Garden Bloggers Bloom Day October 2010

Carol of May Dreams Gardens invites gardeners around the world to share what is blooming in their gardens on the 15th of each month. I'm a day late this month, due to a nasty bug that I'm still suffering...so here are the shots, sans commentary. Hope everything is lovely in your garden!

Pigeon Berry
Mexican tarragon, one of the predictable yellows of Autumn.


Due to the beautiful rains we've been having the rose, Cecile Bruenner is having a lovely flush along with the Canna's which are towering over my head.

Turks cap

Shrimp plant

Canna lily
Mexican sage, cuphea, rosemary and Texas sage are buzzing with bees.
Thyrallis and Texas sage
New gold lantana and pony's foot
The blues...plumbago and rosemary
Hymenoxis


The umbrella shaped blossom of eggplant.
13 fruits by today's count. Eggplant
One of 4 tomatoes still in production this fall.
Fuyu persimmon, 17 on the tree now and there were only 2 perfect pomegranates. This is the first year of production. I put them in last spring and snipped the fruit off so the roots could get established. We've also been eating figs daily off the two tiny trees that died to the ground this past winter.
Peppers!
Geranium, companion plant to roses, she came back to bloom with them.
