My garden is slowly going to sleep for the winter months. That's what I tell my grandchildren. I just love the autumn colours that are around this time of the year. Names of plants under the pictures. The Pomegranate fruit is never eaten but left for the birds over the winter months.

I have several bird baths around the garden. Today I have up to 8 white-winged choughs deciding to bath together in one. A magpie was far from impressed.

About 5 years ago I divided my Scadoxus multifloras katherinae and has taken this long to flower again. I feel that I have either not fertiliser them enough or they just like to be more crowded in the pots. This year rewarded with 7 flowers.

The annual ladybird migration has started. This time they were in the flue that my husband had just rodded out before we can start our fire. They are now being removed to our garden.

I thought this was just a plain succulent with not much interest. I was right about it being a succulent but the star flowers are interesting and it is called Orbea Variegata, commonly known as Carrion Flower or Starfish Cactus. Is from South Africa and can grow up to 50cm wide by 10cm high, with a slight off-meat smell to attract flies.
