Abutilon Beverly. Don't know how to stop underlining. Eeeeek! It's chasing me. I sort of remembered the name. I thought Japanese lantern which led me to Abutilon.

My orange Abutilon. I've trimmed it quite iften so it is more dense than is usual for the species. I have other colours , red, apricot , white another pne i can't remember. They're quite o lovely plant but alas do not like vases.

Walked out of work to see an Amish buggy yesterday. I love horses.

Don't know how to stop underlining. Eeeeek! It's chasing me.

You crack me up, DeborahJane!! When you are posting a reply - see the U in the upper left corner? The one you clicked to underline? You have to "unclick" it. It will have a green box around it if it is on.

Good time to prune pea supports ?

Heck no!! Twine them together across the top, and make a trellis!!

Look into the garden,
Where the grass was green;
Covered by the snowflakes,
Not a blade is seen.
Now the bare black bushes
All look soft and white,
Every twig is laden,
What a pretty sight!

Verdun, from the pic you've posted it appear that garden has been there for some time now?
I see quite few large residents throughout those beds-very nice!

Thanks mg guy.......a view from the kitchen window......yes, throughout the garden has quite a few "large residents" .
I do enjoy putting plants together.....contrasting or complementing shapes, colours and textures

woke to frost on this last day of October, fall is in motion, though many trees here haven't really turned yet, due to the warm weather this year.
the buckeye next door.

the back has taken on it's fall feel-though the lawns remain green!

Nice to be in a mild part of the world mg guy but it means autumn colour here is not great.
Great colour there
