What's Blooming in October

By LarryR
October 26, 2012

Although our gardens are still officially beset by this year's drought, and we're still about eight inches shy of our average annual rainfall, we've been blessed with some pretty generous rains lately. And despite numerous frosty nights, our gardens are not yet bereft of blossoms. Come on in, see what's blooming, and check out the winner of last month's What's Blooming contest.

Oh Larry, it is so wonderful to see you again. I have truly missed your monthly contests. I've learned so much from them.

Many thanks, Lynn. I'm glad you enjoyed the "What's Blooming" articles. This particular article was a rerun. I'm currently concentrating on several writing projects that are consuming most of my time.

One is a magazine article and the other is a book.

I am very much looking forward to those, Larry. Can you give us a hint as to the content?
I garden for the pollinators.

The book will be a compilation of gardening articles I've written over the years. The magazine article will most likely be about daylilies.
