A Painted Lady on Symphyotrichum novae-angliae'Primrose Upward'. The warm sunny this week have seen good numbers of butterflies in the garden, after rather a scarcity of them all summer.

Symphyotrichum'Little Carlow' - invariably outstanding.

Colchicum speciosum'Atrorubens'. The colchicums have avoided being bashed about by the weather in this rather dry and sunny autumn.

The crinkly segments of the Drakensberg version of Nerinebowdenii are very distinctive.

Kniphofia'Cool Knip'

Roscoea purpurea'Cinnamon Stick'. This species flowers for a very long time in late summer. 

Small Tortoiseshell on Argyranthemum 'Levada Cream'.


Billowing masses of Symphyotrichum novae-angliae'Rosa Sieger': thinning the stems in spring gives them space to develop to maximum effect.

Red Admiral on 'Rosa Sieger'.
