Or my Salvia 'Amistad' that was improbably pushing out blooms, despite a freeze.
Or my Helenium 'Mardis Gras'.
But I couldn't pull my shit together last month (a recurring problem) and now those things have finally succumbed to weather. I'm left with Mahonia x media 'Arthur Menzies' outside.
Indoors I have a few blooms to cheer me up.

Happy bloom day to you and yours! Thank you Carol for hosting us. I for one am looking forward to spring crocuses, hellebores, and a new year.
I'm with you on looking forward to a new year and all those cool winter bloomers!
ReplyDeleteBetter late than never Heather, still pleased to see your November blooms!
ReplyDeletehey, glad to see you're not completely without mahonia flowers.
ReplyDeleteAfter seeing all the beautiful Mahonia in bloom this GBBD, I'm definitely adding one to my list of must-haves.
ReplyDeleteWe have so many Mahonias, but none that bloom in December. I definitely need to add 'Charity' or 'Arthur Menzies' for that fabulous hit of Christmas yellow. Happy Bloom Day, Heather!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, they're the best!
ReplyDeleteCharity seems to take longer to bloom but Arthur Menzies blooms right from the get-go. Happy bloom day!
ReplyDeleteThank goodness!
ReplyDeleteI get so irritated when I miss a bloom day--it's such a good reference point in later years.
ReplyDeleteHappy bloom day!
ReplyDeleteHa! My shit is not together, not even close.
ReplyDeleteWinter blooms? Curses to you west coasters. (And 'hi' - it's been a while)
ReplyDeleteI know, we're soft down here. And hi! Long time no see!
ReplyDeleteLovely. And yes, those Monkey plots are the worst. I blew through season one and have stopped somewhere in season two. There are ALOT of episodes in a season.
