It’s at this time of year that garden escapees and imported trees set themselves apart from our native flora. 🔼 Horse Chestnut is early to colour into autumn 🔽 Himalayan Balsam is happy to carry on flowering

🔽 And here’s another import, though it’s not known for certain whether these chunky snails arrived with the Romans or the Normans

🔼 I never tire of taking photos of the Alder 🔽 nor of the Bittersweet vine, whether in flower or berry

Two summer flowers catching up after the drought 🔼 Water Mint 🔽 and Meadow Buttercups

🔼 No, those white patches aren’t the dabbling sunlight, they’re the Lime Tree leaves adorning themselves in autumn foliage…patchily 🔽 These seedpods of Broom seem to hint at Halloween

🔽 And a magnificent cobweb. Now we know it’s nearly Halloween

The Meadow Buttercups and the Yarrow both look so gorgeous! And look at that little snail climbing the stem of a plant. 🐌

I have photos of slugs doing similar. But most people aren’t so keen on those shell-less snails!

Wonderful selection- the Himalayan Balsam are so spectacular – so to those rose hips- autumn is creeping in just like a spider 😄

I’d say autumn is slow arriving this year. Though I’ve a feeling I usually say that. Maybe I believe autumn should arrive first week in September 🤪

Despite we’ve had rain (this morning heavy rain) we’re not really seeing much change on our walks. Not yet.
