Bright autumn days allow some of the last colourful displays in the garden to really shine. Here are a few of those lovely colours for #SixOnSaturday.

First up is a wonderful red chilli. Lots of sunshine is allowing those chillies to finally ripen in the greenhouse. Here’s a vibrant one, possibly a jalapeño.

More delicate, and outdoors in the elements, astrantia looks almost translucent in the autumn light.

Back into the greenhouse for my favourite chilli of all, the deliciously fruity, yet quite hot, loom drop. And what gorgeous colour.

Rose this year have been magnificent, and they still are. I simply cannot resist including another rose, in the warm afternoon sunshine.

My even more favourite chilli of all, Alberto Rotocco, this sturdy plant often overwinters in the greenhouse, produces huge delicious juicy chillies for a lot of the year, and reliably grows babies from collected seeds, what’s not to love.

After the unusual warmth and dryness of the summer, amarine are flowering magnificently. What stunning colour, I hope they keep up the display for weeks.

I hope you enjoyed my October colour.

Thanks to those leaving comments on the blog – sorry if I don’t always get back to you on time! The blog is going well, but it would be great if more folk on Mastodon, or other parts of the Fediverse got into tooting a Six! Go on, it’s a much kinder form of social media, not controlled by crazy billionaires. All you need to do is find 6 things in your garden to show us. Then post on social, or add a link at Jim’s blog below. For regulars, our organiser is Jim at https://gardenruminations.co.uk/. And I’m on mastodon @julie3dharris@mastodon.scot
