    We have had torrential rain, wind, hail, snow and cold temperatures for the past week, but these guys don't seem to mind. These are the last blooms I will see until spring.

    Lovely colours! Is that an Aconitum on the first photo? *squints* Isn't it amazing how some plants defy the hail, sleet and frost and just carry on? :D I'm glad they do, though. It would have been very dreary around here if not.

    Beeeautiful, actually you have much more color left in your garden than I do and we haven't had the change in weather you have had.

    Yes it is Droopy, but I'm not sure which one. It is always the last thing to bloom in my garden. I have photo's of it blooming with snow on it somewhere. I'm not sure what's going on with the others, but I'm not complaining!

    WOW so much colour Netty!! Your garden must still look lovely at this time of year. Sadly the only things that have managed to withstand our weather are the winter pansies out front.
