Great pictures thanks for sharing I like shots of the whole bush not just a close-up flower detail pic.

Thanks all!! It IS wonderful to have blooms this late. I got another surprise this afternoon, as another bloom on Popcorn Pete popped open... I thought it was going to be tomorrow, because this morning, he wasn't open. But, I think the cool weather is keeping them closed longer, but also open longer. My bloom on How Sweet It Is from yesterday is still looking beautiful today. Velvet - welcome!! Just wait until spring and you see all the lovely gardens here. You'll need a bib.

Awesome looking yard!! Thanks for the update! What kind of cannas are those. Im bought omega and intrigue in Late august to put in the ground this spring. They havent grown much so Im hoping that when spring comes they do actually grow and they dont sit there and wither away. The cactus, Majesty palm, Dioons, Norfolk Island pine, and everything else, all look really healthy! What are your plans for the Dioons once they go indoors? I just took mine inside today into the garage. It very very rarely goes below freezing (I think only 2 times in the last 10 years), but there isnt any sun and it is cold. Im trying to prevent it from flushing until spring because my sago palm has a terrible habit of flushing when indoors (even in bad conditions). Good luck! Hopefully there wont be a frost tonight!! -Alex

I have to admit that there is something special about a Tiffany bud that makes one grab for the camera. That's a beaut Eric. Also I particularly like the photo of Benjamin Britten. It looks like what one imagine's a cabbage rose should look like! Thanks for the pics! Pauline - Vancouver Island
