September has arrived too soon for some and not soon enough for others. Although the astronomical equinox will not
peak this year until September 22, 2020, at 2.30pm BST, meteorologists divide
the seasons into three calendar months so, using this method, autumn started on September 1 and will end on December
1, the start of winter. Spring will then
begin on March 1. Let us hope we can be
back to meetings at Paxton Hall before then.
Judith showed us the dark red foliage of her Bergenia
ciliata 'Dumbo' and Heuchera 'Red Lightning' https://www.heucheraholics.co.uk/Heuchera_Red_Lightening/p3666016_15638397.aspx

Other members brought Asters, Heleniums and other flowers which extend the season and we
discussed the Berberis sawfly, for which we would appreciate to find a solution.
