The mailing list is getting kinda slow - I guess the gardeners are going
dormant with their gardens!
A rudbeckia I planted this summer is still putting out new flowers (slowly,
but surely). It got going late and I guess the 5-10 degree C highs we've been
getting for the past couple of weeks are enough to keep it going, despite the
nightly frost. It even survived having 20 cms of snow dumped on it for a week.
A cold front is heading our way, though. I think this is _really_ the end of
the garden for the year. The only other things still showing colour are my
baby calluna vulgaris (oh, I hope they survive the winter) and one sedum
spectabilis that was sheltered enough that the snow didn't flatten it.
What's blooming in your gardens?
