Still have flowers this late in season....

I took thess pictures of the flowers in my garden Saturday Nov 15th. I can't remember the last time they lasted so long before a frost had gotten them. I wouldn't be surprised if they are gone in the morning but will see.

Just wanted to share, as many of us are already experiencing winter weather and it'll be awhile before spring.

How lovely. I still have some johnny jump ups and snapdragons. The butterfly bush has been amazingly beautiful and TALL this year and still has buds on it, but they may not open given the freezing weather at night now.

Well, the frost finally got them. Now it feels like winter is here to stay for awhile. It was nice to see them still blooming on Thanksgiving Day, as that doesn't happen often. Stay warm, everyone.

Thanks for sharing, beautiful photos.
Here's to an early spring.
