In the garden with the hydrangeas (and a rose)

I had a quick wander round the garden with my camera on a nice sunny-ish day.  The hydrangea above (Coco) still thinks it's summer and is flowering.
Whereas the hydrangea here (Merveille Sanguine) is sure it is autumn and has turned beautiful shades of red.
 My latest hydrangea (Magical Revolution Blue) has turned green with touches of purple.  I really like this plant which is compact and pretty.
 If you part the flower heads, there are still some touches of blue.
Rosa Mundi's leaves had turned a lovely buttery yellow which is lighting up this part of the garden.  I am enjoying the autumn colour while I can as I don't know how much longer it will last.

    Loved wandering your garden with you, and hope you can enjoy the autumnal wonders for a while yet.

      Thanks, EC. There are still plants to enjoy and I hope this will continue too. I haven't insulated my pots yet, so hope the cold weather will stay away until that job is done!
      Best wishes

      Thanks, Jo. I haven't really noticed the rose with that much colour in its leaves before - either I am not very observant or it's to do with the hot summer. It really was shining out.
