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

[Bernard]

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.

@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.
