Garden Bloggers Bloom Day

It's November.  We've had our first major frost here on The Edge and we are on the edge - the edge of Winter.  There are still a few hardy plants putting out blooms and these are blooms to cherish.  The last blooms before GBBD turns into House Plant Bloom Day.


My reliable Scabiosa Butterfly Blue


The last of the Gaura


One remaining bloom on Aster(Symphotrichium) oblongifolia October Skies


The Aster (Symphotrichium) oblongifolia Raydon's Favorite is still going strong.


A lone stalk of Agastache (Heat Wave) is still blooming.


Same with the Salvia nemerosa (May Night)


And then there are the reliable fall bloomers.  A few ragged blooms left on the mums.

Lastly the Pansies.  These will bloom until buried by the snow and then they'll come back in the spring to bloom some more.  Gotta love a plant that's that tough!

Thanks to Carol at May Dreams Gardens for this meme.
