Brave November Hearts

18-11-2018
The first cold spell including frosty nights has passed and we’re back to mild and rainy weather. Trees are dropping their leaves and strengthening their roots by swaying in the autumn wind.

The young apple tree is holding its ground.

Meanwhile, an extremely brave-hearted Gladiolus is flowering! All summer, Gladioli here and in other gardens did nothing whatsoever, due to the extraordinary weather. And now, in November, this one Gladiolus is in bloom. The last Cornflowers of the season and the almost continuously flowering Potato Vine are keeping it good company.
