The view through my window

The autumn colour in the garden is amazing at the moment. I keep thinking it won't last much longer but it just keeps going on and on. The view from our dining room window is lovely. There is a blaze of colour from the cotoneaster horizontalis which is almost the same colour as the red brick of the wall it is growing against. Below that the astilbe foliage is now turning from yellow to a pale golden brown, contrasting well with its dark seedheads. This border and the one on the other side of the window are know as the 'shady borders'. they are in deep shade most of the time and astilbe, hostas, ferns, euphorbias seem to grow well here.

Looking further down the garden the oak tree, is still hanging on to its golden leaves, and below that is a weigela now turned a bright yellow.

The 'yellow border' where I grow yellow/orange/red coloured plants looks more yellow now than it ever does during the summer.

Down the left hand side of the garden the 'pink border'  has pink/purples and dark red flowers during the summer with a contrast of golden grass. It has now taken on a more golden theme from the astilbes, grasses and hardy geraniums and has some lovely maroon colour from the evergreen heucheras.

In other areas of the garden the hardy geraniums have dark red tints.

The deutzia has also taken on red tones.

What  autumn colour do you have in your garden now?
