Bloomscrolling--what's in bloom where you are?

There are not a whole lot of blooms left in the yard, but I brought in a few I could find along with some foliage to brighten the dining room.

We've had a couple of frosts these past 4 days yet my roses are blooming. Not big blossoms, but blossoms indeed.

This pretty white one is the one I accidentally strimmed down to nothing--not once, but twice!--this summer. I felt so bad. But look at it! It's come back and putting out flowers. I will be extra extra careful next year.

This is the one that lost most of it's canes last winter to frost damage. It's grown a whole set of new ones.

These two bushes are both sporting a flower.

Now is when I get really confused, though. I want to protect them for the winter and we've had a few frosts, but their leaves are still looking healthy and green. Do I wait another month before covering them? I don't feel I should cover them now when they've got blossoms and green foliage.

There are still a few Japanese anemones blooming, but not many.

And the blue June hydrangeas are a fun purple. Not really blooming, just waiting to get frosted.

Hydrangea when dying back into plum & claret colours are often nicer than the flowers.

Here's my Christmas cactus this morning

@rustyfingers, I was perplexed when I first got here about how to upload images directly to this forum. It's not immediately obvious.

When you click on 'reply' to someone's post, you may get a mini version of the input editor. At the bottom of the input box is the "Quick reply" button. Immediately to the left of it is a diagonal double arrow icon. If you click that you'll get the full editor. On the full editor toolbar, the next-to-last icon on the right is the upload image tool.

If you're already in the full editor, just click the upload image icon (second to last on the right).

@Bernard Thanks. I'll try it. I've been wanting to post pictures.

It's official. The county I live in is experiencing an extreme drought.

@Bernard I'm sorry.

We've had no named storms in the Gulf of Mexico. We've been lucky.
