Thanks to the vagaries of the seasons, I have never yet seen the blubells at their best - they are either only just coming out, or they are beginning to fade.
I've never seen the autumn colour for the same reason - autumn is either too early, and the leaves have gone or, more likely, it hasn't started properly and the garden has closed up for the winter (which it does on October 31st).
I went along today, and some trees are losing leaves without doing more than just fading a bit. Others are just looking a bit anaemic. Even the acers (decorative maples) pictured below started life dark red, and have just intensified their colour to make them look so stunning. Really, for autumn colour, this was it.

Beautiful hardly describes it, but that will have to do for now. Have always wanted to visit England, but since that isn't likely to happen in this life time, I am so grateful you share bits and pieces of it through your blog. Thanks!!!
My drive to work isn't usually that picturesque, but at the moment, the tree along the canal are really putting on a show!
Um.... there's more than one tree (sorry!)
Gorgeous!!!! Our foliage looks great too.
Lovely. We're missing some (not all) of our usual autumn colors here in Chicagoland, too. Those summer temps kept popping back up.
how beautiful. it strikes me that this place is beautiful all year round, no matter when you visit. but, continue to do so and to take lovely pix.

Beautiful. Our color isn't lasting..One day it's cold, the next hot. I wish it would just make up it's mind!
