Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day - Nov 2016

Welcome to Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day for Nov 2016.

Here inwards my USDA Hardiness Zone 6a garden inwards cardinal Indiana, nosotros only woke upwardly to the offset freeze of the flavour a few days ago. This trounce the onetime "latest offset freeze record" develop inwards the 1940's past times close 4 days.

This agency my bloom twenty-four hours postal service for Nov features some  seed heads covered amongst heavy frost.  They are the ghosts of the growing flavour past.

Do y'all recognize Joe Pye Weed inwards the offset picture?  I excogitation to cutting off those seedheads inwards the side past times side few days. I dear Joe Pye but would non attention to receive got its flowers all over the garden.

The same is truthful of the goldenrod.

I relish goldenrod inwards belatedly summertime as well as early on autumn as well as so exercise many pollinators, but it would non hold upwardly adept to receive got it all over the garden.  Those seedheads' days are numbered.

I'll permit the seedheads for tall sedum stand upwardly through the winter.

It provides a prissy landing pad for snowflakes inwards the wintertime fourth dimension as well as I've never seen it self sow.

It's funny how that offset freeze stops everything inwards its tracks, including these autumn crocuses.

Some of those buds powerfulness opened upwardly up when the Sun hits them as well as warms them up, or not. Shrug. We gardeners inwards temperate climates amongst 4 seasons must grow to dear as well as convey our seasons including winter. No flowers terminal forever as well as that's okay. We would grow weary as well as tired of them if they did.

I made 1 terminal banking concern fit for buds on the Christmas Rose, Helleborus niger, before heading inside.

I'm hoping for some wintertime flowers to a greater extent than or less Christmas fourth dimension or before from this hellebore because if I don't instruct blooms from it, I'll hold upwardly bloomless exterior until perchance Feb when the  snowdrops as well as witch hazels wake up.

But inside...

There are e'er blooms on the Crown of Thorn plants.

I receive got 2 of these euphorbias, 1 amongst yellowish flowers, the other, inwards the background, amongst pinkish flowers.

Nearby, Plectranthus 'Mona Lavender' is blooming.

The blooms are much lighter, nearly white, which makes me wonder if this was mis-labeled or if it only has faded blooms when it blooms nether depression low-cal atmospheric condition similar those indoors.

Or is it copying the nearby Thanksgiving-Christmas cactus?

And that's what's blooming hither at .
