Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day, October 2020

The northeast corner of Mississippi, USA zone 7b


There are still a few blooms on the Turk's Cap, aka Sleeping Hibiscus

'Iceberg' Rose

These Asters were a gift from a friend last year.

The Phlox are almost finished. But they will be blooming again next Summer.

My Butterfly Bush is still blooming.

My Encore Azalea 'Autumn Royalty' is the prettiest I have ever seen it! Eight years ago it was a nice little potted plant. Now it is taller than I am.

Unless we have an early frost, the buds on my 'Confederate Rose' Hibiscus will have time to open.

The peppers are still blooming in the vegetable garden.

They produce small mild peppers, similar in taste to bell peppers. They are sweetest if left on the plants to ripen to a deep orange color, but I usually pick a variety of colors.

Happy Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day!

  2. All is wilted and brown here, except for a few hardy mums, but the colour on the trees is magnificent.

  3. We should have our frost Saturday morning - many areas around us have had theirs already. Love your rose and hope your Confederate rose can bloom. That's another plant I so wish I could have. Enjoy your GBBD!
