First, I’ve got to apologize again for the quality of photos. Not only is my DSLR down for the count, but so is my iPhone. (It’s supplied by work, so a new one is on the way) I’m down to using my five-year-old cheapo Android phone. It gets the job done, but well…
Anyway, onto the post!
It’s frosty out there, we’ve even had a little snow. But some flowers just cling on!
The Toad Lilies aren’t really a shocker, they are late bloomers and seem to love the cold.
The marigolds are pretty hardy too, but after the snow melted off them the other day, they look a little like they are encased in ice.
There’s no butterflies around any more, but the butterfly bush has still got a few blooms.
Chicago Peace just never quits!
But can you believe these darn irises!?!?
Or these strawberries? I doubt they’ll ripen, but you’ve got to give it an A for effort!

You are in an amazing climate to get the most out of your garden! (Well , the gardener is amazing, too!) The Peace rose is superb….

Wow!!! We have had our first hard frost and even the sunflowers were wilted this morning when I walked. Your gardens have just been spectacular this year!

Goodness! You’ve got so much still blooming. We had a hard frost last night and everything went over. My poor yard looks terrible. My hostas all turned yellow and mushy and my little unexpected impatiens family is no more. Sigh.

I was in the woods yesterday, and the only blooms still out are on the witch hazel. I hope to add a bush to my yard next year; love the late-season flowers.
