Late October - And The Garden Is Still Hanging On...

Up until a few weeks ago I would receive SMS photos from my mother of the yellow roses I planted in her garden outside Oslo this summer, but Jack Frost arrived and now Mamma's garden is asleep.

Our Surrey garden, however, is still going strong. Coming originally from a much colder climate I am enchanted with all the flowers this late in the season. Dahlias, of course, are standing firm in the rain but so are my lovely white snapdragons and most of my roses.
