November 05, 2005. I guess I should really be putting up a photo of colorful fall foliage given the time of year. But with today's warm and sunny weather, it seems like the garden really wanted to show off the last of its flowers. There are still plenty of them - anemones, rudbeckias, chrysanthemums, linarias, fall crocuses, geraniums, and campanulas are among the late-bloomers. But the most surprising entry in today's show was Clematis 'Ramona', in glorious bloom, with new buds even. Maybe that's my garden's way of telling me I've been hiding inside too much - come out and smell the flowers! |
