There’s a real whiff of autumn in the garden as this week’s cheerful flower shows.

I’ve no idea what this Michaelmas daisy is – I don’t remember planting it. What I do know is that it’s prolific and has a habit of running through borders. I’ve pulled up masses but it just comes back. Still, it is rather wonderful when in flower and is filling the garden with shades of mauve.
For a weekly dose of floral cheer, just add your name to my mailing list and put The Chatty Gardener on your ‘white list’ so I don’t end up in spam!
