I am glad I made these photos a few day ago - it is raining here today.
Carolina Jessamine is a vine that blooms after the Summer's heat has passed.
Turk's Cap is also called Sleeping Hibiscus.
My red Rose has a few blooms. Our temperatures have been so mild that the bees are still buzzing around!
But the star of the show this year is the "Autumn Royalty" Encore Azalea, blooming for 4 months now!
Happy Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day!

We have some plants in common. I find it interesting that your Carolina jessamine blooms in autumn. Here in Texas, it's strictly a early spring bloomer. I'm glad to know that I can pop over to your blog and enjoy these lovely flowers now!
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteLovely blooms. it is amazing you have an azalea blooming for 4 months.
Take care, enjoy your day!
I love your colorful blooms especially the one with bug nestled in.
ReplyDeleteYum! I miss the blooms. I have a few things hanging on after multiple frosts and freezes, but my view is mostly gray and brown now. Thanks for sharing your color!
ReplyDeleteI love Carolina Jessimine - it's not hardy where I live (New York State) but I've seen it bloom in Virginia (during a very mild late January visit), North and South Carolina (both in March). Interesting. I wonder if it blooms all winter in these places. I can't imagine an azalea that blooms for four months, either. (Just checked Encore Azalea and they wouldn't grow here, but might grow in the New York City area, part of which is also zone 7.) Happy GBBD to you.
ReplyDeleteIt has turned cool here and I think the last of my flowers will be gone this week. These ones are lovely, Lea!
ReplyDeleteI love the azalea, Lea. That was one of my favorite plants in my former garden but sadly azaleas don't appreciate the conditions they find in my current garden. Happy GBBD!
ReplyDeleteI love these blooms. Such beauties for November...sigh.
ReplyDeleteI see we have plants in common. Your fall blooms look quite lovely. Happy Bloom Day.

ReplyDeleteThat colour would be very welcome here on a dull, grey, windy November day.
ReplyDeleteSo fun to see flowers! :)
ReplyDeleteSome nice flowers and insects - there are some many ways to be both!
