In My Garden Today Posted by Alvin in Motown, z6 on September 17, 2024, 11:01 pm Believe it or not, the time of year has arrived for a few of the area "early to show fall color" trees to begin showing fall color. The trees that are earliest to show, here, are the honey locust and ash. Portions of these trees are beginning to show color. Not fully colored up, yet, though. October is the month that most area trees color up, and the show goes into November.. Here's a pic of another of my DOUBLE Tuberous Begonias.

Re: In My Garden Today Posted by Fred SC on September 18, 2024, 9:41 am, in reply to "In My Garden Today" Alvin, the turtlehead flowers are beautiful as is the tuber begonia bloom. I do like the little blue Ageratum. it used to grow below our house in a damp area where I used to live in Kentucky and I always thought it was nice. I always liked the red backed leaves of the hardy begonia. The bloom is nice as well. The hardy Carolina Jessamine will be good. Here we pronounce Jessamine as Jasmine. There is a Jessamine County in Kentucky named after native jessamine there.

Re: In My Garden Today Posted by Alvin, z6 on September 18, 2024, 10:54 pm, in reply to "Re: In My Garden Today" Thanks, Fred. Margarita is supposed to be hardier than the regular Carolina Jessamine. I'll see, after I put it in the ground, soon, and see how it does. Ageratum is usually sold as an annual, but this one is a hardy perennial.

Re: In My Garden Today Posted by Fred SC on September 19, 2024, 6:14 am, in reply to "Re: In My Garden Today" Yes. That in Kentucky when I was a kid was perennial.
