Simply Susan's "Favorites" meme since I'm not at the house to take photos, but I suppose I could just recycle some pics, right? Its not so much that I have favorite plants for the month of November, the whole
month is actually my favorite time of year in the garden since my garden is in its prime and frost hasn't yet laid waste to the landscape.

Here's a post from fall of last year... I don't have the treefern, rajapuri banana or areca palm anymore though! Stupid cold winter.

You are so correct about November being the best month in the garden....I think it rates next to April and May as well. It's artistic perfection....the green plants stay green and the plants that lose their leaves change colors giving off color accents all over....it's really beautiful....then December comes:(....but that's when I can start my spring work. Happy Thanksgiving!!
ReplyDeleteLove the shadows on that Everglades Palm and your Oncidium is gorgeous. I agree that it is so nice to be in the garden in November.

ReplyDeleteThe fall foliage is just now starting to light up around here, and there are these two local bradford pear trees that fire up with the brightest colors all the way in late December!

It really is great weather this time of year, and most of my plants keep plugging away in spite of the impending cold. Here's hoping that this winter isn't worse than the last! Oh, and the oncidium smells AWESOME!
Hi steve...Thanks for joining in this month. You have selected some really nice favorites. I have a bromeliad (that's just starting to bloom) that looks very similar to your heliconia. Hope you had a great Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteYour firespike photo is very beautiful. I love that plant too. My Hawaii Ti is also showing the pretty foliage this month. Love it!

Beautiful pix, Steve. Princess flower's a stunner. Is that tibouchina? I've seen some outstanding displays of Turk's cap this fall. I'll have to put that on my list. ... NanaK, there is always some disaster just around the corner here. Have you noticed? We gotta just keep a step ahead! (Cuttings!)
