Autumn may have begun, but we still have some flowers, and the acer's leaves have changed colour:



We bought the verbena when we went to Charlecote Park and it's grown really well.

The pots still look good, the heathers are doing well, and the begonia (I think) we brought from my mum's seems happy with the move:



We've had quite a variety of colours of snapdragon this year.  All are self-seeded but clearly don't care.

Oh! Ok. I was trying to figure out if it was like eggplant/aubergine. :)

Maple is so pedestrian and common, marketing needs something exciting and new, even if it's torn from Latin by way of Carl Linnaeus. Also, Japanese Maples do need more careful environments so marketing them as acers makes it more likely the new plant parent reads the care instructions.
