Late Fall Blooms
Oxalis reblooming
Clematis putting on a second show
{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{ Bless you DEAR! }}}}}}}}}}}}}}} Thank you!
Here's hoping for more beautiful bloom photos to get us into the short and cool days of winter. Thanks!
Love the clematis!! What are the red flowers in the clematis picture?
I had to go back and look. I missed the red I was so busy admiring my favorite color and loved the dragonfly too.
What beautiful blooms, Anna! Thank you for sharing them with us. My oxalis stayed up all summer, even in the dead of August! Can't wait for it to start blooming again.
marieortiz, the red is Red Cascade climbing rose. It has been blooming all summer.
stephanietx, some of my oxalis turned rusty in the summer, so I cut it down. I wonder if those were the ones with too much sun. Are your in alot of shade?
John Fanick phlox is loving this weather
No, mine are in full sun. I noticed one was blooming today.
I love your John Fanick's phlox! Growing up in San Antonio, we used to go to Fanick's nursery all the time. A beautiful tribute to a wonderful gardening family.
I didn't realize there was a Fanick's nursery. It must have been wonderful to visit. Does it still exist?
It does! They are known for their roses and native trees, especially pecans.

Not sure what these are but my landlord has pruned it into a small tree abot 6 ft. tall.

Fancyflea ~ I know you are enjoying these October blooms and glad you survived the TX summer. I'm not familiar with your small tree, is it fragrant?
Placenciarita ~ does your candy corn vine stay inground and out over winter? I got a small Manettia cordifolia (related to the candy corn) but it is borderline hardy in this zone...
fancy...that tree looks like a jatropha. Nice pics everyone!
Hi podster. It has no scent but it started blooming about 2 months ago and still has buds opening. thanks blue eyes. I'll check into researching jatropha.
podster, I have the candy corn plant planted in the ground,in a protected area.
This is my first year growing this vine. It is very easy to grow and flower continuously, the hummingbirds love it.
I am realy interested in your Manettia cordifolia if it is cold hardy in my zone. I will look it up.
What is your zone? In the PlantFiles, it is listed as Manettia cordifolia and 8a to 10b. PDN has this listed as a Manettia inflata, zone 7b to 10. The PDN plant appears to be the same one. Mine is still tiny so I brought the pot in for the winter. The reading I have done indicates it is a late summer bloomer but worth the wait in my opinion.
Tell me what that last vine is... Coral vine? Very pretty!
I think that last vine is a type of clerodendron. common name bleeding heart vine
podster, I am in zone 8a too, and after doing a little research on the Manettia cordifolia I found someone growing it in Plano which also is in 8a. She said that it is a very thirsty plant, and is under the impression that it is not hardy in 8a. I guess that I will be adding another plant to my list to take in and out of the greenhouse.
phughes is right , the flower is a bleeding heart vine, not fully opened.
Well, the bleeding heart is beautiful ~ thanks to you both for the ID.
Next year when the M. cordifolia is established, I intend to leave it in the ground (maybe taking a start indoors) and mulching it well. I believe it will do all right. The reading I've done indicates it has root tubers, described as corkscrews and once established hard to erradicate. Sounds like my kind of plant! * ) I hadn't read thirsty as much as needing nutrients on a regular basis to keep it blooming.
I have about 12 potato vines that are still going crazy. I tried 1 of these purple plants and it has bloomed its little head off all (HOT) summer! Can someone tell me the name? It looks like cheneel (sp) bedspeads of long ago!
And here is some color from around the pool right now...
And a few of the profusion zinnias that were around the sprinkler heads didn't get pulled up...haha
Edited to say I posted the wrong pic...BEFORE I pulled out that dead Cordyline Austrialis....sorry....

And the last area that has fall blooms: a path on the side of the house with impatiens....
Connie ~ your landscape is so lush and lovely. I like the "splashes" of color by the pool. They compliment each other well? You can't have much you need to mow ~ I like it.
