Thank you Barb & Lynne.
I think it is actually due to the rains we have been having. So my not being able to get out & water was not a factor this year---subsequently I (and they) lucked out!!!

Gosh that pineapple sage is gorgeous. Lynne posted a picture of hers a few seasons ago and I have planted one each summer ever since. Last year it bloomed and was pretty although not as pretty as yours, but this year the plant got big but didn't bloom. What the heck did you find that thing? :wink:
The colors on all your plants are so pretty.

the window planters have that coconut liner in them that keeps the dirt in so the siding doesn't get dirty.
The pansys will stay until it gets hot again. They can take the cold. The heat kills them. One summer I had a pot heavily shaded under a big tree and the heat finally got them in July. That's the longest I've ever had pansys last.

first a question---Valarie has some geraniums in one of those coconut liners. --------------------is there a way for her to keep it indoors for the winter, - ---------------------so that she could put it back out next year?_____________________________________________________________________________ Now here is some of my November blooming flowers.... below is one of the purple coneflowers that I have babied along from the "farm". I have kept them alive every since Valarie brought them home when she was 15---I know I have told THAT story too many times before..... here is my Yellow goblin- turned Burgundy-turned "This" galliardia. ^^^ Finally here is my Coconut Lime Echinacea

it's like spring here today and everyone wants a little bit of the nectar. I guess 3 inches of rain has made these encore azaleas happy.

That is an award winning butterfly shot, Sheri. And I like the hydrangeas as they age also.

Thank you ladies. I've got 3 encore azaleas planted and usually they bloom sporadically a few flowers at a time. Yesterday they were all three blooming and were full of blooms. Like I said 3 inches of rain....

I wish I could grow azaleas here I love them try as I did several time they just didn't "take" osteospermum white spoon flowers%20summer%20fall09/november09bloomwhiteosteospurmum.jpg" alt="[Linked Image]" class="post-image" style="height:auto!important;max-width:100%!important;"/> flowers%20summer%20fall09/nov09whitespoonpetaledosteospurmums.jpg" alt="[Linked Image]" class="post-image" style="height:auto!important;max-width:100%!important;"/> Splender mum flowers%20summer%20fall09/november09slendermums.jpg" alt="[Linked Image]" class="post-image" style="height:auto!important;max-width:100%!important;"/> what I really love about these flowers is that I get blooms in the first part of spring and again in the fall as long as I keep them watered over the hot months of summer they reward me again this time of year,

Good Luck with it, It sounds beautiful! Thanks, it IS alive, but is not growing as fast as my last one did--perhaps I should "fertilize it some???

In the mean time the base of the bulb seems to be getting more greenery---could other leaves be growing ?/ do I keep watering it once a week until it all is definatley dead---or growing well ???
