You have plenty of colour in the garden. The Goldfinches bring their own colour. Sunflower hearts must be a real treat for them but worth it to see them in the garden. Amelia
Oh you nerines look especially lovely, Brian! How nice to have a good clump of them – I have had no more than 2 or 3 in my pots. Do you have any spare seeds of your white lychnis by the way? I hoped to save seed from mine this year but collected very little and none germinated so perhaps they were not fully ripe
Thanks Brian, I did wonder if the needed a cold snap, but I am sure I have sown them in the autumn before – and I sowed collected seed from pink and occulata vareties at the same time which germinated successfully. The white doesn’t seem to make as strong plants as the others, in my experience anyway. All great plants though, and I wouldn’t be without them
We have had a glorious autumn on the whole, and your garden just continues to provide pleasure for everyone. Thanks Brian for sharing pictures and a glimpse of some of the wildlife.

I have saved some Cathy. I will post you some. They may germinate in the spring after a cold spell.
