Whilst the ivy is still flowering and attracting bees, also the occasional butterfly, the Nerine bulbs have come into bloom, just in time for the autumn equinox.
Still there are flowers, As the daylight fades -- Spider lilies.
I have a made a note in my diary to find more of these amazing blooms to plant in my little garden for next year. Also I need to add more Asters like this compact variety.
I’ve just read that the autumn equinox is considered to be the doorway to winter, a time to let go of the past and move forward. So, for today and the next few weeks, let us all enjoy the beauty and colours of the remaining flowers in our gardens.
Happy Autumn Equinox.

What beautiful flowers! Happy Autumn Equinox to you! I think we have some native Asters here that I should consider planting as well. I was so busy over the last few years putting in the “structure” of trees and shrubs that I’m only now starting to expand my understanding of perennials and non-woody plants in the landscape.
Hi Melanie, thanks for your visit here. Yes, Asters are great for autumn colour & of course to help the pollinators. 🌹🙋♂️
Happy Autumn Equinox too, Ashley! Beautiful photos as always. Still there are flowers….
Thank you, Friedrich for your good wishes. 👍 We try to have flowers for pollinators for as long as possible in our tiny garden. Follow the link below to see flowers for every day of the year!

Thank you! A very good presentation 👍☀️🐞
Happy Autumnal Equinox, my dear friend. Indeed, a time to let go of the past and move forward, without however letting the moments pass unnoticed! 😉 Beautiful haiku and photos!
🌸🌱🔆🙏
Dear Marina, thank you for your lovely comments. Each moment is precious; each season too. 🌹🤗🙋♂️
🙏✨🌷✨
Lovely floral images, Ashley! Yes…get ready for the winter!!
Thank you, Indira, for your visit and lovely comments. I must post more on Flickr 📷 🌹🙋♂️
Those Nerine flowers are beautiful, Ash! And I love your hokku! I enjoy anticipating what flowers will bloom during the year. Happy Equinox, my hokku brother!
Happy Equinox, dear hokku brother! Nerines originally came from South Africa but they seem to be happy enough here in northern latitudes, flowering in autumn. Thanks for your visit. Enjoy what’s left of the weekend. 😊🙋♂️
Indeed, Ashley, let us enjoy all the colours, we have now. I really like those Asters. I think I like to get them for my garden too. 😊👍
Hi Ute, as the skies grow grey I’m already thinking about what I’d like to have in the garden next autumn! More Nerines & definitely more Asters. We must look after our pollinators & we must keep our own eyes filled with colour. 🌹🙋♂️
Love your Asters. I did not do well in adding them to my garden 😦
Thank you, Rosaliene, for your comments. I like Asters not just for their late colour but for attracting pollinators. 🌹🙋♂️
Happy Equinox, Ashley! Love your images & verse as always. Enjoy the change in seasons. ☀️
Thank you, Lisa. Hoping you managed to plant some bulbs in your garden. 🌹🙋♂️
No bulbs here. My garden is small and I am still getting squash & have just picked a bunch of beans. I bet your bulbs will flourish! ☀️
Happy Equinox to you!
Thank you, Happy Autumn Equinox. 🌹🙋♂️
Beautiful flowers! Hope you are enjoying the autumn equinox. 🤗🍁🍁🍂✨
Thanks, Jennifer. Every season is special but perhaps autumn allows us to slow down & make plans for winter. 🌹🙋♂️
I love that… Autumn is the door way to winter and letting go of the past for a new future… Such a great practice. And I like the idea of growing plants that flower later. 🌸👌🙋♀️
Dear Morag, I love to see flowers late into the year especially if they help pollinators. The Spider Lily (Nerine) is originally from South Africa (19th C) but they seem to be happy enough in these northern latitudes. I must find more to plant. 🌹🙋♂️
That’s amazing, I thought I recognized it. I feel like a complete novice when it comes to plants in the UK. Happy plant hunting. 🍂🍁🌸🍁🍂🙋♀️
Maravillosas flores, querido amigo! Feliz Equinoccio. Un abrazo.
Gracias Bárbara por tus buenos deseos. ¡Feliz equinoccio de otoño! I hope Google Translate got that right. 🌹🙋♂️
Beautiful flowers and words ¡¡ Happy autumn equinox 🌳🍷
Thank you! Hoping you also have a happy autumn equinox. 🍷🙋♂️
Lovely Aster blooms! I agree, Ashley, if autumn comes, can winter be far behind! Happy Autumn Equinox 🌹🌻🙏
Many thanks, Kaushal, for your lovely comments! 🍂🙋♂️
Lovely haiku and the flowers to match. Nicely done, Ashley.

Thank you, Nan, for your lovely comment 🌹🙋♂️
These are really beautiful colors. I’ve got a few flowers left too and I’m savoring them as we head into cooler temperatures.
Bridgette, I’m surprised the Nerines grow here as they originated in south Africa! But it looks like they are happy enough here! 🌹🙋♂️
I love this time of year. The late blooms, the turning leaves, the fallen leaves, the angled sun and its shadows. Your flowers are beautiful!
Thank you, Resa for your lovely comments 🤗🌹🙋♂️
