Today I share with you ten plants that are still thriving ....in fact , they are probably happier than they were a month ago, due to the less intense heat we are now having...a bit like myself really!
As you can see, the sun is still shining though, as I said, the intense heat has gone from it. Autumn/Fall is very different, here in Spain, from what I was used to in the UK. There is certainly a change in the temperature (for the good,as far as I'm concerned!)...the early mornings and the nights are colder, but from about 10am to 6pm the sun is pleasantly hot enough to let mum and dad soak up some rays, before they head back to cold, dreary (their words!) Scotland next week.
To see some other 'Ten on the Tenth' posts, pop over to Shimelle's Blog ...you're sure to find something to interest you!
Thanks for dropping by!
take care of you

That's a really nice idea for a 10 Alison - and your plants certainly do look like they are thriving. Wish I could say the same round here lol
ReplyDeleteoooo lots of lovely colour - lots of lovely sunshine! I feel sorry for your Mum and Dad going home to wet, dreary Scotland!
ReplyDeleteGlad your Mum & Dad are still with you and enjoying the weather. Your plants look great and I have surprised myself by being able to recognise and name several - most of which are now dormant in my garden.
ReplyDeleteOur Lizzies all died this year - some sort of awful resistant mildew - going to have to abandon them until the garden centres can get a grip again!
Some beautiful plants there,Alison....we have a few still flowering,but most have 'packed up' ready for winter.
ReplyDeleteYour plants look great, a bonus to living where it stays relatively warm for a long time :) Can't sai I blame your parents, the thought s of going somewhere cold and dreary depresses me. Enjoy your last days with them :)
ReplyDeleteGreat idea for a set of 10 :o)
ReplyDeleteThey look lovely in the sunshine. My fuschias are still thriving too, but I'm not sure for how much longer!
not many flowers left here, your's look lovely
ReplyDeleteLovely photos - so glad you are getting some relief from the heat (we are too . . . finally).
ReplyDeleteMy Geraniums are still blooming, even though (I'm embarrassed to say) I haven't watered them in a few weeks. It's pretty much this time of the year I get tired of all that watering and now that it's Fall I know they will be coming out of the ground soon :(. Your flowers look very well indeed and thankfully they have a reprieve from the heat!
ReplyDeletebeautiful pics and looks really sunny with you, I know how your parents feel, though we have had some sunshine today luckily! So glad you got your parcel I sent out I think 5 good mail items and you are only the second person I have heard from that has received theirs, hoping the others have arrived! enjoy the book xxx
ReplyDeleteWe have a very similar weather here in Southern California and even the same types of vegetation. I LOVE your yellow Hybiscus!
ReplyDeleteI love your garden! I'm a big fan of pots and yours are looking wonderful!
ReplyDeleteWe are just coming into summer but my plants still don't ever look like that :(
ReplyDeleteBy the way, what programme do you use to get your pictures nicely set like that. I would love to make collages of pictures in sets of 2/3/4 etc. Maybe I need to get Photoshop for Christmas from my husband?
ReplyDeleteSome lovely photos! I envy you your sunshine - sounds wonderful :)
ReplyDeleteYour plants are looking gorgeous, and I'm very jealous of your sunshine!
ReplyDelete'Cold and dreary' just about sums up today round here! Lovely to see some warmth and colour on your blog if I can't get it in real life :)
ReplyDeleteWell those beauties look very healthy indeed! Hibiscus also grow amazingly well here & I have LOTS of them in my garden too!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI missed this 10 things on the 10th so it was lovely to see your post with it's sunny shots. It has been sunny here in Essex too, but with a nip in the air. And we put the central heating on for the first time last night. Hope your parents are enjoying their stay, they will notice the change in temperature when they go home!
ReplyDeleteSome lovely plants/flowers there Alison. Glad the temperature is more to your liking although, oops, just realised a later post suggests otherwise - off to read that one properly.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy the cooler temps that fall brings too. I think it must be quite a bit cooler here in Ohio. Our plants are faded or fading fast! Wonderful puzzle! I haven't put one together in years! I spend my time scrapping these days - LOL! Love this LO ~ I just made it my Pick of the Day over at Scrap-Friendzy. :-) ~ Blessings
