Lovely flowers!
I hope we can keep this thread going over the winter. I think a couple of people have greenhouses. Or sunny windows? Happy growing over the next several months!

Thank you, Moustache. I so enjoy seeing the variety of blooms that others have. People who plant something have hope in what the future will bring.

Very pretty ginger plant. I have to grow it indoors in my climate. It grows really tall, maybe it doesn't get enough light and stretches. I ALWAYS manage to knock it over. Was yours, Rajun, started from the grocery or did you order a fancy one online? How long do the blooms last?

More blooming today
A perennial hibiscus that is my neighbor's plant, but is growing over our fence. He has three plants and they are huge and covered with buds. Next are canna, and lastly ruellia (wild petunias), which reseeds and grows like weeds everywhere.
This morning I repotted three grocery store miniature roses, each of which had four individual plants in their tiny pots. I separated the individual plants and repotted to larger containers. Now I hope for the best....they weren't looking too good. Donna, Texas Gulf Coast Last edited by SpookyShoe; October 18, 2018 at 05:39 PM. |

Hibiscus still producing
This potted hibiscus is still putting on blooms. It was on the front porch but I moved it because there wasn't room for the Halloween decorations.

While cleaning out my gardens for winter here in northern Michigan today, November 3, I found all these flowers to make me smile. Trycytis, Flowering Kale, and Nearly Wild Rose

And there were more. The first is geranium sanquinium, my all time favorite perennial. Also butterfly bush with rudbeckia "Little Susie" in the background.

Love the Tricyrtis. I must look into that one for myself.
