These are the flowers we had in the garden in late autumn 2021, taken mainly on 20 May 2021. They're not all overly pretty, but the purpose of the photos is to record what was in the garden at the time.
I've been watching the Buddleja weyeriana for some time. It's still flowering, but not looking overly happy. Here last month and this month:

Yes, it's still alive and flowering, but the leaves are looking unhappy. It might be the weather, but it's about time I took some cuttings and also repotted the main plant.
For what seems the first time, the trees in the front garden (birch and cherry) both look like autumn:

It may have been a bad year for the garden, but the north garden (up against the north side of the house) has really filled out, in particular the Alyogyne huegelii and the Cannas:

As a result, the Hibiscus rosa-sinensis is well protected and flowering happily, a far cry from the way it looked in the spring (first photo):

There, too, I need to make some cuttings.
And practically for the first time, our lime bush has borne more than one or two fruit:
|

It's still not much to show for nearly 13 years.
On the other hand, the tomatoes have been an absolute catastrophe this year. The ones I planted in soil are still not ripe:

And the ones I left, neglected, in a pot, have only now started to ripen:
|
One surprise was a half-circle of mushrooms in the front garden:
|
|
My understanding is that these circles grow outwards, but this is the first time I've seen them.
