No frost here yet so the garden is hanging on. Many perennials are still popping out a few flowers which the hummingbirds enjoy fight over. I took these photos yesterday, November 3rd.
 |
| Passiflora 'Lady Margaret Red' I'm going to do my best to insulate the roots so it will winter-over. |
 |
| Fuchsia 'DeBron's Black Cherry' Little bulbous things! |
 |
| Fuchsia 'Santa Cruz' (I think) New this year and a very happy camper. |
 |
| Fuchsia 'June Bride' So darn reliable. I love her. |
 |
| Fuchsia 'Tom Woods' Another happy camper. |
 |
| Fuchsia 'Olympics Sunset' Maybe my favorite hardy fuchsia. It's not easy to pick a favorite. |
 |
| Fuchsia 'Baby Ann' Definitely the most floriferous of the bunch. |
 |
| Begonia fuchsianoidies My gift from Mindy last May, still going strong. |
 |
| Clematis 'Venosa Violacea' being coy |
 |
| Clematis 'Mme Julia Correvon' getting a little bent out of shape |
 |
| Bacopa and Lohospermum doing the happy dance. |
 |
| Argyranthemum 'Comet Red' totally outdoing itself! |
 |
| Argyranthemum 'Comet Red' ... see what I mean? |
 |
| And even more! Did I over-fertilize it? |
 |
| Hydrangea macrophylla 'Glowing Embers' The first year it really lived up to its name. |
 |
| Acer palmatum 'Ben Hime' starting to blush. |
 |
| Acer palmatum 'Ben Hime' look at that foliage! |
 |
| Macleaya cordata or Plume Poppy, a favorite! |
 |
| Podophyllum 'Spotty Dotty' Apparently impervious to the end of its growing season. |
 |
| Darmera peltata Also scoffing at the time of year. |
 |
| Hosta 'Great Expectations' Expecting nothing less that a beautiful finish. |
 |
| A NOID green Hosta slowly losing its green |
 |
| Coleus, an impulse purchase, worth every penny. |
 |
| Clerodendrum bungei A plant that seems to pop up wherever it feels like it. |
 |
| Cornus alba 'Argenteovariegata' Admittedly under-valued by me. |
 |
| Colocasia sp. and Geranium palmatum No blossoms on the Geranium but the foliage almost makes up for it. |
 |
| Geranium palmatum with burgundy speckles. See what I mean? |
 |
| Amsonia hubrechtii Poor plant. I always overcrowd it. |
 |
| Blueberry 'Chandler' Everything about this plant is stellar! |
 |
| Imperata cylindric 'Rubra' Japanese Blood Grass Finally my clump is getting thick. |
 |
| Hydrangea quercifolia 'Sike's Dwarf' So many shades of autumn here. |
 |
| Hardy Geranium foliage (and weeds) |
 |
| A tiny baby Sweet Gum seedling! Yes, I'll be taking it out. |
 |
| Deutzia foliage, even still in its pot it looks lovely. |
 |
| Melianthus with water spots |
 |
| More Melianthus just because one photo is never enough. |
 |
| Hardy Banana foliage--still green! A plant which relished our hot summer. |
Happy Fall, Ya'all!
