In My Garden Today Posted by Alvin in Motown, z6 on November 1, 2024, 9:20 pm La Nina winters are often wetter. I would prefer the "wetness" to begin earlier, as rain, rather than later, as snow. I'm still planting things, as the ground is still relatively warm. However, due to dryness, that began here, in September, is continuing into November. Heck, I'm still manually watering in newly planted things.... Quackin' Grass Nursery sent a reminder email, that this is their last season, in business. Like an old Donna Summer song, it's their "Last Dance": https://quackingrassnursery.com/Our-Plants AHHH... The JUJUBES or Chinese Dates are ripening. They are a welcome fall treat.. https://photos.app.goo.gl/xJ1uCBnz7mxKVcKcA Another nice fall-bloomer, is doing its thing. The YELLOW WAX BELLS, Kirengeshoma palmata, are blooming. This plant has maple-like leaves, like Abutilons do... https://photos.app.goo.gl/PJj8pmRFa3TJMnjR6 Fred, the saffron type FALL CROCUS are blooming, in my yard. Like the Colchicums, they sport larger blooms, than spring Crocus, but the saffron type has similar grassy foliage, to spring Crocus... https://photos.app.goo.gl/JGqkj7LzzVhpCL9e8 https://photos.app.goo.gl/PkvaUh3vQC1KRex1A

Re: In My Garden Today Posted by Fred SC on November 2, 2024, 2:52 am, in reply to "In My Garden Today" Alvin, the lavender. color of the foul crocus is nice I like the intention of the wax bells as well. I couldn’t tell what type of foliage was on the wax bales but if it looks like Albutilon , it’s nice . I used to sometimes jpicj Jujube fruit at the Burnheim Arboretum in Claremont, Kentucky when I lived there. It is very dry here also , Alvin. We haven’t had any rain since the hurricane Helene came through here , Wrecked havoc, and dropped several inches of rain with flash flooding. I don’t want flooding, but we Need rain badly.

Re: In My Garden Today Posted by Fred SC on November 2, 2024, 3:26 pm, in reply to "In My Garden Today" Nice honey crop, Alvin ! I took a few pics of honeybees on the chrysanthemums just now. They are e we irking as live with bumblebees and a few honeybees. Here are a few pictures. First picture is of the entire area. https://i.ibb.co/YPjhhCj/IMG-5827.jpg https://i.ibb.co/JmvjFK9/IMG-5829.jpg https://i.ibb.co/2Swrk6k/IMG-5824.jpg

Re: In My Garden Today Posted by Alvin, z6 on November 2, 2024, 9:36 pm, in reply to "Re: In My Garden Today" Thanks, Fred. There is a large Hosta leaf, close to the Yellow Wax Bell bloom, that took up most of the pic, but there is a leaf or two of the Abutilon-like leaf. The "palmatum" part of the botanical name, is referring to its "flowering maple-like" foliage. Jujubes are tasty.

Re: In My Garden Today Posted by Alvin, z6 on November 2, 2024, 9:40 pm, in reply to "Re: In My Garden Today" Someone, within a mile or so of you, has honeybee hives (unless you have some, in your woods, lol), Fred. If so, those bumble bees have some real competition, in terms of nectar and pollen gathering, in the area, especially with less in bloom, this time of year.
