Orchid in bloom indoors.
Enjoying the Autumn Sun
Still flowering strong: Dahlia merckii.
Dahlias
The first Dahlias have opened and are great in the border or - if you have plenty of them - great in a vase at home.
Red Admiral and Red Valerian

Luckily I have not removed this valerian seedling. A red admiral has visited today and didn’t mind posing for a photo. Read more about butterflies here. This website helps you identifying and learning more bout them.
