What a colourful Autumn for 2014...it's been amazing...

Autumn 2014:

It's almost finished for the year and the flushes this autumn have been brilliant....
Now that we have planted the mother plants there are only the newer cultivars in pots except of course for Ray's Mayas..they will stay in situ for some years to come I would imagine..
The perfume in the garden is wonderful and it wafts into the bedrooms.



This will always be my favourite when it comes to colour, it has them all and you never know which colour it will open to......Ruffles & Flourishes x Bergkönigin.....I will have to name it this year...













Then there was THE DANCER showing off her colours and her 6 petal tips....




 This is the richest orange that I have seen, it is just gorgeous.....LBG x Bergfeuer



 Though without a doubt Elegant Angel is still my favourite...no changing colours for this lady..

I just had to include this one, not really correct with that (I'm not sure what I am) corolla or calyx, but the hot pink with the green striped top look terrific....
All purists please shut your eyes...

Just to finish off the Autumn, here are a few random pics that I have chosen from the garden
It's been a terrific time and as my Brugmansia population ages, I'm sure that there will be a lot more to come...









Even the whites got in on the act and turned apricot.....they are very pretty,,






 Peach Fantasy decided to put on extra skirts and ended up with 4 of them, I wonder if she'll do that this spring?






No matter what colour The Dancer is, she is always recognisable...
Joli x Charleston, such a lovely shape.


Finally Brilliant Orange, Pink Panther and Platinum Blonde at the top...
