Bloom Day - December, 2018

The 15th of every month is Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day, when we all post photos of what is blooming in our gardens.  But, today is not the 15th, is it?  With the rush to finish work before the holidays and our eldest son coming home tomorrow for Christmas, my mind has been elsewhere!

Although winter is right around the corner and we have had some frost, I do have a few pretties to share.

This rose looks lovely, until you realize that it is Benjain Britten, and that icy-pin color it is sporting is not its true color.

Abraham Darby, protected by a stone wall, continues to produce near-perfect roses.

La Sevillana has not noticed that all her neighbors are lying dormant.
Such a hard worker!

The mums are on their way out, but they still provide color.


Gaura, oh gaura!  How did I ever live without you before this year?  She has been blooming for a record-breaking 8 months!

  2. That's gaura for you! Mine stopped putting out new flowers, and while it was still a pretty plant, with the waving wands, I always cut mine back to the ground around now.
    So, all I have is rosemary, and a budding, out of season, borage.

    The La Sevillana with the frost is so pretty. I don't "do" roses! I do however enjoy other's roses!
