Evening all. First off a Vase to join Cathy. I am late for In a Vase on Monday but I hope I will be forgiven. 
These are roses from David Austin, rose ‘A Shropshire Lad’ with dahlias from Sarah Raven and opium poppy. ‘Black Single’.
I hope you had a Vase to share with Cathy and the many other growers from around the world.
Now to my Tuesday view. Cathy Of words and herbs , rather than rambling Cathy who hosts IAVOM, encourages us to record a view in our gardens throughout the year. It is both a useful record and interesting to see the impact the weather and seasons are having on our chosen spot. 
From the ground up, this shot shows the carpet of Persicaria affinis catching the morning sunshine. This is a very happy plant and I will have to be cutting it back before it takes over the lawn.
Molinia Transparent is doing its job well. A transparent screen. 
White sticks of self sown Sanguisorba canadensis mingling where they choose.
Behind the Molinia is Coreopsis moonbeam, still flowering.
Today has been lovely but in exposed parts ( the garden, not me) there was a nip to the air. Autumn is coming in fast now. We need to make the most of these last flowers of Summer before the scene turns brown and crisp.
Just look at these lovelies. 
Erigeron, stipa, now known as Nassella tenuissima, verbena bonariensis.

Ooh, that last photo is lovely Dorris! The Erigeron is gorgeous. And I had no idea Stipa had been renamed! I love your opium poppy too. 🙂
Thanks Cathy. I didn’t realise until I double checked my spelling of tenuissima.
What stunning combinations Dorris. The molinia is fabulous and I am a great fan of sanguisorba.
An Opium poppy in October is an unusual sight. I love the black ones.
Hi Chloris. It is the first time I have had some of the black poppy seed and I love it, sumptuous. It is very late to flower but better late than never.
The bright light and lovely blue sky emphasise the beauty of your chosen view Doris. I love the last image of the Erigeron – such a useful plant.
Thanks Christina. A blue sky makes anything look better. I love Erigeron however it is threatening to engulf my drive, I am going to have to be ruthless
What a sultry vase – and just from three blooms! You have a big clump of ts little persicaria which seems to be the only one that has thuggish tendencies – I took a couple of tiny offsets from mine last year to move to the shrub border and they have made a noticeable clump already. Love the white sanguisorbia – and it self seeds?
What a dense carpet of persicaria flowers. What are you feeding it!?
No feed given however the soil is heavy clay and previously it was a paddock for goats and poultry so perhaps decades of droppings help!
The garden views are lovely, but I am infatuated with the poppy. Wow.
Amazing isn’t it. October is not when I was expecting it. A sumptuous colour. From sarah Raven
