Also, partially under a Japenese Maple! Our soil is clay based.

I'm always looking for plants that flower into fall, and put these on my list to try next year.&nbsp;</p> <p>Wow Joy, Lilacs blooming in early November? Very strange indeed.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-garden-pics-of-the-fall#post-1747847 Mon, 07 Nov 2016 03:59:21 +0000 Anonymous 1747847@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Runcarla, I definitely want to try the Japanese anemone if they will grow here. Late summer flowers that look so ethereal are seldom seem. Are yours in full sun?<br /> It has been a strange growing year. A friend back in Kansas says that her neighbor's lilacs are in full bloom now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-garden-pics-of-the-fall#post-1747765 Sun, 06 Nov 2016 21:25:21 +0000 Carla 1747765@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joy, the flowers are called Japanese Anemone. They are a fall blooming perrenial. Mine start blooming in September and go for about 8 weeks in successive waves. They seem quite hardy and disease resistant. The picture below, taken late September, is my current iPad screen saver. </p> <p>Interesting about the late Iris. Some of my day lilies have started to bloom again. It has been a very strange growing year. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-garden-pics-of-the-fall#post-1747651 Sun, 06 Nov 2016 05:00:34 +0000 Anonymous 1747651@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Carla, you have some lovely plsnts and color in your garden. What are the flowers in the last photo? I need to get a photo of my neighbor's blooming irises...in November! There are lots of roses yet. Below are some small but bright roses in our front garden and another flower that I don't know. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-garden-pics-of-the-fall#post-1747578 Sat, 05 Nov 2016 21:59:24 +0000 Carla 1747578@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Summer just kept hanging on, and though we had drought, leaves remained green - until last week. The first picture is looking across the ravine that is our backyard! The others are from the garden. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-garden-pics-of-the-fall#post-1744286 Wed, 26 Oct 2016 01:20:03 +0000 Ginger 1744286@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you so much for posting! These are lovely, and it's great to see so many plants that are new to me. You've inspired me to post some pictures of my garden, too. It's going well again, now that it's not in the 100's. I have some crazy snapdragon bushes that are about 4 years old. Somehow they survived some seriously cold weather and ice storms in those years. I'm a fan now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-garden-pics-of-the-fall#post-1743679 Mon, 24 Oct 2016 12:37:44 +0000 Chris987 1743679@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here is the exact variety of coneflower...</p> <p><a href="http://plantsnouveau.com/plant/echinacea-southern-belle-2/" rel="nofollow">http://plantsnouveau.com/plant.....n-belle-2/</a></p> <p>ummlila this is the first year I've had this so will have to see if it makes it through the winter.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-garden-pics-of-the-fall#post-1743486 Sun, 23 Oct 2016 20:53:09 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1743486@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joy, have you ever tried autumn crocus? I am hoping mine will be up soon if I ever get the leaves blown out of the garden.</p> <p>I planted 100 daffodils and 50 tulips (apricot and dark purple) two weeks ago.</p> <p>I love that coneflower, but I am in northern New England, most of the fun new varieties I have tried don't seem to make it through the winter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-garden-pics-of-the-fall#post-1742106 Thu, 20 Oct 2016 13:22:48 +0000 Anonymous 1742106@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just finished planting 50 daffodil bulbs for some color next spring. Squirrels are already digging them up but at least they don't eat them like they do tulip bulbs. Does anyone have any favorite varieties of crocus? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-garden-pics-of-the-fall#post-1741944 Thu, 20 Oct 2016 00:59:58 +0000 Chris987 1741944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone! Angie you are right gardening really does bring me joy, I love feeling connected to nature. The cycles of gardening in a 4-season climate are just so wonderful to me, with all the predictable and unpredictable things that happen. </p> <p>Danusia I'd love to share gardening ideas with you. We don't have a deer problem but DH's veg garden is constantly threatened by woodchucks, and sometimes they break in despite the electric fence and chomp away.&nbsp;&nbsp;I wonder if the deer were going for unusual stuff this year because the drought was causing their usual food to be in short supply.</p> <p>elgal i have never tried to propagate sedum indoors, but I do have several of the ground cover type that spread quite well&nbsp;without&nbsp;doing anything. Maybe I'll try what you are doing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-garden-pics-of-the-fall#post-1741914 Wed, 19 Oct 2016 23:36:04 +0000 elpgal 1741914@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very cool. I am trying to propagate this sedum indoors so I can plant it in a sunny patch next summer. That cactus is gorgeous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-garden-pics-of-the-fall#post-1741865 Wed, 19 Oct 2016 20:30:37 +0000 Anonymous 1741865@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks beautiful! Unfortunately, the deer have eaten many things they have never eaten before like our sedum and mums. Planning on ripping out some of our landscaping and do new planting next spring. I may just pick your brain and green thumb for suggestions. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-garden-pics-of-the-fall#post-1741813 Wed, 19 Oct 2016 18:28:54 +0000 Angie 1741813@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pretty.

Colors are gone from my garden, but still have the green of lettuce and herbs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-garden-pics-of-the-fall#post-1741610 Wed, 19 Oct 2016 10:05:08 +0000 Chris987 1741610@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Xtabay, yes that prickly pear always gets huge comments from people, it's a gorgeous plant (bright yellow flowers in summer) and most people don't realize there is a variety for my climate and are shocked to see it.</p> <p>UmmLila maybe someone else will see this posting and tell us what it is </p> <p>Joy I'm afraid the identification marker got lost on that pink flower, so I'm not sure. I'll go look it up and see if I can find out what it is. So that is Sumac? I've seen that plant and always wondered what it is. Great colors! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-garden-pics-of-the-fall#post-1741558 Wed, 19 Oct 2016 04:11:01 +0000 Anonymous 1741558@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That variety of cone flower is gorgeous. What is it called? My submission is sumac "trees" outside a kitchen window. They don't get enough sun there. And the neighbor's Autumn purple ash which is our main view out the back. These trees are stunning this year, like living fireworks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-garden-pics-of-the-fall#post-1741472 Wed, 19 Oct 2016 00:12:19 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1741472@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We have that purple weed around here, too, always wonder what it is. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-garden-pics-of-the-fall#post-1741397 Tue, 18 Oct 2016 21:57:28 +0000 Anonymous 1741397@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice!&nbsp; Such beautiful, rich colors.&nbsp; A lovely way to close out the year.&nbsp; That prickly pear is a wow! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-garden-pics-of-the-fall#post-1741262 Tue, 18 Oct 2016 17:14:08 +0000 Chris987 1741262@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Late last week we&nbsp;had our first “frost warning”, which meant we&nbsp; scrambled to bring in all our houseplants&nbsp;that live on our deck all summer, plus throwing sheets over the tomatoes and&nbsp;peppers still growing in DH's veg garden. We have about 3 dozen houseplants,&nbsp;many quite large, and it's quite a project to move them all in fall and spring.&nbsp;We wait as long as possible to bring them in, so the first frost warning is a call to action. It’s a bittersweet task in the fall,&nbsp;because it means the seasonal end of using our&nbsp;screened in porch and deck.&nbsp;Anyway, it was a false alarm! &nbsp;I figured I&nbsp;should sneak in one last round of garden photos before the real frost arrives. </p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>1 Prickly Pear Cactus (a variety&nbsp;that grows in our cold climate) with “hips” like rose mallow plants produce; supposedly&nbsp;you can make jelly from them. </p> <p>2 cattails growing at the back of&nbsp;our yard at the edge of the wetlands</p> <p>3 Last few gallardia blooms</p> <p>4 Mums and the rare “NordstromusDeliverarius”&nbsp;perennial that pops up in the least expected places and does not need soil,&nbsp;sunlight, or water :-)&nbsp;</p> <p>5 Not in bloom,&nbsp;but love the red foliage of the penstemon</p> <p>6 Phlox that fell over onto the brick walk, not good for this location but could not bear to dig&nbsp;it up while it’s still in bloom</p> <p>7 a variety of coneflower</p> <p>8 Russian Sage…the&nbsp;flowers are almost still blue but more like grey now</p> <p>9 Sedum Autumn Joy</p> <p>10 A tiny flowering&nbsp;weed that appears everywhere this time of year, it’s a very pale lavender</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
