I no longer recognise the country I live in, but at least the garden thrives and I find joy and brightness all around it. This week, there’s so much colour for later autumn in my #SixonSaturday. I’ll start with an experiment. Cold weather is on its way, and so many dahlia had buds, so I’ve moved some into the greenhouse to try and stretch the flowering season a bit. This one seems to like it, though glowering at me in a slightly sinister manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also sheltering from the wind and rain is a stunning small, but perfect flowered bright red dahlia. It is so hard to capture the colour when the camera over-saturates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the theme of red colour, euphorbia foliage will get knocked about by the wind soon, but while it stands, it glows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the other end of the garden, in a very dry spot against a south-facing stone wall, nerine have come into their own. the very dry summer hasn’t stopped them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And yet, there are still outdoor dahlia performing for me. This one had red-yellow blooms in summer, which are washed to mostly-yellow now, still looking lovely against chocolate foliage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And surely, this must be the LAST flush of flower for the big blousy all-white dahlia, which is too big to manhandle into the greenhouse? Check in next week to find out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another week, another Pm resigns, hay ho…. I hope you enjoyed my #SixonSaturday despite all the fuss. Stay safe, take care out there, get a flu jab if you can afford to (its going to be a tough old winter, again) and don’t forget to follow the crowd on twitter.
