Garden: GBBD--November 2013

Yea!  Despite some really inclement weather today, I scrounged up a few photos for Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day, hosted each month by Carol at May Dreams Gardens.  

I've got fuchsias:

More fuchsias:

Camellias:


Campanula poscharskyana "Blue Waterfall"--makes a nice groundcover under alchemilla:

Leucanthemum "Shaggy" (I think?):

Alyssum:

These inmates of my son's garden (you'd think, maybe, I could have snatched that dead stalk out of the way. Maybe. But it is what it is.):


Japanese Anemone (A little ratty and just about the last one, I think.):

Well, that's about it.  There are still a few blooms on the Rosa mutabilis and a few buds.  Geranium "Jolly Bee" has a bloom or two, and Persicaria "Dragon's Eye" actually looks pretty fresh.  But, most of the garden is going down fast.  Notice...no wide views!

Until next time!

I like the sticks. They make the marigold real. That marigold reminds me of an unusual marigold I saw at Chanticleer recently. Very different. Highly decorative and very un-marigold-like. I'll have to look up the name.

James--I like the marigolds that make a loose, billowy mound that is a bit reminiscent of a coreopsis, but bushier. Are those the ones you like? I wasn't sure what these would do--having purchased them for 60% off at a season ending sale--they were half dead--but I thought they might be of that type.
