    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.

        @AndyD Nice! You're lucky to actually have flowers in November.

        Here everything has died back to the ground except for the odd anemone. Most of the trees and shrubs are devoid of leaves, except for an oak leaf hydrangea that is remaining stubbornly green and a fothergilla which has been slowly changing colors for weeks now.

          Same here really, just a few patches of colour. And the rain, you wouldn't recognise Aysgarth Falls this last weekend.

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

                The one thing I do before posting pictures is run them through an image sizing app, so it’s only a couple hundred KB instead of 4 MB each. Trying not to make them costly for the forum to host.

                  @AndyD Beautiful! I envy you having bush sized Fuchsia. Here, they are sold as potted plants and only last the summer.

                  I really need to get some Hellebores. They're pricey, though.

                    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.

                      Woke up to heavy snow falling and minus 1 temperatures, so it'll be helibores only till spring. Winter came early!

                        As much as I love the growing season, I also enjoy the peacefulness of winter. It's a time to cocoon and regenerate energy for the next spring and summer.

                        Of course I say that as a retired person who doesn't have to go out in the snow to get to work.

                          Ha! There is something blooming around here after all.

                          Mr wtg and I went for a brief walk which took us past our friends' house, and lo and behold, their witch hazel is in fragrant full bloom!! I smelled it before I saw it.

                          I love both the scent and the delicate spidery-looking flowers.

                                  My snowdrops finally started blooming this past week, about three weeks later than they did the last couple of (very warm) winters.

                                  I was afraid my chives might not have made it through our extended deep freeze, but they are coming up.

                                    I know some of you in the North and East of the US are enduring snowy storms so here's something colourful to look forward to.

                                    These in the garden pale in comparison to the local councils planting hundreds together in roadside beds.

                                        Not exactly a bloom, but we emerged from winter this week and I found this little tree. Yikes!

                                        IMG-5311.jpg

                                        It’s a dwarf weeping Altas Cedar. It came through the winter of β€˜24-β€˜25 just fine, but the cold snap this winter may have killed it. What? Don’t cedars grow in Alaska and stuff?

                                        Nursery guy says it’s probably fine - that it will drop the brown needles and grow new ones. Sure enough, the branches are still pliable so maybe there is hope.
