How nice to be able to see some things flowering inside.  My new planting box contains my Lantana, some geraniums and BE susans I potted now.

 

Imagine my surprise when I found this rose bud in November!

I have another gladiolia pic to share...

  For those of you that think these are still blooming in my yard...they aren't !  We have had 2 nights in the teens, so everything is done a long time ago.  I "stock piled" some pics in an album to have pics for this thread.  Charlene

Despite the cold temp. here, this is a picture I took yesterday morning.  I was doing my AM tour of the gardens, when I realized there was still quite alot of flowers struggling to bloom.  Perhaps they received some protection from the over-hanging trees, but we had severe winds during last wkd, so there isn't many leaves left.  I had to take a sheet of ice off the birdbath.  Must be time to plug it in.Smile

Sherry I love that daylily. Do you know it's name? I have a picture of my perennial geraniums. I have been very happy with this variety, it has been blooming since early summer and is still going strong.

Cosmos....I think it is the Siloam Doodle Bug by my records.  I get most of my daylilys from Spring Hills. Here is what it said by the picture:

 

Elegant 3-4 " blooms have lemon yellow to cream petals with deep burgundy black eyes and dark green throats. Grows 20-25" tall.

Cosmos do you know the variety of your Per. Geranium? I have the white and it only blooms in late spring then not again all season.

Molly, It looks like a crainesbill to me but not 100% positive that one is. Mine bloom twice if I trim them back after they bloom. Mine get so huge that I have to trim them because they take up too much room and then they bloom again...

I bought a couple of pots of impatiens and begonia's in the house, hope I have enough light! Wish I had a greenhouse. Oops! Just remembered I put some flowers out in my coldframe.

  With the first storm we had this Bouganvillea felt and broke, I don't know if it will come back...

Hi Molly,

It is a crainsbill but I will have to look up the variety. I think I still have the tag at home. I won't be home again until 11/5 in the evening. But I will try to find the tag when I get there. I have several crainsbill geraniums that bloom in the spring but this is the only one that blooms all summer and fall.
