We finally had a hard frost the other night. My reblooming iris and coreopsis succumbed to the cold. They had survived the first frost, which was just barely below freezing, but this time they gave up. Here they are before that.
Today, Charlie and I walked around the yard and saw that some flowers are still blooming. A single small zinnia is hanging in there, and yarrow looks more conspicuous now that it’s competition is gone.
My small garden in the back has fared better than the one in the front yard. Blanket flowers are still putting on a show, and some black eyed seasons are blooming.
And here’s my assistant looking up at me on the deck.
...the outside blooming season is over here!
ReplyDeleteYou still have one sweet little flower in your last photo :)
ReplyDeleteLinda - oh my, your assistant is ADORABLE! I am long past frost and any flowers left in the garden, but they sure look pretty covered with snow! A beauty all their own!
