In Pictures: October's summer gardens

Rhododendron

Warm autumn weather has confused Britain's flora and fauna. This rhododendron, from a garden in Cambridgeshire, usually blooms in May. Photo: Jan & Lloyd Wilson.

Flowering cosmos

Maybe the Norfolk sea air has helped these cosmos reach six feet in height - more than twice their normal size. Photo: Colin Williams

Dahlia

In Merseyside, Barbara Hurst's pink dahlias continue to stretch out the summer. She's using the flowers to help raise awareness for breast cancer charities. Photo: Barbara Hurst

Red shrub chrysanthemums and rudbeckias

These red shrub chrysanthemums and rudbeckias in Loughborough have been flowering for seven weeks. Photo: Sandra & Barry Lockwood

Forsythia

Forsythias usually flower in the spring. So is this one from Hampshire too late for 2006 or starting early for 2007? Photo: John Hodgson

Garden in Loch Lomond

In Scotland, this garden near Luss is in full bloom on the banks of Loch Lomond. Photo: John Rafferty. Send your images to [email protected]
