It's the 15th of the month -
Blogger's Bloom Day. And ten days to Christmas!
Left is one of my favourite plants this time of year -
Poinsettia. I buy a poinsettia every Nov for the holidays.
Below is a snapshot of the last bit of colour in the garden...
A few
roses are still in bloom. Let's just say they aren't looking their best (the plants look rather cold). Normally I would give the hybrid tea roses a rather hard cut in December, but I haven't bothered.
There are still some
Malope blooms but the plants aren't looking too great. This is a hardy annual so surely it won't last much longer.
These primula look a bit battered.
The topiary
azalea plant is in bloom. This was a gift a year or two ago from a friend.
The Irish
heather is going strong!
Even some
snapdragon are still flowering. These are hardy annuals so shouldn't last much longer.
Calendula Orange King, a hardy annual, struggling on, but almost finished.
Prolific flowering at the minute -
Broccoli '(Autumn) 'Green Calabrese'.
My first year growing broccoli and I didn't manage to eat much broccoli as the plants always seem to want to flower. And they're still flowering!
Happy December
