The Gallery: (The garden in) Autumn
I noticed the other day that we seem to have blossom on our front garden. There are three bushes – I have no idea what they are – and they all have what appears to be blossom on them – there’s a red one, a white one and a pink one. Does blossom even exist in autumn? But if it’s not blossom, what is it? Either way, it’s very pretty.
And then I realised that, despite it being autumn and wet and miserable, and, despite half of it being over-run by ridiculous weeds, there are still some beautiful flowers in my garden. There’s also some lovely autumn colours in the form of red and orange berries. I love the way they grow along the wall.
These have been flowering for nearly six months now.
I don’t know what this is, but it’s very beautiful.
I can’t believe the wallflowers are flowering again already.
But my favourite beautiful thing in the garden, at any time of year? These little dudes.
Linking up to The Gallery at Sticky Fingers. Pop over to see what others have been photographing in autumn.
I never really know what’s growing in our garden either but it’s always very pretty. I love your berries, makes it all so colourful and you know Winter is coming.
Thanks very much 🙂 Damn winter! I hate it.
What a beautiful and varied garden. Who needs horticultural knowledge when it looks so pretty!
Thanks very much! If only I had someone to get the weeds up for me! 😉

You have some stunning plants in your garden. I love the guinea pigs too. We are thinking of getting some this year!
Thanks very much 🙂 I can definitely recommend guinea pigs, they are great pets.
We have many of the same flowers and berries here, it is a lovely mix of colours. No guinea pigs though only rabbits. #TheGallery
You don’t need guinea pigs, you have so many other animals! I wish I had some idea what all my plants actually are!
Wow, what a collection of lovely photos. My little one is desperate to get a guinea pig.
Thanks very much. I can definitely recommend guinea pigs!
Okay I’m not sure how autumnal the guinea pigs are? Any excuse eh? Lovely photos, your garden is lovely
Maybe not THAT autumnal, but they do look good all year round! Thanks very much.
Thanks very much, it amazes me how much colour there still is. Of course I avoided showing you the weeds!
Such a happy post of colour and sweetness. I love how The Gallery theme always helps us to take a closer look at our surroundings – and sometimes helps us see what’s right there, ‘in our own backyard’! In the busy lives we all lead and the ups and downs of the parenting roller-coaster, it is those moments – when we stop and appreciate the little things – that we feel the best. Thank you for your post. It was really delightful to click through and see your post.
Thank you! What a lovely thing to say! You’re right, I love joining in with The Gallery because it makes you think out of the box and look at things in a different light you might not otherwise have featured on your blog.
How lovely to still have so much colour in the garden, those little dudes are fab!
Thank you! I love my little dudes 🙂
What lovely pictures, and such cute little piggles!
Thank you! I couldn’t resist including the piggies there 🙂
I love how you’ve managed to sneak the guinea pigs in to the post! Very cute 🙂
Thanks very much! I couldn’t resist sneaking them in there!
you still have so much great color in your garden! and i don’t know what those blossoms are but they sure work!
Thanks very much! It amazes me how much colour there still is.
Love the guinea pig photos 🙂 I use to have some growing up, they are great pets! I’m envious you have berries on your pyracantha, ours is still all leaves!
Thank you! I had no idea what that was, so that’s really good to know!
We only bought the guinea pigs recently. I never had them as a child myself, but I think they’re great pets.
You still have lots of lovely colour! I have no idea what most of the plants in my garden are called… we have a landscaper starting, so I’m hoping that he can start pointing things out to me 🙂
That sounds amazing! I would like a gardener to help us stay on top of the weeds! They don’t ever stop growing.
Awww! Guinea piggies! We have some here too, perfect pint-sized lawnmowers aren’t they? I’m loving how much colour there still is at the moment, although some plants look a bit confused as to what time of the year it is to me!
Thanks for joining in again xx
Thanks very much! I thought the plants were a bit confused too! The guinea pigs are just ace 🙂
So much colour – the blossom is wegielia (I pronounce it why-g-lia -no idea if that’s correct or not!) and the berries look like pyracantha – they probably have very thorny stems so take care!
Thank you, that’s good to know! One day I will learn all of these names – and I’ll watch out for the thorns!
