Can you believe it's already fall? But I have to admit, I love the cooler weather.

Some nice pics. Like your rose of Sharon and your noid plumie. The bird feeder is sweet looking. What a neat idea for the mailbox. Looks like you got a little rain from Ike, it totally missed us. I really don't have any pics to share at this time. Some of the plants are already spent and the others are in a resting stage. :(
Not many blooms here.

Your plants look great. It's been so nice out. I hate to think that I'm going to have to move everything within the next month : (

OT First Iris Blooms (2 pics)
Q
Comments (9)
I adore iris. City Lights is my favorite here, it really glows, doesn't it? I had a big iris garden in Montana, maybe 50 varieties, mostly tall bearded, so many that I kept on going and planted all up and down the alley way. They grew so happily there, andd there was a grower (hundreds and hundreds of varieties) right in Billings! It was a sight to behold when they were all in bloom. But I've given up on them here and am trying to concentrate on flowers that like Delaware. OK, here's something to never do. Don't go back to your old house to see your flowers. (Sorry, Kay, I'm hijacking your post). I did this one May and the iris were all gone. Christine

First Day of Fall

My flowers are giving me their last best efforts with blooms of the season - Roses, Lantana, Salvia, Cannas, Periwinkles, Cosmos (again), Ageratums, Zinnias (still going), sunflowers, Morning glories, Cypress Vines, Snapdragons, Vincas, everlastings, tall Nasturtiums, and others. My Rose of Sharons are blooming for the first time. So beautiful! They are white with pink eyes and two have very large Lavender-blue blooms, as big as the hardy Hibiscus blooms were. I am just thrilled! Blue and white asters, Creeping Verbena, Geraniums. My Pentas are readying to bloom. My Blue Fortune "Agastache" Hybrid Anise Hyssop is still blooming and smells yummy. The colorful Coleus-es have spectacular Fall colors and bloom spires and all the Chrysanthemums are either blooming or they are budded and ready to burst forth any day. Mums of many colors. The wildflowers that are blooming are white & Blue Bonesets, Asters, Liatris, Yellow Prairie Gaillardia, Tickseed Coreopsis, Tall Goldenrod, Sunflowers, Sunchokes, and many of the prairie grasses are blooming. Days are very warm with cool breezes, but nights have been cool and sometimes chilly. The Cedars put on their powdery blue berries and bittersweet vines turn golden yellow and show off their orange-red fruits that close up to form berry-like seeds. We need some rain so our trees and shrubs will attain their pretty fall colors, otherwise they will just turn brown and fall to the ground. I love Fall. The Virginia Creeper leaves change from deep green to gorgeous Autumn colors of red, yellow, light greens, purples, pinks and oranges with their pretty blue berry clusters. I love the cool, crisp air and the smell of wood smoke in the air. I love seeing golden hay bales or rounds in mown fields and hazy, foggy, cool mornings, and the riotous racket of young rooks that fill the tree tops. Golden leaves that shower in a whirl to the ground and the crunch of them under foot. I love the smell of decaying leaves and fungi that spring up out of the ground through the dewy grass. I love the big, fat garden spiders who weave their massive webs at the end of summer. I love being wrapped in cozy blankets with mugs of steaming, hot cocoa and sitting around a crackling fire on a chilly night when the skies are so clear and the stars so bright that you can almost reach up and touch them. Every season offers its beauty. Fall gives its all to dazzle us.

I definitely would wait until its a little bit older, but definitely try it outside, they are definitely one of the hardiest palms but a big problem is too much moisture so I will probably put a plastic bowl over mine during the winter. Thanks Keith! I dont give my oleander any major protection. Last winter I just protected it about 4-5 nights when temperatures were below 20F, but the winter before I kept it protected much of the winter since it was plain cold outside. I protect it like my palms, some lights, a frost cloth, and a garbage bin. It worked well when it was younger, but last year I was only able to give it a frost cloth on cold nights since it was too big for the garbage bin. They are easy to protect since you can tie it up and make it very narrow, I think they are easier to protect than most palms. They look really messed up coming out of their protection, but all the leaves pop back up with a little sun. -Alex

Thanks everyone for all the wonderful comments about my pics I am so glad that you all enjoyed them.

tropicgirl-I am really loving the cooler temps and yes fall is here.

karyn-Yea pretty soon it will be time to bring everyone in for their winter nap.

kylie- I am going to check and see what I have extra that I can offer on the trade thread.

Theresa & neonposey - The mailbox project was DW idea she saw it at another home, but they had used a plastic pot so I went a step futher and bought a clay pot that had a hairline crack in it for only $40.00 it was regular $280.00.What a deal!

Lucy-Ideas for fall planting in TX, my choices are sweet potatoe vines and kale with many colors to choice from.

I love how fresh eveything looks in your gardens. And oh, to be able to grow such tropical beauties! Everything is really lovely. I have a soft spot for the Epi's! Looks like you got a Crown of Thorn's collection going there- I didn't know they came in all those colors.

And yep, we made it thru all that heat and dry! Now comes our reward!
