Just a few things blooming in my yard
Comments (11)Thanks for the ideas on the gazebo,I think I will try some of the Iris's there and what ever else I can find,the woodsy look is because I live in the woods and love it no neighbors,just me my hubby and the critters.Don't get me wrong I love people,but some folks just thrive on drama,and that I can live without,know what I mean? The rose is a Rosa hybrid,but it is very fragrant like a rose is suppose to be,Mike my son bought it for me. I love the color of the Iris's,my husband says they are coffee color,lol.I also have some big purple ones but they haven't started blooming yet,it takes longer for the sun to get back here in the woods.

Comments (15)Very nice merkity, to add multiple photos in a single post you will need to load your photos on to a host site like photobucket and then copy and paste the HTML link into the post and it will load as many photos as you want.

Comments (61)Here it is almost November and I have a few late bloomers I thought I'd add to this topic. I do wish the photos fell into the category of spectacular as the topic heading suggests, but I take comfort that I do still have flowers to enjoy. Here's a floppy Aconitum and a late blooming Echinacea. and a very pretty Silene uniflora Druetts Variegated Bat Face Cuphea below. This plant is extremely floriferous from mid spring to frost. Also a bee magnet. I bought Ratibida pinnata in a 4" pot in August and never expected it to bloom. Suddenly it shot up and teased me for a long time with its many buds and finally yesterday I caught sight of yellow rays opening out.. I felt as excited as a small child at holiday. And it's almost November! i mustn't forget my wonderful ever blooming Penstemon Sour Grapes which is still showing quite a few flowering stems. It really has been in continuous and generous bloom since mid-spring. And here's some fall color from A dwarf Japanese Maple And one of my favorite fall color plants, Itea virginica 'Henry's Garnet', because it retains this colorful look all winter. And now for a pretty Fothergilla gardenii, probably Mt Airy A blueberry's fall display is almost as pleasurable as its berries. A dwarf Ginkgo just shy of full fall color....See MoreNovember Blooms=Let's See Yours Too!
Comments (102)Patty, 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 Julia in December Evelyn in late November, eaten the day after this photo was taken Evelyn late November Augusta Luise in late November Boscobel in November Jude the Obscure in November Munstead Wood in November I think that's enough for now. But the only one standing in December is Julia Child. Diane...See More

5 years agozone 6 b—Just a few here and there. moved four today and planted one new climber (Laguna) from Pat at Roses Unlimited. I was afraid I would not get this in, had to wait for the ground to dry out after the heavy rains here in Western North Carolina. A couple Buff Beauties, Honeymoon Climber, and a Sunshine Daydream. Kristine LeGault, love that Munstead Wood and the Olivia!

5 years agoLilyfinch - I think Evelyn likes a dry climate. Mine is finally taking off in year three.
My Amazing Grace put out exactly one bloom this year after planting this past spring. However, she was strongly fragrant and pretty. I'm looking forward to seeing more of this rose next year!

5 years agoOh, my goodness! I've made a list just from these pics.
Must have Olivia.
Would love to give Amazing Grace a try - sooo gorgeous! Lilyfinch, Belinda's Dream looks like you flipped the 'on' button and forgot to switch it off. What a bloomer!
That photo of Marie Pavie is deliciousness.
Princess Anne is the floofy, tousled kind of bloom I love.
Iceberg hedge, wow!! So effective.
Twilight Zone fell victim to the weed torch, so he is a tiny little guy. His blooms are huge and out of proportion to the wee little plant. They are almost black in person.
Dainty Bess has never been bushy and full, but she blooms well.
The rose I'm most enamored with is Sonia Rykiel. I used a black background because she's in a weed patch - temporarily.
Cooler weather brings out Desdemona's color. She's usually ivory.

5 years agoflowers - I love your Sonia Rykiel! I ordered it from RU but it turned out not to be SR and it doesn't appear that Pat can offer it. Where did you get yours?
Here are two more photos of the one and only Amazing Grace bloom I got. She took about two weeks to go from bud to finished bloom. The scent was really lovely and I'm glad I got this rose.
How did you create a black background for SR? Is that done through a camera setting?

5 years agolast modified: 5 years agoAll these roses are looking so beautiful. I just went outside and took pictures of whatever survived last evening rain. I have to go back and start deadheading and picking up rose petals from the ground, but I’ll post a few pictures before I go. We have been very dry the last month, but finally got an inch of rain yesterday.

5 years agolast modified: 5 years agoYou all put up such perfect pictures of gorgeous roses! I have 20 late roses in bloom after the driest and hottest summer in living memory in Sweden. I had lost interest in the garden and my roses but when the rains and the chillier weather finally came and the garden perked up I got interested in gardening again. I went out to buy two Chandos Beauty, to add to the one I already had. It's one of the best smelling roses I've met. A modern scent, both sweet and fruity with a spicy accent. I had to pick all flowers before planting. They lasted for six days in the vase.

Frederic Mistral - brilliant in spring flush, quiet all summer, blooming again now. Pics don't do this grand ole rose justice.
My Dainty Bess baby. I'm thrilled with her!
Stainless Steel - breeze made pics blurry, but she's a champ in my garden.
Windermere - I wish I could share the amazing fragrance from these blooms. So sweet, slightly lemony old rose fragrance.
