The garden still has lots of colour with a few roses, giving echoes of a lovely summer now sadly past.
I have replanted most of my pots now, with some more autumnal colours. I would love to plant some up with violas but I understand from Ted's breeder that these are poisonous to dogs, so none of those in our garden unfortunately. Ted does love to snack on leaves of all types, and is then promptly sick! Violas would be far too much of a temptation for him. He is very fond of echinacea and runner bean leaves, cow parsley, wood sage. The list is endless.
I always surprise myself slightly with choosing skimmia, because they are not really my thing, but I have grown them before and I have just bought some more. There is no denying they are a very handsome plant and will hopefully give some intense colour into winter time, looking especially good with frost of them.

I love cosmos, too. Let's enjoy precious days in autumn.
ReplyDeleteYes, you are right! Autumn is very beautiful. Do your wonderful cherry trees in Japan give good colour when their leaves approach autumn? Thank you for visiting the running wave.
