It is November 1 and the first hard frost will hit that evening, but the day is sunny and beautiful and the garden is still pushing out its blooms. The ageratum, volunteers from last year's planting, hasn't went to seed yet and is a brilliant blue.
Of course, mums are the staple of the fall garden and the mum bed, on the west side of the arbor is still going strong, even though it's past its prime. This bed has hyacinths in the spring and iris in the summer.
The dahlias are still blooming and is the only tender bulb I haven't brought in for the winter. I just couldn't disappoint this late season bee.
The garden phlox started blooming in August and there are still quite a few blooming. The scent is wonderful.
The honeysuckle
my son transplanted in the middle of summer last year just won't stop blooming. And we were worried that it would be too stressed to survive.

I can't believe what is still blooming in November. Great pictures, and that sky is so blue!

Isn't it amazing how long the bees hang around? You'd think it was too cold for them, but they're still here, too.
That bed with the mums is stunning!
