Just wanted to add a couple you have seen before but it's so nice to have these blooms in October.

Love those gingers, and got a shot of the butterfly on that last one.

Crinum gowenii
Lovely Crinums, two bloom stalks.


I'm throwing in something different here:


Georgia Savory---a small sub-shrub with very fragrant foliage, it's very minty when you brush or rub against the leaves. The pollinators love this one. I wasn't sure we could grow it here, but it is in a dryish hot spot, and has even survived our low temp of 6 degrees last winter with no cover. We think it is a great little plant. I have just submitted this photo to the plant data base.

Also, check out the moonflowers on the moonflower thread. I just put in a few photos from this year.
