Autumn Blooms

Walking around my rather straggly, rain-soaked garden after work today,  I was delighted to find some very lovely reminders of summer. I picked all of these lovely blooms, and was very happy to bring them into the house to cheer it up. With a cold nip in the air, and some very heavy showers, the light levels have been rather low. There are snapdragons still flowering (surely the best value for money, flower-wise, this year), roses and fuchsias, all in complementary shades of red, yellow and purple.


These berries looked good with the fuchsias too.


I put the roses in our bedroom.


They finally ended up on my bedside table where they made me smile when I woke up this morning. At 6.30 the world was still dark outside, but the sight of them made getting up a much nicer experience! x

  2. So pretty:) The torrential rain we've had seems to have battered any remaining blooms in my garden into a squidgy mess. Except for the weeds if course lol

    1. It certainly has been very soggy and squishy out there, and weeds are rife. I tried not to look at them! :)

    1. How lovely! I suppose you can still enjoy your garden flowers outside and make them last a little longer :)
