The following pictures were taken yesterday in my garden. I could NOT believe that it was November 2nd and there were still lovely flowers still blooming. Can you say global warming?
This silly lilly is still blooming. Okay, it's not as pretty as it should be, but it's still blooming. I don't think I've ever seen any of our lilies bloom this late in the year.
Over the summer, the sister-of-my-heart, Leann Sweeney, sent me a lovely hydrangea. Isn't it pretty. It's been blooming since mid-summer.
The marigolds are still going strong, too.
And one of my favorite flowers, cosmos--still in full bloom.
Are they still here this morning? I'm afraid to look. The temps dropped to the high 30s the night before. But even if they're all gone today, they were there yesterday, and they were PRETTY!
Is anything still blooming in your garden?
My mums are still going strong - hearty little things that they are - but everything else has pretty much given up for the year. And I've brought all the potted flowers on the deck inside for the winter. But then, we've been below freezing several nights already. Had to break the ice on the birdbath yesterday morning.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the lovely pictures.
Your flowers are beautiful. I hope your day is the same.
ReplyDeleteI was surprised to go into the backyard on Monday & found our azalea bush had bloomed -- again! Beautiful purple flowers that had (mostly) bloomed and slipped away before I noticed. Still, some were still there and I got some pictures of them. Wow. What a lovely surprise.
ReplyDeleteSo glad your posies are still giving you such pleasure! And thanks for sharing them with us. I'm really happy to see fall (and winter!) held off a few more days.
There are some lovely flowers..Thanks for sharing. I am trying to remember all their names!
