Garden flowers of November
This is primarily a collection of images of the prettier flowers than pop up around the garden in the month.
I'll start with a survivor-iris. I've called it that as Frances thought she had transplanted a lot that were not doing well to another bed and we then found regrowth. Obviously a small chunk of tuber had been left. But we aren't complaining!
This is the first flower of the transplants.
Another transplant comes good.
A friend gave us some Columbines (often called Aquilegia) and they have turned out yellow, rather than the dark colours of most of our specimens.
A pile of sweet peas - this variety are strongly scented, which is why Frances bought the seed.
The flowers are also pretty.
A lily in a pot. (There will be much more about lilies when the big jobs fire up later in the year.)
A micro-Salvia.
The next two images are sort-of natives, in that the genus Callistemon is native to Australia. However I suspect these have far more to do with selective breeding by humans than natural processes.
I will include a couple of vegetable snaps here, justifying this, if I need to, as the shape of flowers past and flowers to come. Our broad beans are starting to provide very nicely.
And the spuds have survived a late frost quite well.

One f the previous owners of the place did a fair bit of 'cottage garden' stuff. That may be where the 'Love-in-a-mist' came from.
A snapdragon (aka Antirrhynum)
