Happy November GBBD

Can you believe it is November?  Can you believe November is almost over?  Where does the time go I want to know.  Happy November GBBD to everyone. 

 Below are some photos of things that have been blooming lately.  Hope you enjoy.  

 Alright, not a bloom but it looks like a rose bloom, and this is the start of a beautiful Kalanchoe bloom stalk.

 The butterflies have been everywhere.  I have seen so many different varieties this week!

 The Lions Tail are always such a stunning bloom- so unique!

 The Mexican Mint Marigold has a fragrance some love or hate- it's rather strong but wonderful if you like the smell of licorice.  

 Someone just wanted to say hi!

 The Celosia are covered in butterflies.  It is wonderful!!

 The Lantana are always butterfly and bee magnets. 

 Though not a bloom, the Artemesia looks beautiful right now.

The Dragon Fruit bloomed- I can't wait for the fruit!

Don't forget to stop by May Dreams Gardens to check out what is blooming on different blogs all over the world!

Where Does the Time Go???

 I can't believe it is already November!  Where does the time go??

Here is one of my most favorite combos I have done lately.  I think I am the happiest with this collection at least right now.....

 

I am posting some of the beautiful things that have been blooming lately- I love this time of year, I guess that is where the time has gone, I have been outside and not at the computer!

The Mexican Mint Marigold are STUNNING - full of color and the scent of licorice.

 It is fall, so true to the name, the Fall Aster are blooming like mad.

 The Mexican Flame Vine on the back fence is blooming away- I took this like a week ago but it is as beautiful if not more so right now- the Antigonon is mixed in with it and both are growing happily on fence in the full sun.

 The Mountain Sage is full of blooms.

 The Spanish Lavender are an old time favorite of mine.  Tried and true- I just love them.  Such an intricate bloom- they are just gorgeous. 

 The Lion's Tail are blooming- I can't decide if I like them like this the best or when they are in full bloom.  The Monarchs have been all over these today also.  I tried to get a photo but only had my phone with me today and they didn't come out very clear so I didn't include.

 The Firespikes are starting to bloom- I LOVE these- they are such great plants for the shade too with a HUGE bloom and burst of color. 

 here is one of the pots I put together showing off the Lions Tail.  Such a great plant. 

 Here is little miss thing being lazy.  Too cute- had to share.

And to follow, little Coop mimicking her- they are so neglected, you almost feel sorry for them.
