ABC Wednesday and Outdoor Wednesday, October 22, 2014

ABC Wednesday
O is for Oxalis


Oxalis grow all around the world except in the polar regions. They may be grown as potted plants or as garden ornamentals. Leaves may have from 3 to 10 leaflets.

The flowers have 5 petals and may be white, yellow, pink or multi-colored. Here in US zone 7,
my Oxalis flower from Spring to late Autumn.


And now for Outdoor Wednesday:


Greetings from Pontotoc High School, Pontotoc, Mississippi, USA

Hope you are having a wonderful day!

This is the side view of a headlight of a Corvette I saw at a car show. I just love it!

Have a wonderful week!

Rain, Rain and More Rain, October 16-17, 2014

Pickwick Dam on the Tennessee River, Wednesday, October 15, 2014
Though this looks like a black and white photo, it is not.

 



In the past week, we've had three severe thunderstorms, each one bringing a tremendous downpour of rain.  Now the clouds are gone, and we are looking forward to sunny days.

Hope you have a beautiful week-end!

Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day October 2014

Encore Azalea 'Autumn Beauty'

An Encore Azalea blooms in the Spring when other Azaleas do, then it blooms again in the Autumn - an encore performance! 

Butterfly Bush

My Butterfly Bush as been blooming for months, even though I have not been able to deadhead as I usually do.  It is really big now, taller than I am.  Does anyone have suggestions for me about when and how much to prune it back?

We've had a lot of rain these first two weeks of October.  Day temperatures are mild and nights are cool.  Our Hummingbirds have left to go South for the Winter, but we have a couple of feeders still out in case stragglers come by.  A few days ago I bought Pansy plants (hardy all winter here in US zone 7) so that I will have some blooms as the weather gets colder.

 

 

Happy Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day!
