Blooming Friday: October, week 2 – hello Autumn
Welcome to Blooming Friday. The weather here has turned much colder. Autumn has definitely arrived and here is the proof.
Some flowers are fading.
Rudbeckia fulgida var. sullivantii 'Goldsturm'
Some flowers are seeding.
Crocosmia 'Lucifer'
Acanthus spinosus
Berries are appearing.
Pyracantha 'Teton'
Late fruits.
Chaenomeles x superba 'Nicoline' (Quince)
Coloured foliage.
Jasminum officinale 'Clotted Cream'
Coloured bark. I know I have shown pictures of this before but I can’t resist doing it again.
Eucalyptus parviflolia and beautiful bark
My tender plants are saying “Take me into the greenhouse. I am way past my best. Look at my hair!”
Strelitzia reginae (Bird of Paradise)
With all these signs of Autumn it is a surprise to see this little plant. He thinks it is Spring. He is in for a shock!
Primula 'Corporal Baxter'

Hehe, funny picture of the Strelitzia! :-)
Love this post! Wonderful sense of humour and fabulous photos!
Wow…I love the bird of Paradise!
Such unusual shapes! You can see how you can get so much inspiration from the garden! wonderful photos as usual! xxx
Wonderful set of photos, EG. I love the leaves, the bark, and the berries!
Very arty post! Terrific and funny picture, I love them/ Tyra
I guess it’s true, fall is upon us. I’ve never seen those fruits on acanthus blooms before. I wonder how hard they are to propagate from seed. It’s such a beautiful but bittersweet time in the garden. Love to look at it, but as you say, it’s time to start moving tender stuff in, which makes it impossible to stay in denial about the end of the season.
Beautiful flowers. Quince , I’m not familier with the fruit I think, can you use it for marmelade?
Lovely pictures, and I feel sorry for the little one who’s in for a shock. The primulas are often blooming in my winter garden – they survive:)
Nice photos from the automne. The nature is beautiful, isn’t it?
have a nice weekend!/

Lovely Autumn photos… perfect … the colors and forms of fall… that quince is something too… and I love the bark so glad you are showing it again I have not seen it before. Great post. Carol
A lovely chronicle of the garden in fall… there is so much beauty to be found in the garden this time of year.
Beautiful and autumn like post! Love it! Have a nice week end!
It does slowly creep upon us and then bam! it’s everywhere. Your images are lovely…Have a good weekend. gail
I wonder what you show the fruit? It is autumn, but there are beautiful flowers with you.
Autumn has definitely arrived – although your pretty Primula seems a bit confused. I have a few confused Primulas too, I can tell you…
it is strange how beautiful they still are.:)
Lovely autumn pictures!
I just love your pictures! Thanx for stopping by my blog!
Lovely photos – I do like that Eucalyptus – wish I had room for one.
I have Primulas in flower too.
