The summer abundance is long gone, but here and there blooms still linger, or are even putting on a second or third flush.

Happy Thanksgiving! Flowers are just one of many things I am grateful for.

Giving Thanks For flowers
We haven't had a frost here yet in the city by the sound. Saturday while Tom was finishing up his project I went out to see what I could find still blooming.

Roses
Geraniums
Fuchsias
Plectranthus
Primroses
Golden fever few
Kaffir lily (Schizostylis)
Lamium
Himalayan honeysuckle (Lycesteria formosa)
Aging hydrangeas
A single native salal bloom
Not a flower, but pretty as one. Not many left on the trees now.
Rosemary
Winter jasmine, blooming early.
Skimmia
Bacopa hanging on in a planter.
Cyclamen
Abelia kaleidoscope
Fatsia Japonica
Winter blooming mahonia. Our year round Anna's hummingbirds will be happy when this opens up.
A mighty mushroom pushing up through the gravel in the driveway.
Basket of Gold (Aurina saxatilis) reblooming
Erigeron karvinskianus - Mexican fleabane
Lingering black petunias
Hebe
Seedling lobelia
And in the garage, where it has been moved for now, since it is too big for the greenhouse, the Brugmansia has several blooms. It started late this year and isn't ready to quit.
But it's time for me to quit.

Wow, you have lots of blossoms. My yard is all coppery brown.
ReplyDeleteI am grateful for your flowers, too. We had a pretty hard frost up here last week, and I think last night might have finished off some of my front porch plants. It's 28°F right now. But you are farther south, I guess, where it's much warmer overnight. :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm amazed by all your flowers and that you know their names. we had a freeze the other night but our wildflowers in our yard survived and are blooming-Desert Daisies...
ReplyDeleteI bet that Brug is leaving a wonderful scent inside the greenhouse. We've had an overnight frost here nearly every night for the last week and a bit. Just enough to leave a rime on the shingles and to freeze the dew on the grass, but strangely not quite enough to collapse all the Dahlia foliage into mush.
ReplyDeleteWhat a variety you have still blooming. Yes, you have a lot to be thankful for but your plants must also be thankful that you and Tom are their caregivers.
ReplyDeleteWow you got plenty stuff still blooming. I do too but we have had several days or mornings of frost. Last 3 days it was 24f when I got up so there ya go.
ReplyDeleteHAPPY THANKSGIVING TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY

Have a very happy Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteYou have quite a variety of blooming flowers/shrubs for the middle of November!
ReplyDeleteHave a very Happy Thanksgiving!
You certainly have lots of blooms. They may not be in their prime but are still very attractive.
ReplyDeleteWe've been really lucky this year to not have a frost yet. Lots of pretty blooms in your garden still. If we're lucky these will keep going until the hellebores start blooming.
ReplyDeleteI'm sitting here looking out at the snow packed on the street and dreaming of warmer temperatures. Your photos truly make me envious! They are absolutely lovely. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteLindas flores.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your bloomers! Happy Thanksgiving to you and Tom and the rest of your family:)
