wind have caused this tall grass to lean over all of the plants in front of it, one of the few things I don't like about the taller grasses.
Even as this seed pod ripens on a camellia,
new buds are forming for the late winter and early spring show!
A little soggy and battered, a rose still blooms in the cold autumn air.
The cyclamen continue to produce beautiful foliage which will be fresh and green all winter, along with the Arum italicum, and then be gone in the summer.
I hope your autumn garden is full of fun surprises!
