This was one of my casualties - the Nicandra physaloides, now reduced to a sodden mess in the corner. But didn't it look lovely as it died.
I thought this Goliath poppy was being a bit optimistic, producing flower heads this late in the season!
Verbena bonariensis is, I often think, at its best after a good frost.
The frost melted pretty quickly but even that sent me into rhapsodies - this is Melianthus major which holds onto the droplets like jewels. The little spider was up early, too.
Another one that's looking good as the frost melts off it - this is Eucalyptus gunnii, kept coppiced for that glaucous, rounded young foliage.
And even the nettles were pretty. It doesn't get much better than that.

We've had snow today - in October!
Horrid frost - but it does make for beautiful photographs.

Pretty to look at but what about my poor dahlias! I was hoping for a few more weeks, since they are carrying so many buds, but came home from London yesterday to find them blackened.
And from the train window, as we emerged from the city grime into leafy Hertfordshire, the countryside looked like a Christmas card scene.
