Early snowdrops emerged this week - towards the end of November. They add to my yearly cycle of a flower in bloom on every day of the year! #galanthus #galanthusinfall #autumngalanthus #novemberflowers #flowersinnovember #snowdrops #galanthuselwesii #northviewgarden #whiteflowers

Yellow flowering American witch hazel blooming now - mid November. Hamamelis virginiana is native to Eastern North America. How lovely to have flowers to enjoy at this time of the year. Slightly fragrant. #hamamelis #hamamelisvirginiana #northviewgarden #witchhazel #novemberflowers #fallflowers #autumnflowers #yellowflowers #fragrantflowers #inmygarden

View through Japanese Maple leaves to my new purple bench from Fermob - very comfortable and a great focal point #northviewgarden #bench #viewthroughtrees #focalpoint #japanesemaples #purplebench #fermob #fermobusa @fermobusa

The autumnal colors of this huge Japanese Maple were intensified by the frost last night - in flattering golden morning light #northviewgarden #japanesemaple #fallcolors #autumncolours #morninglight #reflections

Jack Frost feathers on the car window this morning - reminds me of the inside of my bedroom windows when I was a child as we had no central heating - beautiful but cold #jackfrost #icywindow #winterishere #coldmorning #frostywindow

Aster ageratoides ‘Ezo Murasaki’ is a late season Asian aster that has small flowers in October and November - apparently it spreads #aster #asianaster #asterageratoides #asterageratoidesezomurasaki #northviewgarden #fallflower #autumnflower #purpleflower

Crabapples adorn the mossy grass after the birds have feasted. Swipe to see them still on the tree #crabapples #fruitforbirds #foodforbirds #fallgarden #northviewgarden

New log wall surrounding the Moss Garden madd from hollow Sugar Maple logs and Oak rounds - Acer ‘Sango-kaku’ is the yellow leaves tree behind (Coral Bark Maple) #logs #logwall #hollowlogs #acersangokaku #northviewgarden #gardenstructure

Itea virginica or Virginia Sweetspire vibrant fall foliage - another reason to grow this versatile shrub - native to East Coast USA #itea #iteavirginica #virginiasweetspire #northviewgarden #fallfoliage #autumnleaves

Fungal assortment - in multiple photos - Northview Gardens has many decaying logs to photograph #fungi #decayinglogs #fungus #fallfungus #northviewgarden #coolfungi

Nasturtiums are putting on a late season show scrambling over the cutting garden fence. Edible leaves and flowers and easy to grow from spring down seeds #nasturtium #fallflowers #edibleflowers #easyfromseed #lateseasonflowers #northviewgarden

Hardy perennial Chrysanthemums extend the garden flowering season and are great cut for the house too #northviewgarden #cuttinggarden #lateseasonflowers #autumnflowers #fallflowers #hardychrysanthemums #inmygarden #instagarden

An orange dahlia for Halloween - last days before frost. This is called ‘Bedhead’ and grows about 8 feet tall! Not my tallest one though #dahlia #dahliaflower #cuttinggarden #northviewgarden #cuttingflower #fallflower #autumnflower #orangeflower

Last of the dahlias from the cutting garden at Northview Garden - as we prepare for our first frost at the weekend. This is one called ‘Bride to be’ a beautiful white dahlia with a touch of creamy green in the middle as it opens #dahlia #bridetobedahlia #northviewgarden #cuttinggarden #fallflowers #whiteflower #mygarden #flower

Gloriosa Lily is a climbing member of the Colchicum family. A tender tropical bulb but great as a container plant where it is not hardy #gloriosalily #tropicalvine #bermudaplant #redandyellowflower

Breakfast views - sun, rain shower and rainbow all while eating my porridge yesterday - kept it dry under the umbrella #bermuda #cambridgebeaches #breakfastview #changeableweather #oceanview

Turtle Cove with no filter in beautiful Bermuda #bermuda #cambridgebeaches #turtlecove #pinksandbeach

Bermuda architecture is so appealing with its white painted slate roofs to catch the rain water - no streams or rivers in Bermuda - to its painted buildings and ‘welcoming arms’ stairways #bermuda #bermudaarchitecture #bermudaroofs #bermudastaircase #whiteroofs #cambridgebeaches
