Garden Bloggers Bloom Day November 2025

 How could it be November already?  Or, to be exact, November 15?  It's time for Garden Bloggers Bloom Day, hosted by Carol at May Dreams Gardens.  Each 15th of the month,  flower gardeners from all over the world gather virtually to show what is blooming in their homes and yards. 

In my zone 6a Southern Tier of New York garden, we've had our first frost. So I will start with indoor flowers.

African violet.

This is a new plant to me.  I purchased it last Friday, and apologize for the blurryness.  The two tiny flowers, which are supposed to open at night, are blurred, too. This is called a concrete leaf plant (Titanopsis calcarea).  I seem to have good luck with succulents, so we'll see.  This is in a tiny pot.

Finally, one of my Plectranthus, which I informally call a Charlie plant.  Years ago, a woman in Ithaca, New York gave me a cutting.  What I have now are cuttings from that original plant.  When I asked her what it was, she said it was a "Charlie plant". Whatever their name is, they are blooming their little plant hearts out on my northern window. 

As for the outdoor flowers, I thought I would have my potted up cuphea that are located near a vent for our heating system.  They escaped frost, or so I thought.  Apparently, last night did them in.   But I took a picture anyway.

And that's it. 

If you are hungry for more flowers, why not head over to Carol at May Dreams Gardens and check out what other gardeners are posting? 

Thank you for stopping by!
