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.....
mexican mint marigold 
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.

fall aster
 It is fall, so true to the name, the Fall Aster are blooming like mad.
mexican flame vine antigonon
 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.
mountain sage
 The Mountain Sage is full of blooms.
spanish lavender
 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. 
lions tail
 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.
firespike
 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.

Happy GBBD!

salvia oceana
A few shots for GBBD!
Above is the Salvia 'Oceana'.  I love the color of this Salvia- Salvia's are hard to beat- we just started growing this one and I love the color- almost an indigo blue- striking I think.
san pedro cactus
The San Pedro Cactus blooms are MASSIVE.  I don't know if you can tell in this photo but let me assure you- they are HUGE!
kalanchoe bloom
 The Kalanchoes are blooming all over the place- we have several varieties and all have beautiful candelabra style blooms that are beautiful!
hesperaloe chiangii bloom
The Hesperaloe Chiangii are blooming- I love these Yuccas- one of the few Yuccas that aren't sharp and pointy!  The bloom spike is so tall!!!!  The one in the front sign bed is blooming as well.  
golden barrel cactus
The Barrel Cactus are starting to bloom!
mountain sage
  The Mountain Sage, Salvia regla are blooming away and the hummingbirds are all over it!!!
And last but not least, not a bloom but a sleepy little frog hanging out catching some zzzz's...
Hope everyone is having a great summer!!!
Be sure and check out May Dreams Gardens to see what is blooming all over!
