IT CAN'T BE NOVEMBER

I live in British Columbia, Canada. We don't usually have the best weather in the month of November. Well with that in mind I went through my yard today and took picture of what is still blooming out there.
There was lavender, hydrangea, bellflowers, sedum, the same yellow roses that are posted on my sidebar, fuchsias.
There were impatiens, asters, begonias, snapdragons, millet, more fuchsias and potato vine.
This is really quite surprising for us. I don't ever remember having this much still flowering this time of year. I guess this is what it is like in California right? Okay maybe it is a little warmer there.

I am joining in with Mosaic Monday. Head on over to Little Red House to see what is going on over there.

I am also joining Tootsie for Fertilizer Friday (no fertilizer required) Boy can this woman grow flowers. Go by for a peek.

    We still have dahlias, two brave rose buds and some ragged geraniums still blooming - but things are pretty well finished otherwise.

    Your garden is just beautiful, Lori. Have you been holding back all summer {or did I miss a few posts...duh?} Thanks for the share, I love it all. We only have mums blooming!

    XO,

    Your whereabouts certainly don't look like fall right now. We still have some impatiens, but due to our very hot and dry weather the end of the summer msot things in the garden are very tired and worn looking. Have a great week!

    I've still got swiss chard like crazy. I guess it's payback for the late to arrive summer :-)

    Hey Lori! I have been missing you! Great pictures--there is absolutely nothing left in my yard, but it is from drought and not from cool weather. Hope all is well with you!

    Oh I don't know Lori. We are envious of your BCers when you can garden most of the year and we in Ontario are buried in snow.

    Hope you had a Happy Halloween!
