Camellia sas. 'Yuletide'. It's in a 3 gallon bucket on the porch after I bought it at a plant sale. It'll probably stay there until it finishes blooming and then I'll plant it out.
![]() Camellia sas. 'Stephanie Golden' is blooming now. A ton of buds too! ![]() ![]() It looks like there are still a few skipper butterflies still out and about. I hope this one found a warm place to sleep last night. Frost was so heavy this morning that it looked like it had snowed. |

Someone needs to turn on the heat and sun here. Even though the sun is shining, it isn't intense this year. I wonder if there is a haze from harvesting grains is filtering the rays.
I have no blooming photos to share, everything is done but a few weeds were still bright green under the leaves that I raked aside yesterday. A good frost here (in the appropriate season, we are expecting a snowstorm tomorrow) usually damages the buds of flower/shrubs and fruit trees. What conditions does it take to damage buds in warmer climates? -Lisa |

The other day I smelled something sweet and thought someone's clothes dryer was running with dryer sheets in it.
Low and behold is was my loquat trees. Lots of bees buzzing it too. |

I like loquat fruit.
Today I found these at Home Depot. The red you can find everywhere, but it's harder to find the other colors. These were very inexpensive so I picked up a pink and white. They stay outside year round unless there's a danger of cold damage.

Bought several nursery plants for winter color. These will bloom all winter long into the spring and they will not freeze. I saw many bees on the pink and white dianthus.

Beautiful pics, Spooky and happy bees! Sometimes I wish we could grow things like that all winter but then I'm kind of glad I get a break from gardening. By the end of November I'm kind of burned out.
