2010 GARDEN PHOTOS #33

Wow clem still blooming....which one is that?

Love the mum!

Great bird house Marilyn.
Have you seen the ones made in Ireland with thatch roofs?

Some people in the area still have roses.

Roses - - - yes, we have half of one still hanging on.

We are zone 6a so probably have a few more. Neither of our 2 Austin roses had a second bloom this year, probably because it was so dry.

Our roses are NOID's left by former owner.
Climbers into the Vibernum. Looks sweet in June.

This is Baby Blessed going for its rebloom.
Planted this in May.

I picked my rose bloom and brought it inside to enjoy. We are having hard freeze temps the next three nights, that should get all but the toughest plants and any in a sheltered location.
Happy Halloween everyone.

Well duh, forgot to ask about your bud there JoAnn which is why I posted in the first place. Will you cover it the next few nights or bring it inside or let nature take its course one way or the other? I hope you can see it open.

Yes, cut it & bring it in if there's a freeze warning. I still have roses, peppers, & a few green tomatoes.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN, EVERYONE!

Here are some pumpkins I carved today.

Karen

Ichabod's Fate

Bat and moon....

Nice! Love Ichabods fate!!!!

Very cool pumpkins

good job Karen!!!

Like the pumpkin eyes.

Not outdoor blooms but i've got indoor blooms.
Orange Hibiscus that i've lost the tag to and of course I didn't write it down.

Straight on, odd combo of tomato orange and hot pink. I didn't like it at first but it's grown on me.

'Sunny Wind'

Again...dbl. bloom

Another no-named variety...now I wait for the blooms to open on the Thanksgiving cactus. It's a little early this year as it's already budding really well, maybe 20 buds already!

So pretty!!!!

fabulous

nice - i do not do indoor blooms - time for a rest:)

Love all the jack-o-lanterns. Very creative.
Those are very pretty blooms pixie. I am with Bill on the indoor plants, just not enough sunny windows. And the kitties think most plant material is for them.

Thanks, guys!

Beautiful hibs, Celeste!

Karen

Great pumpkins, Karen! And Pixie, love the hibiscus....my Thanksgiving cacti are just opening.

Thanks everyone!

like a breath of fresh air Celeste!!!

Someone gave me this Thanksgiving cactus last year....sort of gold-colored.

Here's mine. I have had it over 20 years.
I cant remember ever seeing so many blooms.

RD that is really different.. nice JoAnn!!!! both are great!!

Really pretty cacti you both have there. Never saw a gold one before. Had an old fashioned Christmas cactus for years and years but it got knocked over and then slowly declined. Yours look very happy.

Beautiful, JoAnn! My pink one needs another few days. I have one in the kitchen that I forgot to move....too much light....so it has 2-3 buds only.

Very nice, you two.

I posted some pics on photobucket the other day that I took at Blithewold Mansion in Bristol, RI last Monday (Oct. 24). Here's the link:

Beautiful Karen, looks like a great place to see!!
Robin that is a unique color on the cactus, really nice soft color!!
