    Day after Thanksgiving and there's still flowers doing well and even a few new blooms... like on the miniature Canna.

    There's a little bit of "fall color" today with the Tallow Trees getting ready to drop their leaves, but the brighest tree right now is the Sassafras. The photo just doesn't do it justice.

    And here's some of the plants still looking pretty.

    I love your blue Plumbago - such a delicate and pretty shade. Most of my plants have gone into hibernation already preparing themselves for winter. Thanks for sharing your blooms with us. :-D

    Very nice to see that colour, Cheryl. That miniature canna is quite a looker, isn't it?

    Eileen... I love the Plumbago also... I think I'll be adding another one because the blue just stands out so much among the reds, pinks, purples.

    Barb... This time last year I don't think I had much of anything still blooming... and especially didn't have NEW stuff to look ad.

    Sjoerd... I picked up that Canna by accident, it was mislabeled. But no complaints... it is such a cute little thing.

    Thanks everyone!

    Cheryl I would be so tickled to see flowers like this now but our season is a bit different here.kale is still pretty out along driveway.I will notice in the city to see if anything is still blooming.Kinda doubt it. It got very cold the past couple nights.
