The wind has been blowing all day today. The squirrels are busy clearing the walnuts from the tree, burying them in our garden and leaving the rejected ones to crunch under our feet. Summer is definitely nearing its end and autumn is coming.
On the allotment the cosmos and dahlias are flowering abundantly as they are supposed to feeling the onset of Autumn. The sunflowers are producing lots of small flowers as well.
At home I made a small posy from Chrysanthemum coronarium 'Primrose Gem' and rose Graham Thomas. Not sure how either will do in a vase, but we'll see. I also added one aquilegia flower, which I found to my surprise in a weedy border. (In the picture you can only see the back of it) Some time last year I did put in some granny's bonnets and this one has obviously barely survived until now and has gotten a bit confused about the seasons in the process!
Ps I didn't manage the flowers on Friday, as there was simply too much going on, but I hope to do my next bunch again this Friday. No promises though!
