Bloom Day, Laundry Day
Ornamental Laundry
We don’t have a ton of stuff blooming in our garden for November. Our laundry is actually the biggest show of color today, with one of Anita’s shirts nicely matching the bloom color of the Spicebush and the Fuchsia. The spicebush is mostly done blooming, but the fuchsia has climbed into it and from a distance the fuchsia flowers make it look like the spicebush has more than its three or four remnant blooms.
Fuchsia and Spicebush
Sidalcea malviflora
I hadn’t noticed that the Sidalcea malviflora plants have woken up, but one is starting to bloom already.
Arctostaphylos John Dourley
Manzanita ‘John Dourley’ has opened a few flowers.
Bearded Iris
Some of our Bearded Irises decided to do a fall bloom. This is the darkest one of the batch, my favorite.
Blessed Calendula
And Blessed Calendulas. We always have some orange calendulas blooming (and needing to be deadheaded). Alyssum, a rosemary, the last basil plant, two Salvia chamaedryoides, and the cannas in the graywater planter are the other plants blooming in our yard. Check out Garden Bloggers’ Bloom Day at MayDreamsGardens to see lots more plants in bloom.

What a great shot of that Iris, how lucky to have a bloom in Nov. Mine are regrouping & sending up new shoots.

I like the Sidalcea malviflora! I keep meaning to get some of that for my own yard.

Lovely blooms, but my favorite is the first photo–the vine with the multi-colored blooms. I have one here too but it is an annual and not blooming in this cold weather.

Good show! I’ve been planting bulbs this weekend, no time for bloom day. Interestingly, I just got a Sildacea and it’s blooming too. Hope it makes it through the winter.
Happy bloom day!

Laundry as garden art. Love it. November’s a tough month down here too. There’s lots about to happen, but we’re not quite there yet…
