Believe it or not, but the time has arrived, for the first spring seed catalogs to show up in the mailboxes of gardeners. Here is a pic of my first 3 catalogs:

In late September, I took cuttings from my Rosebud Double Impatiens, and Sedona Coleus. Well, they've rooted, and have been potted up, in 3 inch pots. They will be my garden starts, for next spring:

Miss Huff has come inside. I have had this plant for 3-4 yrs. She is still in bloom, in November!

In the forefront of the pic below, is my blooming PURPLE FIRESPIKE, Odontonema strictum, in bloom, in November. Other plants in the pic, are a Japanese maple, a fruiting winterberry holly, in fall garb, and a fruiting snowberry. Anybody else familiar with the Firespike?

This is a FIRST for my gardening journey. I have tried growing this type of ORCHID, several times, before finally seeing it bloom, in my garden. This somewhat hardy form of orchid, is called the WHITE EGRET FLOWER ORCHID, Habenaria radiata. When you look at the flower, you'll see why it was named after the egret bird. The flowers are no more than about an inch across. I had to place the pot, in a hanging basket, with several carnivorous plants (all of these love boggy, wet conditions), on my garage, to keep them away from squirrels, and other critters:
