The summer containers are giving way to hardy succulents and grasses as an outdoor focal point.

Pyracantha climbs up the trellis on the house. Its berries are favoured by birds once the cold has set in. Rosemary starts to bloom at the same time, offering some nectar for the Anna’s hummingbirds.

Lacey surveys what is left on the beck deck. Still quite a bit, considering this is November.

A container of Callicarpa bodinieri ‘Profusion’ has not yet lost its leaves. The hakone grass is still hanging on as well.

I like the look of crocosmia berries in the fall. An evergreen azalea is the background.

An indoor succulent collection reflects what is going on outside. I saved the names of everything, but there are too many to list!

Sitting on the kitchen table – pruning gave vases full of eucalyptus leaves and camellia, hydrangea, and pieris branches. Too lovely to throw out, they will keep for quite a while.
