| The black snakeroot bloomed just a couple of weeks before the first hard freeze but as of Thursday it's finished for the season. At least now I know it will survive the first couple of frosts, along with the toad lily.

| Beautiful flowers. Thanks for sharing them with us. Don |

| Lovely! Isn't it nice to have a few things hanging on at this time of year? Today I was outside rippping out the frost-bitten zinnias, and I saw a beautiful pink gladiola in bloom! What a surprise! I put it in a little bouquet with a few pink, magenta and white snaps, some salvia Victoria, and one last pink zinnia. Nice to have a bouquet like that in November, no matter how small. Alyssum is great, isn't it? You'd think it was spring just looking at it in full bloom right now! :) |

| Pretty. Everything in my yard is pretty much done. The Yvonne's salvia didn't do so hot this year, and no rain didn't help. Yesterday I still had a few coral nymph salvia left, but it's 25° now so it will probably be a goner, too. Karen |

| You have lots of interesting flowers still hanging in there. Your pictures are wonderful to look at and I so enjoyed seeing them. I'll have to look through older posts for more of your artistic work. Connie |

| Glad you enjoyed the pictures. There are quite a few photos out there Connie despite the horrible drought this summer. I'm amazed at what tolerated the parched conditions as much as I am dismayed to learn some of my favorites aren't at all drought tolerant. So many of the things I winter sowed won't bloom until next year, I'm really looking forward to next year's pictures of Echinacea, red hot poker, rose campion, painted daisies, blackberry lily, Siberian iris, penstemon & globeflower. Lots more pictures to come! |
