And that's all she wrote for 2014 Bloom Days! Thanks to May Dreams for hosting.
Fingers crossed for less gray sky and dirty snow this winter. Maybe if we're lucky there will be something blooming worth doing a November bloom day post. Hey, a girl can hope. In the meantime I think I need that Aster 'October Skies'. Happy GBBD!
ReplyDeleteFingers AND toes crossed. We had a very mild winter a few years ago - I'm hoping for a repeat of that! And yes, Aster 'October Skies' is a must-have. Just make sure to cut it back in the summer or it gets too rangy.
DeleteThe cute blue flower looks like Plumbago. You have lots of nice colorful flowers still, I hope you will still have some next month. I hope to have some asters, threadleaf coreopsis, and Gaillardia blooming next fall. The Gaillardia colors are just smashing. My little plants just have to make it through the winter.
ReplyDeleteI thought it was Plumbago but my plant is an annual and I keep reading that Plumbago is a perennial, so it's been confusing me. Fingers crossed your plants emerge in the spring.
ReplyDeleteYour plumbago might return. There are different types. The trailing one is a tough perennial that will definitely come back. I love that Spanish Flag vine. I was considering planting that next summer. Love all those asters!
ReplyDeleteI overwintered plumbago inside and it did fine. I mean, everyone who saw it thought it was dead but I knew it was fine!
DeleteThe Spanish Flag is great, though it only bloomed at the end of September! I kept waiting and waiting, but the show it's putting on was worth the wait.
