I know I said the other week that that would be the last for the garden… but I wasn’t quite right. Though we have had some pretty freezing temps the last week or so, the last of the Toad Lilies still managed to bloom.
I may order more come spring because I just love these little guys!
And despite the frost, these little guys were still trying to bloom. Clockwise from top left: Dianthan, Snapdragon, Beard Tongue and Stonecrop.
And you may remember how beautiful the last of my Chicago Peace roses were…
Well before the frost hit, I cut the last few budded stems and brought them to bloom inside.
What a difference! You’d never know they were from the same bush!
Any surprises outside your house?
Oh, what a nice bonus to get an extra week of flowers! Love the opened roses in the house! Outside-the cold night temps have really helped the citrus fruit to ripen!

Beautiful blooms – the last blooms are always special.

Your garden is truly amazing! Who would have thought there would be roses mid-November. It is so neat that Burton plays fetch – even on his own. What a wonderful cat!

I can’t believe the blooms you still have. Everything here is dead or dying. It’s been pretty cold for this time of year. We went from summer to winter.
