It's time for the November edition of Garden Bloggers Bloom Day. Once again I thank Carol at May Dreams Gardens for hosting this 15th of the month meme.
Where we live in the Southern Tier of New York, the growing season is over.
The frost has come and gone in our zone 5b garden. Almost all of my outdoor flowers have met their fate. The perennials are entering their winter sleep. It's time to plan and dream.
Today, the forecast was originally snow showers. Now, it's more clouds and beeze, but it will be an unpleasant day.
So.... These pictures are from yesterday, when the sun shone briefly. I took my several remaining hanging baskets (none in really good shape) out for a photo shoot. But first:
I have two outdoor flowers left.
Inside, one houseplant blooms - one of my two specialty African violets.
Other than that, what I have is from hanging baskets we've brought in at night. We probably won't be keeping these going much longer.
Bacopa.
Last, but not least, my cuphea, which has been outdoors all this time next to the exhaust pipe for our heating system. The extra warmth has kept it going.
We've been busy inside, though. I rooted and potted about six Bravo impatiens plants. These, hopefully, will winter inside along with two coleus I rooted (not sure they will make it). I also tried to root four cuphea cuttings using rooting hormone. One looks like it will make it.
That's it for November. See you next month!
Do you like to flower garden? What's growing for you today?
Pretty!
ReplyDeleteI had forgotten about Vinca, my mother had them in her yard.
I hope your cuttings will root and do well.
Happy Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day!
...for this time of year, you found a lot of color.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos.
ReplyDeleteI'll try growing obedient plant from seed again. Your plant volunteered, didn't it? Your annuals have sure hung in there.
ReplyDeleteLovely blooms. I do love those hardy petunias.
ReplyDeleteAnd now winter sets in in earnest?
ReplyDeleteWow ! The obedient plant is something that I haven't seen or heard about before it is very interesting. It would be my pleasure if you participate in my Gardening link up party here at http://jaipurgardening.blogspot.com/2021/11/garden-affair-lycoris-lily.html
