After the heavy rain, not as bad here as in the south, temperatures have been quite good hovering around 15°C and remaining dry although it is forecast to go down to around 10° toward the end of the week with light rain tomorrow. I am still planting out some hardy perennials I have raised from seed plus a few geraniums that I have acquired as the soil is still warm.
Staple of the herbaceous border, phlox always remind me of autumn shows where the open cut flower class used to be full of them.
One of two acers I bought at a knockdown price from Aldi and brought with me to the new garden. This one is still in a container.
The king of autumn berries, this is a plant I bought last year as I have never been without one for as long as I can remember.
The other cut-price acer planted in the ground this time, I thought I had better take a picture before the frosts.
Something for winter colour, I tend to think of elaeagnus as being a less flamboyant brother to the euonymous.
More for winter colour, this is a fairly new introduction I think which caught my eye last year.
Unfortunately I think I have almost exhausted the available plants for now in my small garden, so fingers crossed, I might manage one more Six on Saturday.

Elaeagnus and euonymous were pruned here this week. It was time to cut back the crazy stems that grow up to 1m high (and you will soon have this task to do in a few years)
About your Six, you also presented a phlox ( white) , but yours is much more flowery than the remains of mine(pink)

‘White Spire’ only grows to about 40cms. but I can’t say the same for the elaeagnus so I am thinking it will outgrow its container. How the phlox has survived I don’t know, the flowerhead is much smaller than those that were produced earlier but it has been battered by the rain and buffeted by the wind and yet somehow has remained almost pristine for at least three weeks.

The pyracantha really is the king of autumn berries, I hope the birds enjoy them.

The birds like them so much that they can disappear a little too rapidly.
