Thank you, Arlene. Digging out the black buckets so I can cover my two Iris stalks overnight Wednesday and overnight Thursday. Not supposed to actually hit freezing, but I ain't taking that chance! Big Grin

That's a great idea! I always forget to do things like that. I have a short delphinium Jennifer started from seed that is loaded with buds, I think I'll cover it too!

The Hamilton Square Perennial Garden, Historic City Cemetery, Sacramento Is full of fall color and the weather is too nice! (78) We just planted 180 + new perennials from High Country Gardens, Morning Sun Herb Farm, UCD arboretum and others. Tomorrow in go about 200 bulbs. Were not done buying yet. Off to Annie's Annuals next. Always a treat. Lots to do and loving it.

Beautiful, Leslieray. And, of course, I have to love Hamilton Square, even if it weren't so beautiful...because of my last name, you see. Big Grin

There is, of course, a story behind the naming of this area of the cemetery. When this was an active cemetery and they were trying to sell plots in this area they needed to attract people to purchase plots here so...... the Hamilton family agreed to re-re-inter this son of an important personage if this area was named Hamilton Square! The garden is the burial site of William Stephen Hamilton, the youngest son of Alexander Hamilton, the first Treasurer of the United States. He is the cemetery’s most restless resident. He died once (1850), exhumed twice (1877, 1889) and buried three times in three different locations.

This is Mexican Bush Sage (Salvia leucantha 'Santa Barbara') with (Salvia 'Waverly') down the row. They bloom and grow taller from may until frost. Waverley is now blocking the walkway but that's OK.

Just some photos of same view I see every morning, photos taken from 30Oct2014 to 10Nov2014. Love that garden across our house..gives me Mother Nature's cheerful color palette. Our side of city trees are still so green...not ready to do any transition yet.

Oh, and good luck folks that will have the early winter storm..bundle up and keep warm Group hug

This little Crepe Myrtle surprised me with a bright display!

Aconite has just shed it's last blooms, but I took these a couple of weeks ago before the hard freeze.

Crocus speciosum has been blooming for nearly a month now.

Cinda, I planted 50, but not all show in the pic. Each corm has produced a succession of blooms. Keeping my fingers crossed they increase nicely. I also planted 10 of each of C. sativum and C. medius, which have both just begun to bloom.
