What's blooming today?
Wordless Wednesday
This is a photo of my Sedum of unknown name in my backyard. The plant came with the house and must be one of the older varieties. It’s quite floppy, especially when well watered.
I took this photo at the beginning of October when the flowers were just starting to die down. The bumble bee’s were out and were especially enjoying the New York Asters but they like visiting the Sedum plants as well.

New York Asters
Now that the weathers beginning to cool most of the plants in my garden are beginning to die down but the New York asters still look pretty good. Not quite as good as they do in this photo which was taken about a month ago or so, but they still look nice enough.
Over the next week or so I’m going to be going out in the garden to trim plants and prepare the garden for winter. I hope it’s not too cold outside when I do my garden winterizing!
It feels like it’s gotten so cold outside! I think that’s only partly true though. I’m sick again with fever and sore stomach so I’m just freezing, even inside my own home!
Looking outside at the garden that I don’t dare walk in when I’m feeling this cold indoors I can see that the leaves from the big maple tree have begun to fall over the lawn and garden, and some of my plants have started to die down.
Those that are shutting down for the winter include the balloon flowers and the Phlox. As I mentioned in earlier posts many of my flowers are still going strong, although I suspect they won’t be for much longer!
We still haven’t had any frost … or at least I don’t think we have, certainly we haven’t had any hard frosts, but I expect within the next week we’ll have our first. That might be the only thing that shuts down my roses! I swear they want to keep blooming and blooming. Silly plants!
Some of my visitors have mentioned in comments that their gardens have been hit by frost already. How is everyone else’s garden fairing this first week of November?
