In an English Garden - in September (I)

Left a composite picture, Cyclamen hederifolium with the soft purple of Geranium pyrenaicum "Bill Wallis" in the background. This itself is set off by the bronze leaves of one of the New Zealand Carex, probably buchanii.

Left, Verbena bonariensis, a plant very much in fashion for it's airy purple topped candelabras. Above right, in a very much brighter vein one of the New Guinea Impatiens.

Above left an unseasonable display from an unnamed clematis. On the right a pot of Impatiens that brightened the shady patio outside the study window.

Above left a small autumnal display from Geranium maccrorhizum. On the right one of the ericas in flower.
