I think as we are that much further North than most of the rest of the U.K. and the fact that we have had two frost’s already, that we are more advanced in our Autumn colours. I am not a fan that we are now beyond Autumn Equinox and that the daylight is shorter than the night, even though we have longer daylight hours than most during the summer. But it does mean Winter is just around the corner. But I do so love this time of the year, even though a lot of plants have given up, the colours are fantastic. Give it a few weeks & I will be able to show you true Autumn colours from our wonderful Perthshire trees, after all this is the “Big Tree Country” with so many British records for their sizes.
Below are a few colourful areas from within the garden, SWMBO is particularly proud of that front door display which shows itself off so well at this time. The Cotoneasters are delightful as well, though I do not expect it will be long before the birds start to eat those berries. The large red leaved plant ( I am not the gardener so do not know it’s name) is beside the garden pond and looks wonderful. Also you can see we still have a wee bit of bedding plant colour left in the garden , but not much.
