Gentiana sino-ornata ‘Gorau Glas’ is still going strong after nearly two months. #fairviewyearround

I love these delicate autumn flowering daffodils which have a fabulous scent, but are a nightmare to photograph (unless you have a potful). Here are Narcissus viridiflora and its hybrid (with N. obsoletus), Narcissus x alleniae, both from Oron Peri. #fairviewyearround

This rare and beautiful pterugiform selection of Galanthus bursanus has just occurred in the raised bulb bed thanks to Storm Boelo. You too can create something similar by pulling the outer tepals off, or leave it for the next storm. #fairviewyearround

An incredibly impressive display of Nerine bowdenii in the garden of a local farmhouse.

A couple of Nerine sarniensis cultivars currently in flower in the greenhouse, ‘Quest’ and ‘Orange Flame’. #fairviewyearround

Hyacinthoides ciliolata in the alpine house. Now accepted as a species rather than a variety of Hyacinthoides lingulata. #fairviewyearround

A lovely perennial for late colour, Isodon longitubus. Here in a moist, shady, woodland border. #fairviewyearround

Crocus goulimyi subsp. leucanthus in flower in the alpine house. #fairviewyearround

Galanthus reginae-olgae ‘Tilebarn Jamie’, the same clump on a sunny and dull day. #fairviewyearround

This foliage combination has got better as the season progressed. Pilea ‘Taiwan Silver’ with Astilbe ‘Chocolate Shogun’ and Hosta Guacamole’. #fairviewyearround

Colchicum stevenii ‘Gisser Star’ in the bulb tunnel. #fairviewyearround

The recently refurbished bulb bed with lots of early snowdrops. The end part was only finished today. #fairviewyearround

Some more sunshine this afternoon lighting up the whole garden. #fairviewyearround

Lovely light this evening setting the autumn colours aglow. #fairviewyearround

Several Galanthus bursanus clones in flower today on the raised bulb bed. #fairviewyearround

Cyclamen confusum, a wonderfully scented species that otherwise looks like C.hederifolium. #fairviewyearround

Witch hazels are starting to colour up. #fairviewyearround

Superb autumn tints from Stewartia pseudocamellia with Parrotia persica in the foreground. #fairviewyearround

This beautiful, but vicious shrub is the barbed wire bush, Colletia hystrix ‘Rosea’. The flowers have a wonderful fragrance, just don’t get too close. #fairviewyearround
