Although some autumn colours are beginning to show in some plants many others are still flowering or about to flower (if frost stays away).

:mrgreen: As always it looks superb Andy. I personally think you have one of the best gardens I have visited. So many of the plants you grow are the ones that I like but I could never achieve the look or setting that you have.

Looks amazing Andy, not just a great overall effect, but each plant in such good condition. Your garden really has enjoyed the extended summer.

Some really good stuff there Andy, did the Bomarea caldassii ever flower? I ask because mine kept getting eaten, and was trying again when I left so not much chance of flowers this year

Thanks for the kind compliments guys.
Mark, I can thank you for a number of my plants. Remember the lumps of Semiarundinarea fastuosa and Phyllostachys nigra 'Henonis' I had from you?. They are now screening my neighbours house and garage from view
