The warm autumn weather has confused some of our plants. So in December we still have perfect roses, this one is "Aloha":
The Autumn leaves haven't been a great show this year (I think it needs a sharper cold spell to develop the colours) but our ornamental cherries are looking bright:
Just next to the pond we have another cherry already in flower:
This is Prunus Subhirtella Autumnalis - another import we brought over from the UK and the third garden we've grown this variety in. It is the first tree in flower - or maybe as it starts flowering in November it's the last tree to flower - and apart from very cold spells it will flower through until March.
It also grows next to where we buried Smudge, our 18 year old cat, in 2013. When she was moved to France Smudge got a complete new lease of life in our rural environment. I took Jess, our senior cat of 11 years, to see Ludovic the vet this week for her annual injections, "Nice fur, good teeth. She's in great condition for her age". Must be something to do with the air - or the ready supply of mice.
