|
Here we are just a few days from the beginning of November and I still have blooms in my yard! (Here in Ontario, that NEVER happens!)
These Impatiens are usually LONG gone
Same goes for the Morning Glory
I have 4 pots of these red Geraniums and they have all started blooming like crazy!
The Roses are blooming their little hearts out
Lambs Ear anyone? I have it popping up everywhere I put compost this spring! This garden is getting a makeover in the spring and the Lambs Ear will be moved to other gardens and shared with friends.
Nicotiana (note Lambs Ear here too!)
These Dahlia's are really putting on a show
This Flamingo Flower has been moved inside but is still blooming (Thanks to Olga for the seed  )

Lovely flowers, Netty, thank you for the colour splash in an otherwise grey day. Nice to see others also having too many lamb's ears. Most neighbourhood children have their own now.

Lovely Netty. 
You have great color in your garden at this time of the year. I thought that since winter will be hitting the northern hemisphere that most of the flowers would either be dormant or dies down.
I showed this post to my mother and she was quite amazed and she has this to say: "Flowers only bloom for those who care for them and if they bloom so long after their 'due by' date then the gardener must have shown them a great deal of love and attention."

Wow the differance in the climate change
just from Ontario to Mich.I have no flowers left in the yard. My rose is done, all my lillies have been done, the climentis is done. My begonias, geraniums, nasturiums, some merigolds are all put in the greenhouse to keep alive for the winter months. Glad though you still have your flowers bloomimg for you. Thanks for sharing.

Everything is soooo pretty Netty. I especially like the way the Lamb's Ear is coming up in a zig-zag row, something soothing about none straight rows to me.
