Show us your Bloomers #2

I didn't think I'd have any more bloomers to show but I found this English violet blooming right through the snow yesterday.

Then I found this Johnny Jump Up. Very brave little guys.

bebop - love the flowers thru the snow pics!

Bebop - those shots of the violet and the Johnny are amazing. What guts those little guys have!!! :)

Those are great snow shots! Poor little plants, thats what I call a fighter!

Louise, you must feel so fulfilled to be able to garden year-round in both locations! But do you have any time to do anything else?

my house this morning

here is a bloomer

Wow, you got way more than I did, Allison!

and it's funny... i drove 10 mins away from home this morning..... and there was really nothing... just lucky i guess

:)

edit --- my scarecrow in the first picture... looks like a snowman

thought this shot was kind of funny.... this is my easter egg plants

Wow, Allison.......you really got snow!! I like that shot of your Easter Egg plants! Very cool!

Sue - Yes, I am really enjoying being able to do a garden down here. I still have lots of time to do other things, since I have a relatively small area for my veggies and herbs, and most of the other plants pretty much just need some watering first thing in the morning. At most I spend until mid-morning puttering around with gardening. After that, it gets a bit too sunny for me. Today I planted my white luna hibiscus seeds....can't wait to see what happens with them!

It "snowed" today. I picked up the thing that could have been a weed trailing out of where my climbing roses are planted, and wouldn't you know it, but it was a rose with a clematis twisted around it, BOTH blooming. Too dark for a picture, but UNBELIEVABLE! (Said ala Wally Shawm in the Princess Bride.) (NO, that was INCONCEIVABLE!)

XX, Carrie

There was snow in NY, NJ, & MA?? Nothing in CT.

Oh yeah! It is G. Rozanne. Duh!

Jeez - look at all that snow - I'm snowblind!

Nice rose pic Victor.

Great snow shots from yesterday!
We got our snow today. Would you believe that the town actually plowed the roads?

No need for a plow here, but it absolutely snowed. Pretty on the branches of the round tree that we carved out. It gets dark so early - too dark to take a picture! Here's an old one. Take out the plants under the tree and take off the leaves and add a little snow.

Awesome, Carrie. I've always loved theatre of the mind

Victor, that rose shot is amazing. You could make a beautiful card with that one.
Snow.....brrr...thank goodness none of it fell here.

Thanks Anita.

These are the last of the blooms in my garden, I think. One brave day lily is still trying to bloom. Pretty soon only our dear dogs will brighten the garden until those early blooms appear in Feb. I hope everyone enjoys T-day. Patti

Same to. you Patti.
Amazing you still have blooms.
Beautiful dogs, too

Yes that is amazing. Happy T-day, Patti, and to all!

Patti:

Great colors still are there for you to enjoy. You are so lucky.

Lucky You, Patti! Very nice.........and love your pups!!

great shots patti.... hope everyone had a good turkey day!

Nice Patti.

I was going to take a pic of the last flowers to open - a scabiosa, but the rabbits had them for Thanksgiving breakfast I guess.

so nice to share Al

You still had scabiosa blooming? My goodness! That's quite an accomplishment.

It would have bloomed earlier, but the rabbits kept it chewed down all year(except for that month when they forgot it was there)

Still ~ quite amazing. Mine finished blooming in August. Maybe it died? Next year will tell.

I have one lonely burgandy blanket flower (real name is like gallardia but I probably spelled it incorrectly). Some Lavender David phlox was still blooming yesterday - until I cut it down. Still have a few Dianthus Helen blooming and some viola and pansies. Oh - and Tournament of Roses has blossoms - but tonight the temperatures are going down to 16 degrees - so I doubt any blooms will survive that!

i have snapdragons and strawflowers that just won't give up! some dianthus and verbena too. and i even had gazanias trying their hardest to bloom yesterday before the rain.
i need the space for bulbs, darn it!

Lots of pretty hibiscus in full bloom now.....

Here's an orange double hibiscus I like a lot........

Very pretty! (Even if you cheat)

Love to look at the blooms this late in the fall!! Beautiful!! Eleanor

Looking is wishing, and wishing is dreaming, and dreaming is planning, and planning is budgeting, and budgeting is getting everything we want for our garden ~ next year!

Don't ya think?
You all have some very nice 'late bloomers'!!

Thanks, Louise. they're beautiful!

Candy, I like that :0)
