Blooming in November.

OK. What's going on in November? Show us what's blooming, or just showing off!
Here's what was going on in October. : http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/908716/

These are Cosmos growing along I-26 in Calhoun Co.

We started threads for November at the same time. :)

I'll just add the link to my pictures in this thread and we'll go from here.

Oh No! I was afraid that might happen. Technicaly, it looks like you were 1 minute ahead!! :) LOL.

Roses are one of the things that have withstood the recent frosts well.

Foxi Pavement buds.

And bloom.

Miss Bessie's Aster

Old Blush rose

Aromatic Aster

I think I need to get some Miss Bessie's Aster next spring:)

This Calibrachoa has surprised me. Still looks good after 2 heavy frosts.

Sweetbay: you have all kinds os stuff bloomin'!
Chamthy: I have one lone callibrachoa still blooming. Pretty amazing. Came across a lone petunia blossom yesterday, too.

The China rose Archduke Charles

Chrysanthemum "Venus"

Dianthus

R. rugosa rubra in bud

Miss Bessie's Aster starting to open up.

Good to see sunshine and blooming! Between the rain and the time change( and voting and dentist appt) I haven't seen my garden since Sunday:( It's no wonder I get depressed this time of year.

On a brighter note I have been enjoying the photo contest. I think there are quite a few that I recognize:)

Not much blooming here. My Paper Butterfly daylily suffered from the frost but did open. Pitiful!

The sun did shine this morning and I was able to take a few pictures of what is still blooming.

This single stem of Georgia aster is from a first year seedling. I kept stepping on it accidentally so it decided to bloom in that position.

This old mum is still kicking.

Blushing KO rose still going strong. No fragrance, though.

More Miss Bessie's Aster

Early in the morning

Aromatic Aster is still in full bloom.

Clotilde Soupert with Aromatic Aster in background.

The asters and roses are beautiful! My Aromatic Aster is still blooming but past its prime I think.

Salvia 'Indigo Spires' has stopped blooming but the calyxes are still a pretty blue.

This Miscanthus bloom was glowing in the morning sun.

Shari that's a great picture of the Miscanthus. That's a grass that I didn't used to like too much -- I think because it's usually used badly -- think commercial plantings, or stuck somewhere by itself -- but it really works in a good garden setting.

We need to do a salvia trade next summer, or late in spring. :) April is too soon and fall is too late.

It always kind of amazes me how much cold asters and roses can stand up too. The annuals and real tender stuff is gone, blackened by the frost, but the asters and roses are fine. It takes a real freeze to knock them down. It's a good thing too, considering how late Miss Bessie's blooms.

Sweetbay103,
In the above picture of "foxi Pavement" the foilage looks so healthy. Is that due to treatments you use or is this one a disease hardy plant? I have so much trouble here in N.C. with rose diseases. The only ones I have that stay leaf healthy is my knockouts and one "Queen Elizabeth"

Sweetbay, I especially love Archuke Charles and that early morning aster shot!
Chamthy: I too have missed my garden this week! I've been taking similar shots of my miscanthus recently. So pretty when lit up like that.

Lynda, the rugosas are disease-free. They don't need spraying and if they were sprayed they would become sick. Sounds odd but it's true! I don't spray any of my roses. The best roses in my garden have been teas (not hybrid teas), chinas, noisettes, polyanthas, rugosa species and hybrids, R. palustris scandens, R. carolina and virginiana, and some of the climbers like Mermaid. I get them mail-order from Antique Roses Emporium, Roses Unlimited, Ashdown Roses, and Vintage Roses. Rogue Valley Roses is supposed to be very good two. I've gotten some beautiful own-root Hansas from Witherspoon in Durham.

Thank you Deb!

White Butterfly Ginger is still blooming, in spite of the fact that the foliage is now brown.

The last of the Swamp Sunflowers.

Sweetbay: How nice to still have those gingers in bloom! My B'fly. bloomed for the first time this year and it was short lived. Hopeful for next season, though. :)

Golden Showers (climbing rose) blooming again and cheered me up on a chilly day yesterday.
Deb

Beautiful shot, Deb!

Aromatic Aster

Anemone "Honorine Jobert"

Sweetbay: Do you have a photo of the entire plant of your Honorine Jobert? Catalogs only have close up shots of the flowers and I'm teribble with their descriptions. I really want to order this plant, but I don't want to if I don't have a good spot for it.

If you have a pic, would you post it or d-mail it to me?
Many thanks! (Love that Aster!)

Beautiful pictures everyone! It's surprising how much is still blooming in spite of the frosts. My purple aster is still blooming - frost doesn't bother it at all. The hedychiums are done - foliage is turning brown and no more blooms after they were frozen.

Here is an oddball - a single Lilium formosanum flower on a short stem. Never seen one bloom this late in the year before.

Here is Salvia madrensis. Some of the leaves got a bit of frost damage but it's still blooming. In last month's thread I think someone asked for seeds - it never forms seeds because cold weather will kill it long before any seeds have a chance to mature. But ask me again in the spring and I can dig some up.

Here's Salvia leucantha again. It's getting a bit ragged looking after being blown over by the wind and the flowers are fading. It's planted next to the house so it didn't get any frost damage - but the first hard freeze will zap it.
