November Blooms=Let's See Yours Too!
The little bit of rain we received over the weekend certainly made these guys happy. So glad I finally figured out how to label my iPad photos.

November 2012: what's looking good or bad in your garden?
Comments (17)AWESOME euqruob, awesome! How did it taste?? We want to see/hear more. Great growing there as usual! Here's just a few fun quick pics of things looking good right now. Good ol' Hippeastrum 'Mrs. Garfield' with her beautiful variegated evergreen foliage and nice peppermint striped blooms. She blooms off and on all year long in afternoon shade. 'TexMex' geranium (Pelargonium) blooming away in a big gothic style terracotta pot that I've been carrying around for ten years or so. This variety is new and is supposed to be "especially heat-tolerant" so we'll see if it lasts longer than my usual types. Even those are good now through mid-April or so. And I know, they're gaudy, but what can I say? I love petunias, striped ones especially, and since they are so easy here autumn through late spring, I tend to go overboard at this time of year. Full sun, regular food and water and you'll have blooms until mid-May. Happy gardening!

Comments (15)When I look out my kitchen window nowadays, I see a whole lot of grasses with some shrubs interspersed. This is what I see as I step out the kitchen door and walk a few steps. A lot of it is also visible from my computer window. I moved two blue hollies to the right of the birdbath this year to improve the winter view. The hollies were being crushed by overgrown roses. There are three American hollies in there too, two of them Ilex opaca 'Goldie'. Last year they had many yellow berries; this year only a few. I think they tend to alternate years but I'm not sure. The foxglove path looks like it will bloom again in the spring. These are all volunteers. I probably should have moved the one crowding the rhododendron but I don't want to do it this late. The rhodie looks healthy so I think it will be OK. The cotoneasters hanging over the stone wall (yes, there's a stone wall under there) are beginning to turn red. I like the yucca with the cotoneasters. Close to the house are a couple of Virginia Sweetspires (Itea virginica) with leaves at different stages of turning colors. The Geranium macrorrhyzum at the foot is a shocking green compared to the other fall colors. This leucothoe is usually half hidden by other vegetation - it only showed up when the other leaves died back. I probably should move it but it was miserable in the last place I put it and it has thrived here. I'm thinking about clearing the space around it a bit so I don't have to move it again. The branch is a remnant of the big old crabapple that was massacred by the utility tree pruning crew. I'm letting the branches compost in place as an informal border by the septic field/bird feeder area (this is not a high visibility area). Claire...See MoreNot too bad for mid November ...
Comments (31)It's the only day the dr. does surgery, plus primary dr. has to do a physical and issue okay even tho surgery is done under local anesthesia. hand is in a partial cast so it doesn't hurt much. after the bone is pinned the hand can be used, tho i probably won't be digging any holes for awhile. if not pinned it never heals as the break can't be stabilized. i never knew all that ... :-)...See MoreWould it too late to sow perennial seeds in November?
Comments (18)I also have a wet winter and I’m concerned the container will be full of water. I read that article but it doesn’t state if it should be open or not(unless I missed it). Those plastic salad containers have the lid on though. How do you keep those circulated? I‘ve successfully grown a couple perennials directly sown in the ground too such as forgot me nots, rumex acetosa, and chives but then again they are so easy. When I grew them successfully I thought I can grow most other perennials directly sown on the ground but guess not....See More

The colors of Paradise Found are really quite beautiful, the individual blooms glow like plasma lights. I have long lost any enthusiasm for the original Paradise, but have been impressed by this new and improved version. However, the rate of growth is very slow. I don't know if it will shoot up next year or third, but in its first year it has yet to reach my knees. Churns out big fragrant flowers nonetheless:

7 years agoJust wanted to share these photos of Young Lycidas that I planted about a week ago after a trip to Regan Nursery's 50% off sale. It's been great getting roses into the ground during the exceptionally warm fall.
YL nestled between Evelyn and Happy Child. I heard that YL's heavy blooms can flop on the ground so I saved this spot in front of the rocks so he has some support, at least from one direction. Evelyn flops on the rocks all the time. Please excuse decorative garden stakes not in the right spots right now.
YL's color is so hard to capture.
This photo better reflects the true magenta tone.
Also planted The Alnwick Rose, Gentle Hermione, and Princess Anne. Only the fact that I have a really tiny car (Miata) prevented me from buying a few more. I got two roses in their giant containers in the front passenger seat area, but had to remove the other two roses from these large cardboard-type containers and put them in garbage bags. The root balls were very strongly intact so I lucked out. All roses are planted and looking great! That's my November rose story.

7 years agoI find in my climate that roses don't develop fragrance; they are what they are fragrance-wise when I first encounter them. Roses like Abe, Brother Cadfael, Double Delight, Fragrant Cloud, etc. were always fragrant from day one and that was why I bought them. Here are a few shots of BC I took today. Normally he stops flowering by September/October but this year, between the early October rains followed by warm temps, he's decided to stick around a bit longer. I wish I could transmit his fragrance but we don't have that technology just yet.
Strong storm with winds expected tonight so this is the last I'll probably see of BC for the year.

7 years agoI picked the last few this morning prior to our first snow of the season, which just started to fall. Here is Buff Beauty, a few nameless white minis gifted to us by my husband's late mother (so we've taken to calling it the Audrey II in her honor...it is so hardy and a blooming machine, but no fragrance.), and a balled up Violet's Pride. Enough to fit in a shot glass.

7 years agoI took these photo's yesterday before it got cold. After several weeks of low's in the low 40's, everything has been so slow to open. Going to have our first light freeze tonight and tomorrow night. Perfect weather to shut everything down for a while.
A nice, big bloom of Kardinal.
A few tattered blooms of Marlon's Day.
Let Freedom Ring hiding in the middle of the bush.
My Mavrik bush with a bunch of buds that will probably never open any further then what they are now. And yes, you see black spot. I haven't sprayed anything since the last weekend of September. All I do is water everything once or twice a week. Depending on the weather.
Shameless. A really nice miniflora.
First Choice. Another great miniflora.
Beautiful hip's on Rosa Rugosa.
A nice spray of Eutin.
The mini, Glowing Amber. I REALLY like this rose.
The mini, Black Jade. Notice the dead aphids. The frost's over the past week did them in.

7 years agoPatty, it's almost as bad here, plus the awful deer infestation we have had since early September have made things worse. As of Dec, the only good looking blooms I have are on my two big Julia Child roses. Even the little baby Julia in back has a bud, though the deer stole the rest. All my other roses have quit blooming, or have frozen blooms. We will have lows in the teens in a few days, and that's got to finish off Julia. Diane
