My Copper Canyon Daisy from Sheila started blooming!!
December Color
The Coralberry's berries are so bright and cheerful.
So are the Pigeonberries
This bee is enjoying the red shrimp plant I received a few spring RU's ago from Smock.
The Possumhaw Holly has burst forth in red berries for the birds during the winter.
Girl, you are making me jealous!!!
Great pictures, Stephanie!
Carla
lol My new possumhaw had one berry, but something ate it before I could take a picture.
Anybody get snow?

Not here, just rain and down to 32.
Spitting little pellets of sleet this morning. Seems to have cleared up now but still overcast and cold. Nice change from this summer! =)
That it is! I put all of the tropicals (well most anyway) in the makeshift greenhouse, using the frame of the gazebo, like a few years ago, so hopefully they'll be OK. It's already down to 31. No snow predicted for our area!

25 here this morning, I hate the cold!!!!
It got down to 29 here this am. It warmed up nicely and I finally got out there and watered as it supposed to be cold for several hours again tonight.
It's already 29 out there now. I covered the tropicals with sheets inside the makeshift GH best I could. It is sooooo full it's hard to read all the way to the other side. Hopefully they will be OK. One or two of the plumies still have their leaves on them! Nothing is brown yet, thank goodness.
Take care and stay warm!

It seems kind of odd to me, but my rosemary is blooming now.
(Edited to correct spelling of rosemary. I was just reading an article about Rosemarie (the actress) and must have been thinking about her when I typed this!)

Oh my goodness, Stephanie! You mean your shrimp plant is winter hardy?? I love them! I had a yellow/orange one a few years ago, but it wouldn't tolerate the cold. Boo.
My red one has come back from the roots for the past 3 years. If I get a baby in the spring, I can give it to you.
My yellow jasmine is going crazy and it normally doesn't bloom until Feb.!
This weather is crazy! No wonder the plants are confused! haha!
Have a great weekend!
Daisy blooming
Some roses have lots of red hips
Some are still blooming (Arathusa)
Cassie Rose
Snacks for the birds
I know it's OT... but why is it called a hip?
My first Daffodil of the season.
Normally this variety blooms in the middle of November, so it is late.
It is sooo fragrant ...
Normally all of those are blooming already.
I guess I need to be happy that they are still alive after the crazy summer we had here in Dallas.
One more reason to be happy: LILIUMS are alive !!
Looks like fall and spring over at your place!Love those roses and hips. I never thought a daffodil bloomed in the fall. Do you know what kind it is?
bananna18 it is:
'Grand Soleil D'Or'

It is sooo fragrant and normally I make bouquet to take inside the house and you can smell them everywhere.
Usually they start to bloom at the middle of November, but this year they are late ... but I think I am happy that they didn't dye during the crazy summer of 2011 !!
This picture was taken on 23 November 2010
Good to know.Nice that they are fragrant. Did you get them at NHG?
No I bought them online a few years ago and I dunno remember where .....
Love pansies
I have planted 31 flats of pansies this year ... weee
Pansies of every color
I was able to pay $7.99 for a flat of 18 pansie plants at the downtown Dallas farmer market ... weeee
Some of my roses are still blooming. Look at this huge bloom
Cassie rose always blooming in my back yard
First Toadflax of the season. It is a volounteer
Great deal on the pansies drthor. I love Johnny jump ups
My first attempt at growing an Amaryllis. Looks like I will end up with five blossoms from one bulb.
