Here is a brief garden update -- yes, there are things still in bloom, because this is the Pacific Northwest and it's only mid-November. Granted, there aren't a lot of things in bloom, and I suspect some of them to be weeds, but hey, maybe it's better to have a few pretty weeds than no flowers at all.
I planted these snapdragons in May. They didn't bloom until August. They are still blooming. Go figure.
Not a flower, but a lovely fall color now on the Japanese Maple:
This is my favorite floribunda rose, which has been in continuous bloom since late May:
The white flowers in between the hostas are what I think is a weed -- I certainly didn't plant it, though it is attractive, so maybe I did. Who knows? It's blooming, and that means I'm keeping it for now!
The white flowers look a bit like chamomile to me, but I'm not so sure that you should brew it into a cup of herbal tea. I have some salvia that continues to bloom, and one of the camellias had a new flower on it a week or two back. I've got some tomatoes that have finally ripened too.
ReplyDeleteIs there *ever* going to be a not-rainy weekend? I'd like to get to the Fill one of these days without being soaked.
Tomatoes in November? What is the world coming to?
DeleteYes, we will have a sunny weekend just precisely when it is 30 degrees outside. Or when the next home Husky football game ties up traffic. Bah!
I can deal with the cold temperatures. I think. But I suspect that it will be sunny only when I'm out of town or sick in bed.
DeleteBeautiful. It's nice that you get so much color basically year round. I like the weeds if that's what they are!
ReplyDeleteI love snapdraons, just bought some seeds myself. I also noticed a little black and tan flower in the last pic.
