)like( I like the way the creeper disguises the building LOL

My VC on the pergola used to be quite a lovely display of colour but sadly it died (not sure why as it was well established)

Manda, I thought you may give Spring a mention :-D
Hope it's a good one, you and the rest of New Zealand deserve a good one.

We had a Virginia Creeper some years ago and I really liked the way it changed colour on the leaves, but oh, the mess that it made. It was right outside the back door and all the leaves and stems used to trail in, especially when it was wet.

The Virginia Creeper looks lovely and the change of leaves to red does herald in the autumn. My grape vine is the same. As the grapes turn black the leaves turn red.

Yep, autumn certainly here in East Yorkshire, though our winter flowering jasmine is flowering (normally late winter), and we have two flowers on the Magnolia Soulangeana! Yesterday OH and I had a session taking the sweet peas up, emptying the summer planting tubs, and doing a general tidy up. A lot of the trees in the area are turning, and looking dried up, I am brushing small leaves up from under the carport. Last week I put a vest on!!

Yes my vest is on, and I have flowers on the winter jasmine. Also a few on the pear tree, that is dripping with fruit.
