What's blooming in your garden?

It's 2 weeks before Thanksgiving and I just cut a lovely bouquet of roses, salvias, russian sage, campanula, delphinium, chrysanthmums and centranthus rubor. We've even had two frosts, lowest temp overnight about 29! Of course the pansies are still going strong. I've seen a few blossoms on the vinca, veronica and scabiosa too.
What a crazy year! Didn't turn the heat off until almost June, a drought and then a hurricane in Ohio! |

| No dandelions here, but my bradford pear still has not dropped most of its leaves! The flowers have all given up now. The bouquet that I mentioned is still in the kitchen window, and several of the stems are putting out roots--especially the chrysanthemum. |

| I saw a dandelion bloom yesterday as well as some sweet william hanging on. My mother is still getting calendula blooms. My strawberry starts are green under there and the columbine starts from this spring are still growing too. I have some seedlings started in the fall from bell flowers and hollyhocks that are still going and I noticed that there is foilage coming up from my new dutch iris that I put in a few months ago. |

| My Baby Blanket roses are still blooming in the snow. The physotegia (obedient plant) are also in flower. I know it's not fair to add, but angel trumpets in the greenhouse are going through their third flush. I feel lucky! |
