The weather is mild enough that blooms continue to appear. Most of the leaves have fallen from the trees but there is plenty of color in the shrubs. The garden tasks still are mainly trimming perennial stalks, raking leaves and other general clean up duties.
I still have colorful photos to show you. If you are interested come join us tomorrow morning for #Six on Saturday. This is able hosted by Jim Stephens. Here is the link if you need it. https://gardenruminations.co.uk
So, come along as we tour the garden.
These large hickory nuts are shellback I believe. They are golf ball size and they do cause some pain if it falls on you while you are in the yard.
The azalea leaves had such an usual bronze color. I had to photo this and I want you to notice the bloom bud beginning to form.
The oak leaf hydrangea has such a wonderful late fall display which will continue throughout the winter.
This garden nymph is how I feel about garden problems. Inexperienced but thoughtful.
The obedient plant seems to be on the final rung of blooms. The seed pods are still attracting birds.
The roof lily has been a complete surprise with this late bloom. It is certainly a pleasure to see.
We expect some rain this weekend. That should bring down the majority of the leaves. We have no frost in the forecast so I may have more blooms to show you next week.
Until then, Happy Gardening!!

When we first moved to our latest garden, I was desperate to identify the plants. I almost convinced myself that we had a hickory, I can see the nuts look similar to the ‘fruit’ that fell. But as the seasons rolled around the Camelia showed itself. This was my first Camelia, and I’m learning about more plant id as we go along.
I didn’t know about hickory nuts and had to Google to find out more about the tree. I understand that you must not be below! 😂
My area was originally an oak and hickory forest since we have a ridge and valley topography. There are many different species of each. Indeed, you must be careful about the falling nuts.
I love the colour and veining of the Oak Leaf Hydrangea.
